Xiantian Path

Dao-inspired folk-pop ballad with male vocals, slow-to-mid tempo and measured pulse; verse rides sparse plucked strings and soft hand percussion, pre-chorus opens with rising drone and breathy harmony, chorus blooms with stacked oohs and a soaring melodic lift. Vocal is close-mic and earnest with doubled choruses, gentle ad-lib echoes, and a few whispered phrase tails. Ear candy includes bamboo chime turns, a reversed swell into each chorus, and a subtle gong wash on transitions. Wide, clean, and luminous mix with earthy warmth., harmony
