Bittersweet Devotion
dance, Floating deep-house / trance crossover at 124 BPM, lush solo piano intro with left-hand chord pulses and soft tape saturation. Male vocals start intimate and close, then build into EDM-style lifted choruses with layered harmonies and wide stereo string pads. Subby sidechained low-end supports a four-on-the-floor groove that edges into dubstep-influenced fills and Goa-influenced arps. Reverb is smooth plate on the vocal, mix stays clean and airy, ending in a fragile piano-and-voice outro with the pads barely murmuring underneath., edm, pop, trance, clean, dubstep, deep house, male vocals

Lyrics
Intro
Piano in the dark
One key at a time
Your name on my tongue
Though you’re not mine
Verse 1
Hands on the wheel
Empty road, late drive
Your sweater on the seat
Like you’re still by my side
I talk to the glass
Fogging up with my breath
Ask you little questions
You never answer
Chorus
This is my bittersweet devotion
Running in slow motion to you
Every step closer is broken
But I still keep hoping for you
I give you every quiet moment
All the words I never spoke then
This aching, sacred, shameless ocean
My bittersweet devotion to you
Verse 2
We meet in my mind
Same café, same chair
You smile, stir your drink
I trace the veins in your hand
Your laughter feels close
Like it could heal my chest
But you’re just a shadow
In a place I invent
Chorus
This is my bittersweet devotion
Running in slow motion to you
Every step closer is broken
But I still keep hoping for you
I give you every quiet moment
All the words I never spoke then
This aching, sacred, shameless ocean
My bittersweet devotion to you
Bridge
If loving you is losing
I’ll lose a little more (oh)
Fold every small illusion
And lay it at your door
Fragile Outro
Piano in the dark
Both hands barely move
Your name in a whisper
Then I let it loose
I turn from the glass
Streetlights fade from view
I keep my quiet promise
To still believe in you
