| Rhythm | at bar 4, electric guitar plays a syncopated rhythm (semi-strummed) - hi-hat works with guitar to drive rhythm; 3rd guitar punctuate, playing on-beat |
| Rhythm | in 1st verse, e. guitar plays precise on-beat rhythm - contrast to syncopated intro |
| Metre | 12/8 |
| Structure | verse & chorus form |
| Structure | unusual intro of 7 bars (normally even to feel balanced) |
| Structure | intro is in 2 contrasting sections - one in Fminor, one in D major |

| Instrumentation/Timbre | drop D tuning on guitars |
| Instrumentation/Timbre | b.1-4 background guitar whisper - notes picked with low volume, then turned up and down quickly delay & reverb contribute to eerie mood |
| Instrumentation/Timbre | chorus: whispered backing vocals - double-tracking/overdubbing |
| Instrumentation/Timbre | string synth (faint) - more for SFX than for harmony |
| Texture | thin at beginning: unison guitars & distant synth; builds suspense before sudden texture change at b.3 |

| Harmony/Tonality | verse sounds modal - chromatic chord changes: F-Em-Eb (down a ST each time) |

| Harmony/Tonality | drone strings - harmonic richness |
