Theatrical Song Arc Principle: In musical theatre & dramatic songcraft, songs are not static loops. A verse establishes the protagonist's unresolved status quo; the chorus or 'I Want' section raises dramatic vulnerability, leading to a modulation or harmonic crisis that transforms the character.

Harmonic Palette Guide

Add9 & Sus2: Duncan Sheik's signature singer-songwriter acoustic voicing (e.g. Barely Breathing, Spring Awakening). Suspended color avoids generic major brightness, generating bittersweet theatrical yearning.

Modal Mixture (bVI, bVII): Shifts from introspection to expansive emotional epiphanies without conventional pop cadence cliches.

Tension Level: Controls synthesized string arrangement density and velocity intensity during audition.
