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
Intro
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
