Empty Chair at the Table

[Instrumental]

rock, Slow-building modern rock ballad with male vocals; clean picked guitars under the verses, blooming into wide distorted power chords and crashing cymbals on the chorus. Bass stays warm and steady, drums start sparse then drive harder each hook. Subtle piano doubles key lines in the chorus; final refrain strips down to vocal, guitar, and a single tom pattern for a raw, aching close.
