The prompt

A tender folk track with high energy and a broken-beat feel at 76 BPM. The low end is electric bass playing root-note anchored, under hand percussion with a tight and dry snare and sizzling cymbals. String section carries the harmony, sustained and washy. The arrangement follows intro-verse-chorus-outro. A full-voiced female vocal delivers a smooth and melismatic performance, joined by an airy male falsetto soaring and sustained. Tape saturation adds texture, with a wide stereo chorus on the vocal. Mixed in a lo-fi and saturated style, foregrounding vocal clarity and low-end weight, built on chromatic and shifting chords, leaving a tense and coiled atmosphere.
