shut up and listen

• low vox – doubled
• electric guitar lick – mirrored by strings
• shuffling snare beat intro
• finger picking acoustic chorus, drums drop out
• intro/v1 – ch – intro/v2 – ch – outro

KEY IDEAS to plunder

1. shuffling snare beat intro

• horns!
• the beat is a variation of the ‘Games For Days’ beat – snr on the 2 3 4
• simple lyric, variations on a line
  “I see your face and I let you own me
  I see your face and I let you unwind
  I see your face and I let you own me
  I feel you shaking, know a pleasure of my design
  I see your face and I let you own me
  I cant replace you, wanna give us another try?
  I see your face and I let you own me
  I feel you shake, I won’t let you unwind”
• I – V – IV – IIm (IIIm passing)- no changes (some variation in the middle 8 )
• arrangement creates shape – crunching guitars, thumping drums and horns to begin, bass and choral vox only in change
• vox – start with whispered/tremelo double for the ‘verse’, chrous vox  standard double, middle 8 harmonies + whispered

KEY IDEAS to plunder

1. soft and loud dynamics, density and sparseness – lyric repetition/single chord progression
2. switching of doubling vox effects

• picking clean elect guitar, vox joins
• bass root notes (double bass)
• lyric “you can live your whole life in a cave, man”

KEY IDEAS to plunder

1. “living in a cave, man” – name calling puns ie, honey, honey. sugar, sugar. tea, bag.

• piano chord stabs, vox joins (doubled)
• strings join
• spoken word sample, large spoken sections + small, melodic sample
• single melody/lyric line “come have at us, we are strong”
• ‘hearbeat’ loop joins after vox

• the beat – (kik) and 1 and (snr) 2 3 4
• verse chords: VIm – IIm
• chorus chords: VIm – IV – I – III7
• crunching guitars, punchy drums
