Southern gospel-influenced rap, flow that has a slight "Preacher's Cadence", Dynamics: Start with a nostalgic, steady rhythm, Intensity: Let the flow become more fragmented and aggressive in Verse 3, Dark Pre-Chorus and uplifting Chorus: Full gospel choir During the chorus, have the lead rapper deliver a line (e, g, "I know there's still a table") and have the choir respond with a powerful, harmonized "With an open seat!", Use a Hammond B3 organ and heavy rhythmic handclaps during the choir sections to drive the "Gospel" energy, On the word "stone, " have the choir drop out momentarily to leave the rapper’s voice isolated and "heavy, " then bring the full choir back in with a swell on the word "alone", Insert a brief, 4-bar Musical Bridge before the final Chorus where the Gospel choir hums a traditional hymn melody (like "Just As I Am") At the ending: Strip away the drums and the choir, End with just the rapper, Use B♭4 — B♭4 — C5 — B♭4 — A♭4 — G4 — F4 — E♭4 — F4 — G4 — A♭4 — B♭4 — E♭5

7:51Song Image
Mix of German songwriter or protest song and soft metal, orchestral, For the guitar theme use a D-F-A-flat-C-C-A-flat-F-D chord progression alternating with a D-F-A-flat-C-C-A-flat-F-D-B-flat-E-flat chord progression, Vary with a D-F-A-C progression in more upbeat moments, For the lute theme use A-G-B-D and then a octave lower, Have the low-octave play a constant D pedal note underneath on the piano, Play both themes like an infinite hook, The last time the chorus it's sung, it could be a mournful acoustic melody, Let the song have an acoustic, folk-protest feel, The outro should be more spoken word, In the end the music should drop out entirely, leaving only a single, stark rhythm—like a heartbeat or a distant drum—before ending on a sudden silence
