Intro
[Lead vocal with backing trio of female voices echoing and layering "Treasures" softly]
Treasures
Treasures
Treasures
Verse 1
[Lead vocal soft and breathy. Lead vocal is sung by two female voices in unison, one an octave below the other]
Deep in my beginning,
Lies secret treasure far below,
Buried since time began,
Beauty hasn't learned to glow.
Forged in fault lines, cut by flame,
Crushed and carved by nature's dream,
Unknown forces made me
Made in darkness to shine and gleam.
Chorus
[Full vocal arrangement: lead vocal is sung by two female voices in unison, one an octave below the other, rising in intensity. Backing trio of female alto and soprano harmonises richly throughout]
Silence made me, (made me),
Shadows shaped me (shaped me),
In places set apart
In every human heart
Treasures (treasures) of the dark (of the dark)
[Lead vocal with backing trio of female voices echoing and layering "Treasures" softly]
Treasures

Treasures
Treasures of the dark
Verse 2
[Lead vocal soft and breathy. Lead vocal is sung by two female voices in unison, one an octave below the other]
I've walked through the valley of grief
Heart split by the hammer's blow
Pressure shaped me while I cracked
Softness breaking restoring my flow
I've seen stardust fall like raindrops,
Heard the Earth's cry of pain
Treasures don't thirst for daylight
They have no thoughts of rain
Bridge
[Bridge vocal: Very slow section. Whispered, soft and breathy, Lead vocal is sung by two female voices in unison, one an octave below the other, accompanied by solo electric piano only]
These are jewels made in darkness,
The kind you thought you'd never bear.
Treasures of the dark are precious,
Never chosen but still ours to wear
[solo]

ESSENTIAL: Vocal must feature a British English accent, Lead vocal is light, breathy, hesitant, whispered, mid-range, backing vocal adds beautiful harmonies and melodic supporting lines. Vocal harmonies throughout by a trio of backing singers: female alto, mezzo-soprano and soprano.
A distinct uplift in energy from the verse to the chorus.
Bridge is quiet and whispered.

Electric guitar playing jazz inspired clean licks.
Drums are simple, minimal, dry, and intimate-no reverb, echo, rattle, or hi-hat. Towels on drums, cushion in bass drum.

Rare, resilient, and unfair

In every human heart
Are Treasures of the dark

Verse 1
Deep in my beginning silence

Buried since time began

Forged in fault lines, cut by flame
Crushed and carved by nature's dream
Unknown forces made me
Made in darkness to shine and gleam

Treasures don't thirst for daylight
Earth's heartbeat their only sound
Forged beneath the weight of silence
Riches waiting to be found
Chorus
Silence made me, shadows shaped me
In places set apart In every human heart
Treasures of the dark
Bridge
Through the veil of tears
In all our hopes and fears
All our treasure hears
Is music of the spheres
Verse 2
I've walked through the valley of grief
Had my heart split by the hammer's blow
Pressure shaped me while I cracked
Softness breaking restoring my flow
So know me with intention
Dig where fault lines start to sing
You'll find grace in the broken
And mercy with love to bring
Pre-Chorus
Treasures don't thirst for daylight
Earth's heartbeat their only sound
Forged beneath the weight of silence
Riches waiting to be found
Chorus
Silence made me, shadows shaped me
In places set apart In every human heart

A melancholic dream-folk ballad about hidden resilience, Whispered female vocals over fingerpicked acoustic guitar and soft ambient textures-wind chimes, distant harmonium, reverb-soaked field recordings, Lyrics evoke fireflies, forgotten names, and light blooming from darkness, Style inspired by Vashti Bunyan, early Iron & Wine, and ambient Appalachian lullabies, Tempo: slow and flowing, Mood: tender, glimmering, wistful, It should sound like very beautiful music sung in a chapel
