Prompt
Verse:
Kick Drum: Use a kick loop like "Deep Kick" or "Sub Boom" on the downbeat. Place it every 4 beats for that slow, heartbeat-like rhythm.
Snare Drum: Use a snare hit loop with a soft snap. Place it on beat 2 and 4 of each measure to give the song a laid-back but steady rhythm.
Hi-hat (optional): Use light hi-hats or shakers — soft, with light tapping every 2nd or 4th beat.
Chorus:
Increase the intensity of the hi-hats. Try a high hat loop with a lot of energy — layer it with claps for extra punch.
Snare Drum: Make the snare sound bigger, with more layers or a snappy, punchy snare sample to give it a driving energy.
Search for a sub-bass loop (a deep, rumbling bass) that’s slow and atmospheric, like "Moody Sub Bass" or "Slick Bassline".
Layer a bass melody following the notes C, D, E, G (or similar) to create a melancholic, grounding feel.
Melodic Elements:
Verse: Add a soft piano, synth pad, or guitar loop. Keep the melody slow, reflective, and not too busy — think spaced-out intervals with long pauses.
Chorus: Use a higher lead instrument, like strings or electric guitar. Layer it with some vocals or vocal chops to add emotion and depth.Build the Bridge
The bridge needs to be intimate and stripped down, focusing on vulnerability:
Stripped Drum Beat: Reduce the drums to just the kick drum or light snare with no hi-hats, keeping the rhythm low and almost nonexistent.
Simple Melody: You can add a piano or guitar loop in a higher octave to give the bridge space to breathe.
