Every part is so cool on it's own. Together they fit into one of the best pop songs of all time! Now I need to learn the bass part for real❤

One of many astounding songs at any given time in the 80s (seriously, the radio was playing nonstop new, eternal hits).....it was just another great song at the time. Like I said..the field was VERY crowded. Over the years I appreciate it so much more.

So interesting to hear the guitars in isolation. The same tonic chord in the verses that becomes an A major in aggregate when all the other elements are added to it, I instinctively perceive as A minor when it’s just the guitars. He’s not actually playing either the major third or the minor third, so technically it’s neither, but your brain fills out the missing parts of the chord based on context. Because it’s teamed with a C major chord, which exists in the key of A aeolian (our western cultural default minor key), but doesn’t exist in the key of A Ionian (our Western cultural default major key), the brain defaults to the simplest interpretation in the absence of conflicting information, and “hears” that implied minor third. For me at least, that automatic default trumps even my intellectual knowledge that it ISN’T a minor chord, and my memory of the vocal line that is clearly major. I actually had to listen very carefully to work out what specific notes he was playing in that arpeggio, to realise that he ISN’T actually playing the third at all, so strong is my impression of minor.

That drum fill at 4:56 is clearly not real drums (it’s made up of the same sample programmed into a fill), which makes me wonder if ANY of the drums are real or if it’s all programmed.

Real drums or a machine? Hope it’s real drums (or even real drums on a loop as on Grace Jones’ Slave to the Rhythm) but almost seems too perfect for real - no subtle dynamic changes. Unless the gate / post production has taken away all of the dynamics?

It sounds it’s sampled drums. Seemingly programmed on a LinnDrum first and then all the sounds were replaced by samples. If you listen closely you can faintly hear the LinnDrum cowbell. I think the cymbals are real but that’s it.
