- lyric double meaning by being homophones “how forlorn to watch you go / how full on to watch you grow”
- begins with vox, joined by single chord pad
- little insert of popping edited processed high vocal
- low harmony vox joins
- unexpected backing enters. beat with low bass, organ pads and pop edit vox loop
- fast electronic woodblock is a feature of the beat
- pop edit vox loop changes chord and back again (pitch shift without tempo shift)
- ‘chorus’ vox sounds pitch shifted up (live performances feature another vocalist for this part – presumably to recreate this pitch shifted timbre)
- breakdown section: low bas + vox, then organ pads + vox, then opo edit vox loop solo
- all returns for second half, repeats first main section
- ends with solo vox loop
KEY IDEAS to plunder
- popping edit loop, changing chord, as backbone of song
- double meaning homophones
