Hush Now ...
gothic lullaby, dark pop, neoclassical darkwave, cello lead, . Female vocals with a breathy, intimate delivery and heavy reverb. Clean electric guitar plays a repetitive, syncopated two-note motif. A sub-bass synth provides low-end weight on the downbeats. Mid-tempo drums feature a dry snare and a steady kick pattern. A bright, staccato synth lead enters during instrumental breaks, playing a melodic hook with a short decay. The arrangement alternates between sparse vocal-focused sections and fuller instrumental passages with layered synth pads. 110 BPM, Key of G Major, 4/4 time.

Lyrics
Close your eyes now.
The dark is soft tonight.
Let me sing you
into the quiet.
The shadows on the ceiling
move slowly in the night
they're not here to frighten you
they're just afraid of light
the floor is cold beneath you
the window holds the moon
just let the dark come closer
it's coming very soon
Hush now hush now
let the darkness in
hush now hush now
let the quiet win
the world is too loud
for someone like you
hush now hush now
I'll see you through
The things that used to follow you
have lost your scent by now
the fears that used to swallow you
have made their final bow
the dark has always held you
you've always been its own
it called before you felt it
before you were full grown
Hush now hush now
let the darkness in
hush now hush now
let the quiet win
the world is too loud
for someone like you
hush now hush now
I'll see you through
I know you're tired
I know the endless ache
the world kept taking
more than you could take
but here it all goes still
and here the weight lifts free
the quiet comes to fill
and stay a while with me
Hush now hush now
let the darkness in
hush now hush now
let the quiet win
the world is too loud
for someone like you
hush now hush now
I'll see you through
Close your eyes now.
The dark is soft tonight.
Let me sing you
into the quiet.
