(Emotional power ballad in the style of Sonata Arctica (ballads),

with symphonic and cinematic elements. Slow tempo (70–90 BPM).

Tragic, melancholic, but hopeful. Minor key.

Male vocals: clean, high, emotional. Fragile and almost whispered in verses,

soaring but controlled in choruses. No growling, no screaming.

Instruments: piano (prominent, leading melody), soft keyboards,

clean arpeggiated guitars, strings, cello, soft choir,

solo soprano (wordless, operatic) in intro and outro.

Drums: sparse, soft cymbals, no double bass, no fast rhythms.

Atmosphere: loneliness, waiting, a man keeping a light on for someone

who may never return. Tragic, cinematic, deeply emotional.

Avoid fast tempos, heavy guitars, and aggressive drums.

Structure:

- Intro: ethereal wordless soprano solo, soft piano, cold arpeggio keyboards, no drums

- Verse 1: clean high male vocals, almost whispered, soft piano and clean guitars, no drums

- Pre-chorus: building slowly, soft drums enter, strings swell
