Soft ambient textures with solo violin lead. Clean-tone electric guitar plays delayed arpeggios, very slow and emotional. No drums. Let it feel like waking up from a memory. Piano softly pulses in high register. Tempo ~70 bpm.
Mood: nostalgic, fragile, healing from a past wound.

Begin layering string section: cello and viola hum underneath the violin. Guitar melody stays slow, looped and lyrical. Let dynamics gently swell. Introduce faint sub bass. Still no drums yet.
Mood: intimate, remembering, quietly hopeful.

Introduce soft lo-fi drums with rimshot snare. Delay-heavy rhythm guitar adds motion. Violin ascends. Layers increase in volume but still restrained. Cymbals shimmer like distant waves.
Mood: awakening, something inside starting to bloom.

Full post-rock crescendo. Guitar distortion rises like waves crashing. Violin cries long melodic lines. Drums intensify with cymbal crashes. Add tremolo strings underneath. Keep melody simple but deeply emotional.
Mood: catharsis, release, “I survived”, rebirth from pain.

Let everything drop out except clean guitar and solo violin. Bring back ambient textures. Final piano notes echo like soft rain. Let the piece resolve in major key to convey peace and quiet joy.
Mood: clarity, renewal, sunrise after storm.
