Mood: Darker, slower, more mysterious. A fingerpicked, minor-key guitar progression; A cello or bowed double bass provides a droning undertone;  No percussion, The tempo is a slow, rubato drift (like a music box winding down). The guitar itself provides a hesitant, pulsing rhythm. Bass & Drone: A cello or double bass played with a bow, providing a deep, sustained, and mournful drone throughout, holding down the root notes of the chords. Lead Melody: The vocal melody is the lead. The 12-string guitar provides a counter-melody with its arpeggios. Additional Colour: The faint sound of chimes or a music box (very low in the mix) during the instrumental breaks. Absolutely no piano or harmonica, Vocal Performance: Close-mic'd, dry, and whispered-sung. The delivery is quiet, hypnotic, and unsettling, like someone sharing a secret. A clear, almost theatrical enunciation, No accent; this is an interior voice. Backing Vocals: None, Only a faint, single-layer double-track of the lead vocal
