Moody alt-R&B / trip-hop, 82 BPM. Slow, sensual, cautious but deeply emotional (Darci "On My Own" vibe). Deep sub-bass vibration, lazy stuttering trip-hop drums, warm muffled keys or guitar with light delay. Male low intimate vocal, close-mic, almost whispered with breathiness. Lots of space and pauses, unspoken tension. Structure: bass intro with water-drop sounds → slow intimate verse → building pre-chorus → deep melodic chorus → verse 2 with crack → pre-chorus → chorus → bridge (quieter, tense, almost confessional) → final chorus → abrupt cut → outro (bass fading, whisper).

Intro (вибрация баса, звук, похожий на далёкие капли воды, ленивый бит)

(шёпот, почти про себя) …I was just a shadow in the crowd…

Verse 1 (тихо, смущённо, близко к микрофону)

I was a boy with empty hands,

standing in the market dust.

You were the light they couldn't touch,

and I was just a thief they made up.

But you looked at me like I was real,

gave me clothes and a name to feel.

You said «come with me, I'll show you how» —

I'm still learning how to thank you now.

Pre-chorus (нарастание, бас становится плотнее, добавляется «водяной» синт)

And you're the storm, and I'm the rain,
