K: Amin T: 80 BPM TS: 4/4 INST: AcousticGuitar, LeadVocal (raw/lo‑fi), Upright/ElectricBass (sparse), HandPercussion/Tambourine, Lo‑fiElectricGuitar or Organ (atmospheric), Harmonica (optional) Mood: Eerie, unsettling, paranoid, melancholic, raw/outsider Structure: Strophic Verse–Refrain (Verse → Chorus/refrain → Verse), with an optional chant-like Bridge Summary: An unpublished song attributed to Charles Manson would plausibly sit in a stripped-down, late‑60s folk/outsider‑folk idiom: A minor, slow-to-moderate tempo (around 70–90 BPM) and standard 4/4 lend a dirge‑like, singable quality. Instrumentation should be sparse — predominantly strummed or picked acoustic guitar and a raw, nasal lead vocal, supported by a simple bass and minimal hand percussion; occasional lo‑fi electric guitar or organ and harmonica can add eerie texture. The form is typically repetitive and mantra‑like (strophic Verse→Refrain), with a short chanty bridge or vocal layering for emphasis rather than complex development. Simple minor‑key progressions (e.g., Am–G–F or Am–C–G) and lo‑fi production will reinforce the unsettling, minimal vibe.
