Quiet Storm
The storm is quiet; the feelings are not.
Quiet Storm is a style from the Asphalt and Diamonds family. 72 BPM, Weirdness 16, Style Influence 88.
The midnight radio made into a genre: saxophone, whisper, and a storm that never raises its voice.

Sample excerpt
Rain on the window, radio turned way down, the kind of hour when nobody performs. You take your earrings off and everything gets honest, and I've been waiting all week for this exact calm.
Stay a little longer, let the storm be quiet, let the world keep going without us tonight. I'm not asking you to promise me a lifetime, just this hour, and this light.
Workshop note — Second person, present, intimate. Quiet storm is sung close to the mic, so write words with soft consonants and long vowels. At 72 BPM two lines can fill four bars without hurrying.
