Mom's Song
v4.5
Style: Melancholic indie rock with medieval folk influence, haunting and emotionally restrained yet intense, Male vocals, mid-range with haunting high notes, spoken word delivery building to melodic peaks, 16-bar fingerpicked acoustic guitar intro in drop D tuning, gradual instrumental build, Verses acoustic-prominent with light band support, choruses explosive with distorted guitars and full drums emphasizing toms, Walking bass lines, atmospheric cymbals, subtle synth pads, Moderate 70-80 BPM, reverb-heavy production for cavernous space, Structure: sparse intro building to cathartic release, breakdown bridge returning to intimacy before powerful finale
