Listen to how the bass and drums cut out at the climax of the solo, it's incredible
Only here do the drums break into a standard rock beat. The bass begins to play root notes. Finally breaking into a rock rhythm creates this triumphant feeling, fitting after such a long buildup.
Here the song enters a bridge like section, the chords change slightly, a flute enters with a new melody, the bass begins to play more traditionally, and some light percussion begins, mostly cymbals.
This song's structure is quite interesting - the chords don't change at all throughout the song, save for some slight deviations in the middle.
For the first half of the song, there aren't any drums, and the #bass plays quite melodically - in a higher range, and it doesn't outline the root notes very strictly.
This is simply one of my favorite songs of all time, it fills me with feelings of peace and tranquility, but also a feeling of yearning and sadness. It's bittersweet.
I listened to this song a lot sitting in the #parking-garage in my college town - some of my fondest memories from the pandemic
The vocal hook on this (in #chinese ) goes incredibly, incredibly hard
还不够 还不够 还不够 还不够 (still not enough, still not enough, still not enough)
has a bit of a spoken word poetry feel to it!
The solo on this song is entirely carried by the rhythm section - the guitar part itself is actually quite simple. Listen to how the everything cuts out in the middle of the solo to emphasize the climax.
It's also quite melodic! There's very little shredding.
I love the #melody of this song
