- gospel style
- lyric: 4 lines repeated 4 times
- harmonies: different phrasings/different lyrics (slightly)
- 1st section: vox and organ, harmonies join later
- 2nd section: organ drops out, deep bass line. all vox harmonies
- very hissy – overdub artefact? hiss becomes musical texture, pops on and off
- 3rd section: vox only
- short electronic melody at end
KEY IDEAS to plunder
- harmonies with slight differences – reminiscent of queen’s ‘somebody to love’
- hiss/overdub artefact as deliberate texture
