Alternative rock piano-driven ballad with neofolk warmth, 88 BPM, 4/4. verses: intimate piano arpeggios, soft acoustic guitar fingerpicking, restrained drums, cello drone. chorus: electric guitar wall of sound, full band, emotional swell but no screaming. bridge: stripped to piano and voice, raw and lonely. final chorus: full arrangement then fade to solo piano and cello. Vocals: low, husky, breaking slightly on emotional lines, half-whispered verses, soaring but controlled chorus. Mood: melancholic, cinematic, northern, autumnal, urban loneliness, quiet resilience.
