| Dynamics | Dynamics drop in v. 7, creating intimate vocal sound. Contrasted by full texture in v.8 making dynamics louder overall. |
| Dynamics | gradually fades out at end |
| Rhythm/Metre | 12/8, but ambiguous metre to begin with: hi-hat suggests 3/4 (simple) bass in 12/8 (compound) Bouzouki & Wurlitzer combined suggesting 6/8 (compound) |
| Rhythm/Metre | at b.25, the sense of 12/8 is reinforced by bass drum/snare playing on each dotted crotchet beat bass guitar also reinforces 12/8 |
| Structure | strophic verse structure (AAA) with a short refrain at the end of each verse |
| Structure | Vocal line 'call and response' - alternates between 4 melodic phrases (each 1 bar). Call always in Gaelic & refrain (the response) in vocables. |
| Melody | vocal melody uses small no. of notes, using the pentatonic scale - this creates a modal sound |

| Texture | in intro, there's a layered texture, with 2-part counterpoint between the Wurlitzer and Bouzouki |
| Texture | 'NC' = no chords; acc. drops out, creating a monophonic texture for 1 bar Acts as a link between opening section & next section, and prepares for change in chord pattern. |
| Harmony/Tonality | E minor/G major - begins with an Em cluster chord |
| Harmony/Tonality | Sounds modal - no use of B chord (dominant of Em) or D chord (when piece sounds like it's in Gmaj) |
| Harmony/Tonality | in outro, it alternates between G and C chord - series of plagal cadences in Gmaj |
| Harmony/Tonality | overall, it is entirely diatonic |
