Roof Under Us

Country-soul ballad with steady mid-tempo pulse, fingerpicked acoustic guitar, warm bass, brushed drums, and subtle piano answers; verse stays intimate and sparse, pre-chorus lifts with stacked harmonies, chorus opens with fuller drums and a singable group refrain. Lead vocal is close-mic and cracked with emotion, with doubled hook lines and gentle ad-libs. Soft string swell into the last chorus, roomy but polished mix with a warm low end and bright top.
