Narration sentence highlighting is idle.
Light acoustic guitar strums in alone, bright and even.
A clear midrange voice steps in over the same strum, close and unforced.
Stacked backing voices jump in on the hook, bright and tight over the guitar.
The stack drops away. Solo voice and guitar thin the field again.
Harmonies return in a bright cluster, filling the middle while the strum stays light.
Backing pulls off. The lead sits alone again on the acoustic bed.
The bright stack snaps back in, same lift, same light percussion edge.
Harmony clears out once more. Voice and guitar ride the pocket bare.
Full backing returns for the last pass, voices stacked tight over the strum.
A soft laugh breaks the line, then the guitar thins and decays into quiet.
