V5.5

[Reverent Silence Intro] [warm room acoustics, crackling of a subtle fire, deep intake of breath, strictly a cappella] [First Ornamented Verse] [unaccompanied solo female singer, slow free rhythm, traditional sean-nós vocal ornaments] An ghaoth aniar ag séideadh thar an gcuan Is mo chroí briste, fágtha in uaigneas [Acoustic Pause] [vocal stops, allowing the natural room echo to fade, absolute reverent silence] [Second Emotive Verse] [vocal returns in a slightly higher register, intense emotional delivery, subtle vocal turns and nasal ornamentation] Na sléibhte glasa clúdaithe le ceo Ní fheicfidh mé mo stór go deo [Lingering Melisma] [vocal stretches the final word into a long, complex, wandering melody] Go deee-oooo... [Outro] [final vocal note fades into the intimate room acoustics, a soft final breath, pure silence]
