- notes
- The chorus hook is a bright DX7 FM lead doubled with a Poly-800 saw for extra weight, a common layering trick to fatten a thin FM tone in Finland's Eurovision-era productions. A light sine vibrato and a plate-reverb tail give it the glossy 1986 Europop sheen; the arrangement leans on this synth hook rather than a guitar line.
