[OPENING — 8 BARS]
[HARMONY: Dm(add9) | Bbmaj7 | Gm7 | A7sus4–A7]
[PIANO: sparse broken chords]
[GUITAR: distant sustained D–F–A textures]
[BASS: D–Bb–G–A]
[STRINGS: very soft sustained fifths]
[DRUMS: enter only after first vocal phrase]

[VERSE 1]
[HARMONIC FLOW: Dm(add9) | Bbmaj7 | Gm7 | A7 | Dm | F/A | Bbmaj7 | A7]
[PIANO: play chord voicings continuously beneath each vocal phrase; small descending figures only between lines]
[GUITAR: long notes following upper chord tones]
[BASS: root movement with gentle passing tones]
[DRUMS: restrained 4/4 pulse]
[VOICE: lyrical melodic contour, mostly stepwise but with expressive third/fourth intervals]
( Dm(add9) ) Мы живём неосторожные,
( Bbmaj7 ) От сердца к сердцу - в одно касание,
( Gm7 ) Как ризной узор морозный,
( A7 ) В плотном воздухе соприкосаемы.
( Dm ) Всё остальное твоё состояние,
( F/A ) Это средь снега капель тающая.
( Bbmaj7 ) Там за окном и воздух мёрзлый,
( A7 ) Здесь оттепель в одно касание,

[PRE-CHORUS]
[HARMONY: Gm9 | Dm/F | Bbmaj7 | A7sus4–A7]
[PIANO: wider voicings]
[GUITAR: rising sustained counterline]
[BASS: G–F–Bb–A]
[STRINGS: slowly increase density]
[VOICE: melody rises gradually toward the dominant]
( Gm9 ) Ты полуобморочная изнеженная нега,
( Dm/F ) Я беззвучного горного эха голос,
( Bbmaj7 ) Ты крылами на взлёте
( A7 ) О волны меня бьешься,
( Gm9 ) И дрожит россыпь звёзд,
( Dm/F ) Разлетающихся и соприкосаемых…
( Bbmaj7 ) И ночь уносится в одно касание.

[CHORUS 1 — 12 BARS]
[HARMONY: Dm | C/E | Fmaj7 | Bbmaj7 | Gm7 | A7]
[PIANO: fuller chord voicings with gentle repeated upper notes]
[GUITAR: sustained melodic counterline between vocal phrases]
[BASS: connected D–C–F–Bb–G–A movement]
[DRUMS: broader but restrained, kick on 1, soft snare on 3]
[STRINGS: open sustained thirds and fifths]
[VOICE: strongest melodic statement so far, expressive but fully sung]
( Dm ) Как лебедь белая над гладью озера,
( C/E ) Как эхо, канувшее в чёрмном бору.
( Fmaj7 ) Как солнце полное вошедшее во чрево моря,
( Bbmaj7 ) Звезд отражение в нём,
( Gm7 ) В одно касание на ветру.
( A7 ) Где мы живём неосторожные.
( Dm ) Вся наша жизнь –
( Bbmaj7 )   В одно касание.

[INTERLUDE — 8 BARS]
[HARMONY: Dm(add9) | Bbmaj7 | Gm9 | A7 | Dm/F | C/E | Bbmaj7 | A7]
[PIANO: instrumental development of the vocal melody, never a new theme]
[GUITAR: long delayed notes answering piano]
[BASS: slow connected root movement]
[STRINGS/PAD: broaden atmosphere]
[DRUMS: reduce to sparse pulse]
[NO VOCALS]

[VERSE 2 — 12 BARS]
[HARMONY: Dm | F/A | Bbmaj7 | Gm7 | Dm/F | A7 | Dm | C/E | Bbmaj7 | Gm7 | A7 | Dm]
[VOICE: return to intimate register, melody clearly different from verse 1 while retaining the same harmonic identity]
[PIANO: flowing chordal accompaniment]
[GUITAR: soft sustained counter-melody]
[BASS: legato roots with occasional chromatic approach]
[DRUMS: restrained pulse]

[FINAL DEVELOPMENT]
( Dm ) Мы живём неосторожные,
( F/A ) От сердца к сердцу - в одно касание,
( Bbmaj7 ) Как ризной узор морозный,
( Gm7 ) В плотном воздухе соприкосаемы.

[CODA]
[HARMONY: Gm9 | A7sus4 | A7 | Dm(add9)]
[PIANO: sparse final voicings]
[GUITAR: one long delayed descending phrase]
[BASS: sustained D]
[STRINGS: fade]
[DRUMS: disappear]
[VOICE: soft final melodic resolution, long sustained final vowel]
[END: Dm(add9), natural decay, no loop]

[FINAL PERFORMANCE RULES]
[The entire composition must feel like a real melodic song, not spoken poetry.]
[VOCAL MELODY ALWAYS FOLLOWS THE HARMONY.]
[CHORDS SUPPORT THE EXACT VOCAL PHRASES.]
[INSTRUMENTAL PARTS REMAIN UNDER THE VOCAL AND NEVER REPLACE IT.]
[KEEP THE MUSICAL ENVIRONMENT PRESENT THROUGHOUT.]
[BUILD EMOTION THROUGH MELODY, HARMONY, TIMBRE AND DYNAMICS.]
