Rising Tide
Indie folk-pop track in G major at 84 BPM. The arrangement features a fingerpicked acoustic guitar playing a steady eighth-note pattern. A clean electric guitar provides melodic fills with light chorus and delay. The bass guitar plays melodic, walking lines that emphasize the root and fifth. Percussion consists of a soft kick drum on beats 1 and 3, with a tambourine accenting the backbeat. Mid-range male vocals are delivered with a breathy, intimate tone, occasionally layering into two-part harmonies during the chorus. A bridge section features a blues-influenced electric guitar solo with a slightly overdriven tone and expressive string bends. The track maintains a consistent 4/4 time signature with a relaxed, behind-the-beat rhythmic feel.

Lyrics
[fingerpicked acoustic guitar, melodic clean electric guitar fills]
[Verse 1]
[breathy male vocals]
I saw the light across the water [soft kick drum enters]
Shining like a question mark
It needed all my protection
The night, the darkness guide
[Chorus]
[bass guitar enters, tambourine on backbeat]
Oh, the river runs deep and wide
With nowhere left for me to hide
I'm drifted on the rising tide [vocal harmony enters]
On the rising tide
[Instrumental Break]
[bluesy electric guitar solo with string bends and vibrato]
[Verse 2]
I saw the light across the water
Shining like a question mark
It needed all my attention
The darkness fell down on its knees
[Chorus]
[full arrangement with steady kick and tambourine]
Oh, the river runs deep and wide
With nowhere left for me to hide
I'm drifted on the rising tide [vocal harmony]
On the rising tide
[Outro]
[electric guitar melody fades, acoustic guitar continues fingerpicking pattern]
[vocal ad-libs] (On the rising tide)
[music fades out]
