> PRODUCTION + ARRANGEMENT
==============================================

- Interestingly, the hi-hats are panned to the *right*, not the left

- I don't know how this has such a fuzzy, distorted, and compressed sound while also not being overly blistering and unpleasant. If I wanted to explore this song further, I could look into whatever wizardry conjured that

- I'm editing this document over a month after originally publishing it to point out the harmony vocals! Don't know how I could've missed that. [TROPE: Harmony Vocals]

> SONGWRITING
==============================================

* The intro lasts for 4 measures, with the drums dropping off around halfway through the 4th measure [TROPE: Drums Drop Out]

- When the verse officially starts, the drums play a more 'normal' part

- Those little bass licks at ~0:15, ~0:54, ~2:17

* When the drummer is doing the hi-hats thing, he's also doing a fill with the Toms (?)

- The snare has more reverb during the chorus, I think. Or if not, it at least hits harder

* On the last measure of the chorus at ~0:48, the drummer plays 8 kicks as eighths [TROPE: 8 Kick]

- The drums during the 2nd verse are more busy

- There's a new guitar part for the 2nd chorus

* Before the final chord, there are 4 measures harping on the same chord. The song is bookended with this [TROPE: Bookends]

- "We go together like the gum on my shoes" is an unusual lyric, but it works, and it's memorable
