Ethnic medieval folk ballad with a slow swaying pulse, gentle hand drums and plucked lute figures; verse stays intimate with sparse accompaniment, pre-chorus opens with a rising drone and breathy harmony lift, chorus blooms with frame drum, flute answers, and soft choir doubles on the anchor phrase. Female vocals close-mic in verses, tender stacked harmonies on the hook, with a few airy ad-libs and bell swells between lines. Warm, natural, candlelit mix with a rustic, intimate sheen.
