- distant distorted ambience, slightly left
- shaky acst gtr plucking (dbled), vox is dry
- chorus; piano thumping and low drums (no cymbals)
- melodic, in contrast to other tracks
- simple 1 2 3 4 beat
- 2nd verse ends with riff fading out under vox
- 2nd chorus: vibrato elc gtr, one note riff – becomes low note/chord
- big climax: heavy gtrs
- final chord sustains, feedback and distortion sustained (looped?) for a long time
- ends with subtle static
KEY IDEAS to plunder
- one note riff – simple beat 1234 – changes texture (ie., becomes low note/chord)
- loop final note/chord and sustain for a long time
