![]() The chorus (or at least the part I interpret as the chorus) is short, only 4 bars. There's a drum fill in the middle which substitutes snare for an 808 clap, first hit dry and second with reverb.Īt the end there's a subtle hint of the intro guitar riff, maybe just the effect track without the dry signal. ![]() The first verse has just the drums and the pad. The claves go on and off periodically and the hihats and maracas are muted during some fills.Īs the first verse starts there's a short bass fill and the highs on the drum track are omitted briefly. There's very little variation on the drum loop throughout the track. The drum pattern, a combo of 3 different drum machines (most likely) I reproduced them with something that sounded similar. I don't recognize the kick and snare, but most likely they are from a period drum machine also. I spot some classic sounds in the drum track! There are hihats from the Roland TR-909 with clave and maracas from the TR-808. The rhythm is loose at times and the following transcription is approximate. There's some reverb on it which makes it more floaty. ![]() These go nicely with the chords, D being a ninth on top of Cm7 and the D to E♭ bends occur on on Fm7, sixth bending to seventh. On top of the chords there's a clean electric guitar line with only two notes, C and D (three if you count the half bends to E♭). I don't recognize the original synth/patch so I tried matching the sound with a couple of different layered pads. Notice the A note in Dm7 which adds some excitement as we shift from dorian mode (Dm7/C) to natural minor (Fm7/C). Maybe it was composed like that, jamming around with presets or a sample. ![]() Or it's a synth patch with the chord built in. The shape is the same for all chords which brings to mind that this could have been done with sampling a single chord and playing it with different pitches. The arrangement feels electronic especially towards the end with repeating loops but it's contrasted with a loosely phrased guitar and Sade's warm vocals.Ī mellow synth pad plays four one bar length chords: Cm7, Dm7, Fm7 and Gm7. It has a programmed drum beat throughout with a static C minor bass riff and only four chords on the synth pads. This 80 bpm track is somewhat minimal in its composition and arrangement.
