Tempo: 60 BPM. Turkish Arabesque Psychedelic Folk Music. Time signature: 4/4 (but the feeling is like an eighth note, slow and hesitant) Tone/Mode: Main suggestion: Hicaz (La Hicaz) → the most classic arabesque melancholic tone Alternative: Uşşak (more heartfelt, more "ruined" tone) Instrumentation Violin (leading role) → mournful melodies Oud / Bağlama → underlying texture Bağlama (soft) → fills in chords Pad (background) → expands emotion Optional: Ney (especially intro & bridge) This rhythm is very "familiar" and striking for arabesque music. The E major (dominant) note especially stretches the pain and explodes into the chorus. Very simple kick + rimshot/snare. Occasional light darbuka touches (especially in transitions). The hi-hat is very minimal (or nonexistent). Full instrumentation Orchestral Violin + pad + drums are more powerful The most striking lyrics are here Vocal is a little higher and more shaky
