Snow, frost on a window and roses in the yard answer each other across a sheet of paper. A Mandarin ballad with Celtic colouring finds affection in what the letters leave unsaid.

Even if it is slow, I can wait.
Mandarin · Celtic-coloured ballad · tin whistle, fiddle and bouzouki · 76 BPM creative direction
A letter from the north takes a month, yet every one arrives. It describes deep snow, frost on the window and thin soup in the canteen, but never says whether its writer misses home. Ordinary details make the distance tangible.
The reply describes the weather and roses in the yard. Three pages are written, then crossed out, until only “take care” remains. The bridge trusts some words to travel through paper on their own. The final refrain turns the delay into a willingness to wait.
The creative direction is a slow, major-key ballad at 76 BPM. Tin whistle, fiddle, bouzouki and bodhran answer the Mandarin lead, with drums and strings joining before a final key lift. The broad arrangement unfolds around plain sentences instead of inflating their story.
