Can’t get my head round this song now being over 15 years old. One of the most beautiful songs written by Mogwai.
Taken from their fifth album Mr Beast, produced by Tony Doogan.
Talking with Barry Burns on Twitter, he told me the main riff he plays was inspired by the outro from ‘We’re In This Together’ by NIN. Have a listen yourself, you’ll hear the feel of the main chord progression. I’m just so glad the idea took root for Mogwai.
I’ve been lucky enough to see the band perform this song live a few times, always so evocative.
A few people messaged me on here asking me to transcribe it, so here you are!

Your piano sounds absolutely amazing. Really open, wide and dreamy. It's one of those instruments that let's you forget everything else and weave some melodies

I think this is an excellent cover. The slightly tinny sound of the upright piano and the weird resonances work really well in this case, creating a feeling of abandonment and sadness. I think it's one of those cases where a grand piano would sound out of place.

Thanks so much, that's exactly the sound I was aiming for. It's a Blüthner overstrung piano built in 1899. It's over-dampened which means the mechanism to stop the string after it’s played is above the hammer, not so efficient at staccato notes, so there’s always a subtle echo effect, even without sustain, I love that design fault though, it always sounds so lost and forlorn. In post edit of the audio I used a few effects to bring out those ambient resonating ghost notes, it layered up quite well.

@@__stal__ Well, I think you got it spot on. The sound is perfect. It also sounds slightly compressed, like the dynamic range of the piano has been squeezed into tub... The notes don't have a lot of sustain and they decay quite fast... Again, for thing song it creates a feeling of weird, hazy atmosphere, which works really well. Great stuff.

Sorry I don’t, I just play by ear. Chords are D, F, G, most of lead notes are just octave improv, all I can suggest is record it through Ableton Live midi to get notes structure sorted for you

Hi mate sorry I’ve only just seen this. Thanks for asking, but it’s kind of already written specifically on piano, part two is not piano friendly either hehe! I tend to try piece together all band elements, working at transcribing by ear, I’m working on ‘To The Bin…’ and ‘Dry Fantasy’. Will be uploading ‘Hunted’ shortly too.
