When You Were Us
STYE1275 · When You Were Us · Yair Albeg Wein
2:28·107 bpm·D·3 versions
Cinematic, AlternativeAtmospheric, Bittersweet, Chill

The title cue, slower at 107bpm in D major, with electric and acoustic guitars layered over pads, synth textures and atmospheric SFX for a post-rock nostalgia. It's the most cinematic and least folk-leaning track on the record, aimed at looking back on a relationship or a place that no longer exists.

Stray
STYE1275 · When You Were Us · Yair Albeg Wein
2:06·120 bpm·Gm·3 versions
Cinematic, AlternativeAtmospheric, Bittersweet, Chill

The most rhythmically restless cue here: nylon-flavoured acoustic and baritone guitar with a flamenco lean, driven by brushed percussion, bass and light synth pads at 120bpm in G minor. Short at just over two minutes, it stays moody and unsettled rather than triumphant, suiting footage of movement without a destination.

STYE1275 · When You Were Us · Yair Albeg Wein
2:50·94 bpm·C·3 versions
Cinematic, AlternativeAtmospheric, Bittersweet, Chill

The slowest and warmest cue at 94bpm in C major, where ukulele and acoustic guitar sit over keys, pads and a soft drum and percussion bed. Its unhurried folk gait and near three-minute length make it the natural choice for arrival, homecoming and family footage.

Shared Solitude
STYE1275 · When You Were Us · Yair Albeg Wein
2:52·116 bpm·Bm·4 versions
Cinematic, AlternativeAtmospheric, Bittersweet, Chill

The longest and fullest arrangement on the album: B minor shoegaze-folk at 116bpm with acoustic and electric guitars, strings, keys, synth pads and wordless vocals. The minor key keeps it melancholy while the string and vocal layers push toward a lifted final section, good for solitude that turns into connection.

Things Unsaid
STYE1275 · When You Were Us · Yair Albeg Wein
2:28·120 bpm·E·4 versions
Cinematic, AlternativeAtmospheric, Bittersweet, Chill

Shoegaze-tinted indie folk in bright E major, pairing acoustic guitar with hazy electric guitar, keys and wordless background vocals over a steady 120bpm pulse. The title's held-back confession is matched by a bittersweet, reverb-washed warmth that builds gently across two and a half minutes.
