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.

I quite like the #bass part on this - feels almost baroque?

The lyrics here reference the chord progression used in the song - "4 7 3 6 2 5 1 to put my mind at ease" refer to the chords used in the song.
The lyrics immediately before this are "Someone wrote this song before, and I could tell you where it's from" - which makes sense, because they're the chords to Autumn Leaves, a well known jazz standard.
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.

the #synth#solo on this plays slightly outside in a way that shouldn't be too crazy to #transcribe
could be an easy starting point for trying to learn more harmonically adventurous solos
