(Slow emotional ballad with symphonic and cinematic elements.

Piano-driven, with strings, cello, and solo soprano (wordless, operatic) in intro and outro.

Tragic, mournful, intimate. Slow tempo. Minor key.

Vocals: fragile, exhausted, almost whispered in verses,

building to emotional but controlled cry in choruses.

Clean male vocals, no growling, no screaming.

Instruments: piano (prominent, soft, with space between notes),

strings, cello, solo soprano, soft choir, melodic clean guitars,

slow emotional guitar solo.

Atmosphere: loneliness, loss, a man returning to a home that is no longer his.

Tragic, cinematic, deeply sad. Minor key. Avoid fast tempos, heavy guitars,

and aggressive drums.

Influences: Max Richter, Jóhann Jóhannsson, Lisa Gerrard,

early Anathema, Katatonia (ballads).

Structure: intro (solo soprano + piano), verse 1 (whisper),
