Carry Me Quietly
pora doru
male vocals
emotional
acoustic
folk
electric
steady
deep
Warm
Layered fingerpicked acoustics with one central strumming guitar
soft electric swells
deep round bass and understated percussion. Male vocals close and husky
almost spoken in the verses
opening in the chorus with double-tracked harmonies and gentle oohs. The arrangement leans on repetition and space
slowly adding shaker
low pads
and a high guitar motif; a late subtle rise in dynamics
then pulling back to a fragile
intimate outro.

Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Coffee gone cold on the table
Steam left an echo in the air
You said you’re "fine" but your hands were shaking
Like every word was a weight to bear
[Chorus]
Carry me quietly
Hold what I can’t hold for me
Say it’s alright
Even if it’s not tonight
I don’t need saving
Just stay when I come apart
Carry me quietly
With your loud
Loud heart
[Verse 2]
You trace the cracks in the drywall
Name every storm that we’ve survived
I laugh a little too hard at nothing
Scared of the silence between your eyes
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
[low vocal register] If I break
Then let me break here
On your shoulder
Not the floor
[soft harmonies] If I shake
Then let me shake near
Where I’ve never felt this sure before
[Chorus]
Coffee gone cold on the table
Steam left an echo in the air
You said you’re "fine" but your hands were shaking
Like every word was a weight to bear
[Chorus]
Carry me quietly
Hold what I can’t hold for me
Say it’s alright
Even if it’s not tonight
I don’t need saving
Just stay when I come apart
Carry me quietly
With your loud
Loud heart
[Verse 2]
You trace the cracks in the drywall
Name every storm that we’ve survived
I laugh a little too hard at nothing
Scared of the silence between your eyes
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
[low vocal register] If I break
Then let me break here
On your shoulder
Not the floor
[soft harmonies] If I shake
Then let me shake near
Where I’ve never felt this sure before
[Chorus]
