Still Running
Lo-fi indie-folk with restrained, mechanical feel, Slow 72 bpm tempo, fixed pulse, no swing, Song begins with drums alone: dry, minimal pattern (muted kick, soft snare or brushed percussion) that repeats unchanged for the entire track, Vocals enter second, exposed and unsupported at first, Delivery is calm, emotionally flat, narrow melodic range, almost spoken, No dynamic swells, no expressive phrasing, Bass enters next, warm and subdued, repeating a short figure locked tightly to the drums with no variation, Primary guitar enters after, clean or muted, looping a simple two-chord or arpeggiated pattern that never develops, Optional soft texture (pad, organ, bowed tone) fades in last and stays constant, No builds, no chorus lift, no bridge, no climax, Dry, close production with minimal reverb, Repetition over development, Procedural, steady, emotionally numb, irreversible
