The Days Did/Acoustic Version
Japanese female high school acoustic rock band, Acoustic version only, Around 5 minutes long, very slow-burning, Minimal acoustic guitar and acoustic bass, Very restrained drums or light percussion only, No drum fills, no dynamic build-ups, Vocals start completely alone, Instruments enter very gradually and quietly, No chorus, no hook, no climax, Repetition is intentional and should remain unchanged, Emotion changes through time passing, not volume, Avoid dramatic crescendos, Avoid anthem feeling, Avoid cinematic buildup, Monotone emotional delivery is preferred, Ending cuts abruptly, unresolved, No fade-out, Feels like time continues after the song stops, Do not shorten the song, Let silence and space extend the runtime
V4.5-ALL
