POP ROCK

Alternative rock / melodic art-rock with a salty coastal atmosphere, Mid-tempo, around 108-112 BPM, The song opens with clean tremolo-picked guitar, light restless bass movement and dry live drums that feel like rolling water rather than heavy rock impact, Guitars are bright but slightly worn, with a cold sea-air shimmer, not metal-heavy and not overly polished, Bass is melodic, rubbery and very present, carrying the motion, Verses feel loose, swaying and slightly ironic, with a male vocal that sounds intimate, expressive and a little unsteady in an intentional way, more character than perfection, The chorus opens wider and more anthemic, with a sense of wind, distance and night shoreline lights, but still keeps tension and emotional ambiguity instead of full pop uplift, Add small instrumental hooks between lines, subtle surfy accents, and a feeling of movement through wet streets, harbour air and dark water, Romantic, strange, slightly detached, but memorable and catchy
