I love that song. It’s about anticipation, and the music almost maddeningly avoids resolving anywhere. The drum pattern goes in captivating circles, and there are no cymbals, no big crashing escape or finale. I’m not even sure there’s a snare drum in there, which would give a feeling of progress. The melody also circles, and the cellos support the holding pattern. It’s amazing, delightful, astonishing, and frustrating in that way when you’re cheering for your favourite character in a book to do something, and the author is making you wait. And it sounds like a pop hit. Love love love it.
