notes
The song's spacey, drifting synth arpeggio in the intro and instrumental sections gives the record its cosmic, floating character, a rare synth-forward moment for a rock hit of the year; a slow cutoff LFO underpins that drift. The exact synth model is not confirmed publicly; reconstructed by ear.
