notes
An electric-piano-style keyboard part threads through the chord progression, played with a soft touch and light chorus. Consistent with the 1985-87 Revolution era setup (Fairlight CMI Series IIx, PPG Wave 2.2, Yamaha DX7, Oberheim Matrix-12), it functions as the harmonic glue of the arrangement.
