7:49Song Image
Dutch male voice, low and raspy, chanson-style, deeply emotional and introspective, similar to Leonard Cohen in his later years, Spoken-sung hybrid delivery, weight in every phrase, slightly dragging last words, Medium-slow tempo with space and silence, Core: slide guitar and upright bass, subtle brushed drums, sparse piano, occasional harmonium/organ textures, Harmonica as emotional echo: soft in verses, weeping in chorus, harsh in rage, fading in outro, Structure follows text with dramatic pauses and short instrumental interludes, Verse 1 intimate but tense, Chorus accusatory, Verse 2 darker aftermath, Chorus compact, Verse 3 explosive with percussive accents and silence after climax, Bridge 1 fragile, whispered with piano, Bridge 2 spiritual, carried by organ and warm resonance, Final Chorus subdued, heavy, fading into Outro with harmonica’s last breath, Rooted in blues, chanson and spiritual folk
4:39Song Image
Slow piano ballad in A minor at ~60 bpm, with 8-bar solo piano intro, Female lead, low male harmony in verse 2 (Iron & Wine style), Add “Ahh” choir moments: 1) under chorus 1 end, 2) slow rise in bridge, 3) soft tension under final verse, From verse 2 onward, include expressive solo violin with sparse melodic phrasing, Intimate, minimal, no reverb
2:57Song Image
4:59Song Image
An ethereal ambient song sung by a celestial female voice, Layered angelic hums, emotional verses, and dreamy instrumentation, Include rich reverb, ambient textures, slow pacing, and a blend of choral humming with clear solo vocals, Emotional tone: spiritual, reflective, bittersweet
4:58Song Image
Cinematic ambient soundscape with a blend of soft electronic textures and atmospheric orchestration, Incorporates stereo-panned effects that gently rotate across the audio field to evoke a sense of cosmic movement, Slow tempo with brushed percussion, light piano phrases, airy pads, and subtle melodic accents, Features non-lyrical vocals like "humm", "ahh", and "mmm" in layered harmonic textures, Interspersed with short spoken word fragments in six languages (English, French, Spanish, Low Dutch, Italian, and German), softly whispered with introspective tone, Includes sung verses in each of those five languages, each reflecting a different emotional facet of our search for intelligent life beyond Earth, The mood is mysterious yet hopeful, poetic and immersive, with occasional moments of uplift through shimmering tones and light echo effects, Ends with solo piano and a faint analog fade-out
4:09Song Image
A modern blues gospel song with deep, gritty emotion, Lead vocal by a *deep*, *raspy*, *hoarse* male singer in his 50s, reflecting on aging, loss, acceptance and strength, Support by a mixed gospel choir, including a powerful black female voice, Verses are intimate and raw, chorus is call-and-response style with the choir, Slide guitar and sharp saxophone are key: include a mini sax solo after verse 2, a slide guitar solo with handclaps after verse 3, and a long saxophone solo before the final chorus, Outro: fading sax + slide, Tempo: slow to mid, modern production with blues/gospel roots, Think: Gary Clark Jr + modern gospel + soul grit
3:31Song Image
Instrumental only, Start with a warm, acoustic sound: soft baritone male voice, slow tempo, intimate delivery, Verses 1 and 2 should feel gentle and heartfelt, From the first chorus, gradually build to a more energetic, soulful style, Verse 3 shifts to an upbeat, catchy pop-rock feel — playful and bright, like a summer hit, The bridge is the emotional highlight: full instrumentation and strong vocals, with a short, spoken or sung child-like female voice for one line, Return briefly to a more reflective mood in the pre-chorus, then add a humorous drop, End with a powerful final chorus and a soft fade-out, Avoid female vocals except for the child’s quote in the bridge
3:47Song Image
Emotional acoustic ballad in the style of Sinéad O’Connor's 'my darling child', Soft fingerpicked guitar and gentle piano as the core instruments, with warm ambient textures and subtle strings for emotional depth, Female vocals should be soft, breathy, and intimate — heartfelt delivery with a slightly raw, vulnerable tone, Slow tempo (~65–75 BPM), dreamy and reflective mood, solo violin in Verse 4, 70 bpm, The song should feel like a lullaby or a mother’s love letter: deeply personal, poetic, and nurturing, Avoid heavy percussion; keep the arrangement minimal and organic, Think spacious, melodic, and sincere — a soft, comforting soundscape to support tender lyrics about a mother’s love for her daughter, Note: “Wynona” should be pronounced similar to “Whyona” (one syllables: Whyona), and “Abichayil” should be pronounced “Abi-kale” (rhymes with “feel”)
6:34Song Image
Slow English blues with Fender guitars laying down raw and stretched-out riffs, Harmonica provides expressive solos in the breaks, using tongue blocking and tongue slap techniques, Saxophone weaves through the arrangement, alternating between soulful tenor growls and expressive alto improvisations with pitch bends and vibrato, Warm, husky male vocals deliver clearly readable English verses, half-sung half-spoken, with chant-like shouted choruses, Medium-slow tempo, heavy laid-back groove, deep bass, brushed snare, subtle ride cymbal, Final chorus is drawn-out and powerful, ending with guitar bends and fading feedback
5:58Song Image
Serene new age track with ethereal vocals, harp and breathy percussion, After bridge lyric "let me go", a soulful panflute answers in a melodic dialogue, Later, a melancholic panflute solo replaces the chorus vocals over soft pads, evoking hopeful longing, [Final bridge, before outro] The singer's voice breaks with raw, vulnerable emotion, She delivers the line "Let me fly to heaven, in search of you" with soulful intensity, On the word "heaven", her voice soars into a powerful, crystalline high note – full of anguish and spiritual longing – holding it with a fragile tremor before dissolving into the ethereal textures
