(Emotional acoustic ballad with soft symphonic elements.

Slow tempo (65–80 BPM). Tragic, melancholic, intimate. Minor key.

Male vocals: clean, high-pitched tenor with a strong, clear tone.

Capable of soaring into falsetto on emotional peaks, similar to Tony Kakko of Sonata Arctica.

Powerful and controlled, but not operatic.

Clear diction, with a slight edge on the higher notes.

No growling, no screaming.

Instruments: acoustic guitar (fingerpicked, prominent), piano (soft, leading melody),

strings (subtle, not overpowering), cello, soft choir,

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

No electric guitars, no heavy drums, no double bass.

Drums: soft brushes or light percussion only.

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

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

Avoid electric distortion, fast tempos, heavy drums, and aggressive sounds.
