shut up and listen

• ac gtr picking
  harmony and rhythm set on the one instrument; ac gtr
• soft kik (or  gtr body thump) on beat
• low vox
• keys flourish after 1st verse
• 2nd verse: vox and occasional one note or one chord keys on the 1s
• keys flourish again after vox
• last line of verses repeated
• chorus: key chords on the 1s, otherwise the same as verses
  same chords and melody
• keys solo/flourish til end
• a sort of fade until gtr stops and keys give final flourish

KEY IDEAS to plunder

1. harmony and rhythm set on the one instrument; ac gtr
2. chorus: key chords on the 1s, otherwise the same as verses
   same chords and melody
   ie. accent instrument in between verses and reinforcement in choruses

• distorted elc gtr riff + drums (toms, no metal) + handclaps and thigh slaps
• reminds me of radiohead’s ‘there, there’
• vox, distorted, doubled with keys
• bass?
• chorus: switches to steady beat with tambourine
  melody: keys + vox  – call and response
• 2nd verse: as above but with organ
• 2nd chorus: ends with extended with instrumental section
• background children / crowd as solo
• bvs: low ‘ohs”
• lead vox: closer, doubled with keys – new melody
• and back into chorus melody but this time with wordless singing and doubled with keys
• slow down ending

KEY IDEAS to plunder

1. chorus: switches from funky to steady beat
2. background children / crowd as solo

• opens with melody on elc gtr
• 1st note repeated before launching into melody
• rapid piano hammering
• bass jolts + hand claps + vox
• lead gtr melody / riff repeats
• piano tumbles / flams
• chorus: multipart vox ‘with love’
• multiple vox parts overlap;
  solo vox: ‘love will find you out’
  triple male vox: ‘as anybody with a kind word’
  choir: ‘with love’
• ends with single piano chord

KEY IDEAS to plunder

1. 1st note repeated before launching into melody
2. multiple vox parts overlap

• quiet string or organ drone intro
• piano or keys playing steady 3/4 beat, incorporating the melody into the rhythm
• distant whistling – warehouse sound
• bass
• vox enters – first line repeated
• chorus: bvs, hums + strings + bass + picking elc gtr + carnivalesque key arpeggios
• vox line: ‘build a rocket boys!’ – sung low then high
• back to verse instrumentation
• structure: verse, chorus – repeat, then end with piano solo over verse instrumentation
• bass drops out before final returning for piano solo
• only steady piano left before it fades out

KEY IDEAS to plunder

1. piano or keys playing steady every beat, incorporating the melody into the rhythm
2. chorus: bvs, hums

• rattling percussion intro
• drums, high bass and elc gtrs enter
• 2 gtrs hard panned; left = melody, right = rhythm on the 1234
• low bass comes in with vox
• vox; hi and low together (hi is verbed and distant)
• pause between verses; only drums and right gtr remain
• second pause after 2nd verse; ‘ooh’ vox and bass double and other inst?
• middle: new bass / beat + elc key line (r2d2 ish) + strings
• new vox melody – multi part
• back to prev melody – with big strings
• then both melodies combine as vox / overlapping
• end with melody only and minimal perc

KEY IDEAS to plunder

1. 2 gtrs hard panned; left = melody, right = rhythm on the 1234
2. low bass comes in with vox
