Dark piano ballad, slow rubato with brushed kick and hollow sub-bass; verses breathe in sparse piano and low strings, pre-chorus widens with suspended chords and rising pads, chorus lands on full piano octaves and string swells. Lead vocal is intimate and cracked, doubled on key lines with ghostly octave harmony and delay throws. Vinyl crackle, reverse piano swells, and a final cymbal bloom. Wide cinematic mix, wet and aching.
