notes
A monophonic detuned-saw lead with a light glide between phrases gives the hook a slightly siren-like, futuristic slide, matching the song's parachute-and-city staging. A moderate filter-envelope brightening on each phrase and a bright plate reverb keep it forward and synthetic against the live rhythm section.
