Acoustic pop-folk with a steady mid-tempo pulse, light hand percussion and warm acoustic guitar; verse stays intimate and story-led, pre-chorus opens with rising harmony and a softer drum lift, chorus lands with a chantable family hook and stacked doubles. Vocal is close-mic and tender in verses, wider on the hook with gentle ad-libs and a few echoed phrases. Add reversed swell into the pre-chorus, a sea-breeze chime between lines, and a final chorus with fuller bass and bright, open mix.
