notes
A sustained pad wash sits under "(Can I) Find the Right Words (To Say)", built from Fairlight CMI stabs and Synclavier textures over Oberheim pad washes. Synclavier pads support this Destri ballad's chorus. Confidence is inferred from the band's documented gear for this era rather than a measured session sheet.
