Blissed out guitars open up the piece on a tender moment. Jennifer Hope’s vocals rise above offering a sense of optimism that pervades the song. Jagged guitar falls into the mix. The percussion is particularly on point: just subdued enough to give it a slightly tribal feel. However, it is the drum/bass combination that helps create a powerful driving groove that guides the song forward. Sweeping sound halfway through the piece Jennifer Hope lets an ambient interlude take hold for a little while before the song starts growing in size once more. Towards the end of the song the aggression is gradually stripped away revealing only the sweetness of the honeyed vocals.
