Dark Americana, Urban Gothic, gritty storytelling, contrasting dynamics, melancholic verses, aggressive chorus. Slow tempo 72 BPM, key of E minor. Deep tired male baritone, spoken-word verses, shouting chorus. Sparse fingerpicked acoustic guitar, muted upright bass, distant police sirens, mournful cello. Heavy distorted electric guitar and stomping kick drum in chorus. Clean jazz guitar and brushed snares in the bridge. No banjo.
