Gentle fusion of Southern Vietnamese folk colors and Middle Eastern modal lines; nylon-string guitar picking in a slow, swaying groove with light frame drum pulses and subtle hand percussion. Male vocals warm and intimate, verses nearly whispered; chorus blooms with long, aching melismas and soft call-and-response hums. Sparse drone-like strings enter in the bridge to deepen the longing, then everything tapers back to just voice and guitar for the final refrain.
