Indie folk-R&B ballad with a slow swung pulse, fingerpicked guitar and intimate cello bed; verse stays sparse with close-mic vocal and soft harmonic doubles, pre-chorus opens with brushed percussion and rising cello notes, chorus blooms into stacked R&B harmonies and a warm sub bass under the hook. Use tape hiss, reversed string swells, and a chime lift before each chorus. Mix is warm, glossy, and heartbreak-close., nostalgic, r&b, indie folk, cello, sad
