Recommended Sound Palette:
• Piano (felt or upright)

• Reverb: warm, long decay (3.5–4 sec hall)
0:00 – 0:40 | Intro – 68 BPM | Ambient, introspective
(Soft ambient hum. Footsteps. A glass set down. A slow inhale.)
Subtle piano motifs, single notes in D minor. Faint thunder in distance.
⸻
[0:40 – 1:25 | Verse 1 | Spoken-sung, near whisper]_
I don’t drink.
But I find myself in a bar
I have never been to —
drinking
the dark clouds
you left behind.
(Pause – 3 seconds. Glass clink echo, cello breathes in softly.)
The glass is empty.
But the sky still tastes like you.
Cue: Ambient piano harmonics swell gently (A–D minor)
⸻
1:25 – 1:40 | Instrumental Bridge I | Cello Solo I
Solo cello plays a trembling motif – yearning, slow bowing, 2 bars rest.
⸻
[1:40 – 2:25 | Verse 2 | Spoken, airy tone]_
I don’t dream.
But I find myself sleepwalking,
with you fading in the storm.
Butterflies of time…
each wing
a memory of your soul.
Cue: Add faint wind and rain texture. Subtle piano glissando (E–D).
⸻
[2:25 – 2:40 | Bridge – whispered]_
The thunder calls your name.
I turn —
but it’s only wind.
Cue: Whisper pan left-right, then fade; reverb trail 2 bars.
⸻
[2:40 – 3:30 | Verse 3 | Spoken-sung; rise in emotional intensity]_
I don’t cry.
But here I am,
in front of a mirror.
Your tears —
they fall through my reflection.
The fog,
the rain,
the wind —
they are you.
Everything.
Everywhere.
Cue: Cello sustains under “they are you”; add gentle rhythmic piano.
⸻
[3:30 – 4:00 | Chorus | Softly sung]_
I don’t want to drown in your ocean.
I don’t want to fall in your abyss.
I don’t want to cry.
I don’t want to cry.
(Echo: cry… cry… reverb tail to silence.)
Cue: Vocal layering with airy harmony on “cry…” (female falsetto pad).
⸻
[4:00 – 4:40 | Verse 4 | Spoken; grounded, protective imagery]_
My black bear crawls out of the cave.
My red fox curls beside my bed,
watching for my soul,
waiting
for your return.
Cue: Heartbeat drum (low tom, slow pulse). Warm ambient pad enters softly.
⸻
4:40 – 5:05 | Instrumental Solo II | Cello Lead
Solo cello reprises main motif; second voice enters on bowed glass.
Tone: elegiac, like memory returning through fog.
⸻
[5:05 – 5:40 | Verse 5 | Soft sung-spoken]_
And if only your soul
walked into my garden,
and kissed me on the cheek —
that would be enough.
That would be enough.
Cue: Piano harmonics shimmer; rainfall slowly increases in mix.
⸻
[5:40 – 6:05 | Refrain | Whispered / fading]_
Not you.
Not you.
Just a kiss.
Just a kiss.
Gently…
on the cheek.
Cue: Final vocal echoed with reversed piano tail.
⸻
[6:05 – 6:30 | Outro | Spoken reflection]_
(Long silence. Breath. Faint rain.)
I don’t drink.
I don’t dream.
I don’t cry.
But tonight,
I remember you —
in everything that falls from the sky.
Cue: Rain fades. Cello holds D note to silence.
Total runtime: 6’25”.
