The song was released in 1995. 1 of 8 Tonality: The piece is primarily in C major. However, there are some passing modulations to A minor by a chord of E at bar 6. 2 of 8 Performance Forces and Handling The piece makes use of Melletron strings. A Melletron is a type of electronic keyboard which plays a pre-recorded sound when a key is pressed. The tambourine adds to the range of percussion used in the song. 3 of 8 Texture: The piece is in melody dominated homphony. The guitar licks in bars 7 and 10 create counterpoint. The strings play in octaves which thickens their melody. 4 of 8 Melody: The piece makes use of the pentatonic scale of C-D-E-G-A. The text setting is mainly syllabic, however in the first verse on the words "mind", "find" and "play" we hear hints of melisma. The vocal line can be described as both conjunct and disjunct. 5 of 8 Harmony: The piece mainly employs the use of root position triad chords. Overall, the piece is largely diatonic, apart from the use of the substitute chord of F minor. Some 7th chords are used, for example, an Fm7 at bar 13. There is also a G#dim chord at bar 64. The chords in the piece tend to change every two beats. 6 of 8 Rhythm: The rhythm of the song is a steady 4/4 time. There are drum fills at bar 5. And at bar 4 (just before the fills) there is an anacrusis in the drums. 7 of 8 Structure: Intro (bb1-4) Verse 1 (bb 5-12) Pre-chorus (bb 13-24) Chorus (bb 25-31) Link (bb 32-35) Verse 2 (Repeat of bb 5-12) Pre-chorus (Repeat of bb 13-24) Chorus ( Repeat of bb 25-28, followed by 29-32) Instrumental (bb 33-44) Chorus (bb 45-52) Chorus (bb 53-61) Coda (bb 62-65) 8 of 8
