How many candles burns? For you Shiba!
Minimalistic haunting piano-driven ballad with emotional female lead. Verses are soft, airy, and ethereal with sparse piano, delicate acoustic guitar, and subtle string pads. Choruses feature soaring, almost crying, full-power female vocals with dramatic layered backing vocals and expressive piano/string swells. Instrumental breaks provide breathing space and emphasize dynamics. Intro and outro remain minimal and atmospheric. Wide stereo, natural reverb, intimate dynamics, evoking sorrow, longing, and fragile hope. High fidelity, immersive soundstage, optional gentle bass warmth.
