Indie pop ballad with slow brushed drums, muted electric piano, and a soft pulsing bass; verse stays intimate and close-mic, pre-chorus opens with rising strings and breathy doubles, chorus lands on a wide sung lift with stacked harmonies and a repeated hook phrase. Add reversed piano swells between lines, a gentle tape hiss in the intro, and a final chorus with extra vocal layers and subtle sidechain bloom. Warm, cinematic, and tear-stained mix.
