- 1st listen
some soft but powerfully melodic guitar introduces the song, followed by piano, drums and bass.
The opening lyrics are joined by harmonies from the other band members.
The lead line of the vocal really works well with the piano part, while the guitars create a sweet tonal foundation
After each verse, the piano takes over with the repeated lead line ostinato which makes up the main part of the vocal hook line.
a short break around 2:02 creates a dynamic sense of variation.
After this, Amy Montgomery takes over the lead line vocals. She has a strong voice and a low tone that is somewhat harsh and raspy, but very nice to listen to. That might seem like a strange description, but it is a detail similar to the lead singer of Avenged Sevenfold.
Around 3:50 there is a section which repeats the line "you're set in your ways", and this is decorated by a guitar melodic riff.
Overall this is a very beautiful song.
It is based mostly upon a major key, but it is progressively rich and emotional.
I'm gonna listen to it again because there are so many details going on in this track, i could not capture it all in the first listen.

- 2nd listen
guitar line with a melodic line and a strummed guitar major chord intro.
A piano line setting the tone for the melodic main ostinato.
When the vocals come in, the pianist switches to a more laid back and subtle accompaniment style, taking over the higher octave lead line when the verse end. it is a terrifically unique song structure and definitely shows a real sense of individuality in the band's complete sound.
The main riff switches from major to minor chords, and this has the effect of giving the song a happy yet thoughtful vibe.
Around 2:22 Amy's vocals come in and the bass guitarist switches to a more rhythmic flow. The song develops well because of this and the drummer uses great a variety of cymbals and drum patterns throughout.
The song is full of life and diversity, especially at the introduction of the new section around 3:24.
This section technically reversed the flow of the chord progression from the main riff, as it goes from minor to major, falling in between from the dominant chord.
The effect of this gives some tension to the lyrics as the word set is sustained for the duration of a full bar.
This seems to add definitiveness to the recognition that the person being sung about, is undeniably set in their ways, with no likelihood of changing any time soon.
Extending the word 'set' represents 'a long duration of time being set in a certain way of thinking', as the word set is held longer than any other word in the song. It is a powerful accenting tool being utilised here.
Excellent songwriting technique.
The performance feels intentionally rough around the edges, as in there is no electronic tweaking or correction, the recording as a very live and raw feel to it.
This band appears to be aiming to present pure and unedited emotion and their music is extremely powerful because of this choice.
I personally think this deserves a 10/10, especially for the songwriting and alternative performance style, and unique instrumentation methods.
They really stand out as a band.
The second section's chord progression is a work of genius in my opinion.
6 = sadness
5 = certainty
1 = completion "you're not going to change."
