If Trees Could Speak
Deep-space autonomous vessel, ultra-minimal electro-cinematic, 80-84 BPM, minor, no build, no drop, no drama. Steady low soft kick each beat, rim hit every 2 bars, no hi-hats. Constant sub-bass root with one subtle half-step dip every 8 bars (immediate return). Glassy electric piano 2-note motif only, no melody expansion. Thin cold pad barely audible. Very sparse beacon tone once every 16 bars, micro data-noise burst once only. Chorus must NOT add instruments, only slightly widen space. Narrow dynamics. Female vocal only, clean seiso, flat delivery, minimal vibrato, no melisma, no shout, no doubles (final chorus ultra-light double allowed). End unresolved with drone., trance, orchestral, electronic, dreamy

Lyrics
Whispering woods, a silent breath,
Echoes lost in shadowed depth.
[Verse 1]
If trees should fall where none can hear,
Do they dissolve, or still appear?
Pages writ with grief and fire,
Lines aflame with quiet desire.
Alive, they point beyond the veil,
From damp earth’s mold and leaf’s frail tale—
Not maize, nor smoke, nor melon’s hue,
But colors into sunsets flew,
Where broken promises cling to sky,
A high branch folds its lullaby.
[Chorus]
Will you find her in the wood?
The one who waits where no one stood.
If you can name the tree she’s grown,
You’ll know the truth, not yet known.
Time unfolds like autumn leaves,
In whispered song the forest grieves.
[Verse 2]
How does life flash swift and wide,
When time is past, no more to bide?
A book once closed, now held again,
Pages stained with love and pain.
Failed romances, shadows cast,
Mistakes that whisper from the past.
Through dormered light upon the barn,
You see the soul both soft and hard—
One at edge of wooded gloom,
Waiting in the twilight’s loom.
[Chorus]
Will you find her in the wood?
The one who waits where no one stood.
If you can name the tree she’s grown,
You’ll know the truth, not yet known.
Time unfolds like autumn leaves,
In whispered song the forest grieves.
[Bridge]
Silent sentinels keep their watch,
Beneath the moon’s cold, pale scotch.
No voice to break the haunted spell,
Yet stories rise where shadows fell.
A rapture, or a grief untold,
Lives between the bark and cold.
[Verse 3]
The shingles nailed on noon’s bright seam,
Reflect an empty, fleeting dream.
Leaves come and go, a fragile flight,
Emptiness held in fading light.
So search among the living lines,
For she who waits beyond confines.
If you can see her ancient name,
The forest’s heart will burn like flame.
[Chorus]
Will you find her in the wood?
The one who waits where no one stood.
If you can name the tree she’s grown,
You’ll know the truth, not yet known.
Time unfolds like autumn leaves,
In whispered song the forest grieves.
[Outro]
Whispering woods, a silent breath,
Echoes lost in shadowed death.
