With a delicate arrangement built around gentle acoustic guitar and subtle atmospheric textures, the song creates a warm yet melancholic soundscape. Dublin Rose’s vocals carry both strength and vulnerability, delivering each line with a quiet conviction that makes the emotions feel deeply personal and universal all at once.
