Mist and Heather
Folk rock with Celtic influences. Features a bright acoustic guitar strumming eighth-note patterns, a melodic electric bass, and a standard drum kit with prominent crash cymbals. A male lead vocal with a slight rasp is layered with clean vocal harmonies during the chorus. A distorted electric guitar provides power chord accents and a melodic lead line. A tin whistle or high flute performs a folk-inspired melody during the instrumental break. The tempo is 120 BPM in 4/4 time. The arrangement builds from an acoustic-driven verse to a full-band rock chorus with layered textures.

Lyrics
Intro
Acoustic guitar chords, melodic bass joins in
Verse 1
Male vocals
My spirit's tied to the green glens
If I stay here, I just pretend
You never knew me anyways
Through the valleys, through the rain
I taste the mist, the heather's bloom
In the evening breeze, a melody drifts through
The twilight [drums join in with a fill]
Chorus
whole band, rock rhythm section, background vocal harmonies
In ancient tales, in twilight's hue
Where ancestors whispered and shooting stars flew
The loch reflects my empty gaze
I still walk alone at night, not a soul in sight
The wind carries me somewhere beyond
Across fields I’ve never known
My destiny still awaits
Don’t leave me here alone
Instrumental Break
tin whistle solo, distorted electric guitar chords
double-time drum beat, heavy crash cymbals
Verse 2
only acoustic guitar and bass
In the silence of the night
Embraced by mist and heather
You’ll find me sleeping
Trapped in a dream
By standing stones, beneath the sky
Under the starfield’s light
drums come back in
Hey! Ho! [shouts]
Outro
tin whistle main melody, whole band builds to a close
final cymbal crash
