This time, I only had to partially transcribe the track by ear, with a reference for the verse-chorus 1 being available. While transcribing the bridge was easy, I really struggled with the intro as I for the life of me couldn't figure out all the tempo changes. Where as in previous tracks, I could use the percussive nature of a piano to keep time, here it was all just straight notes with some rolls that didn't really tell me anything. I was just about ready to give up and skip the intro when it sorta clicked. The tempo isn't matching the original - at all - but it works in its own right.
After the intro, I knew I wanted to include the segment from the episode ver. Transcribing this was again, pretty simple, helped by the fact that most of it is just a instrumental of the chorus.
When it came time for arranging, I did puzzle a bit on what to do, with things going through a bunch of chord voicings and instrumentation. For example, I originally had a solo violin in the first verse, but I decided that was plain cheesy, so I scrapped that.
Though by far the trickiest thing here was getting the vocals mixed right. With how it bounced around between from pretty low to stratospheric, my usual mixing tricks weren't cutting it. I tried a bunch of different things and ended up with a bunch of variable stuff, with less or more of e element during different sections of the song.
Time spent working on the track: 51 hours.
