Rossdale's lyrics and vocals are very much the sound of Bush. However, there are a number of other things happening within this song from which we can learn a great deal. In most musical genres, the chorus is the most identifiable part of the song and that's certainly the case here. Unusually however, the chorus arrives very near the start of this song so rather than the song building momentum and orientating us to the sound, you hear a single unintroduced verse then immediately a cracking thickly textured chorus. Concentrating lots of intense musical interest right at the beginning like this immediately makes you sit up and listen. What it also does is to buy the song some time in that as a listener your attention is grabbed and you're waiting for the next instalment. It's worth noting this song is 5 minutes long.

The verse that begins the song consists of just vocal and guitar. Because the vocal has lots of character the guitar accompaniment is intentionally understated. The guitar playing is relatively simple; it's lazy and sliding sound, and the effect of sounding out of time (when in fact it's perfectly in time), contribute to the languid mood of this opening verse. The lack of any delay on the guitar also helps to give this verse a personal 'man and guitar' feel, in sharp contrast to what follows.

The chorus is full on from the very first note. This 'full-onness' is accentuated by the preceeding verse ending abruptly leaving a clear beat of absolute silence. In contrast to the verse, the chorus is rhythmically straight with a big open sound. The straightness of the rhythm is the result of rhythm guitar, bass and drums playing an unrelenting eighth note rhythm. The big open sound comes from the distortion on the guitar and from the drummer's open hi-hat. The best thing about this chorus though is the brilliant and well-considered lead guitar. Throughout, it provides a melodic counterpoint to the vocal, and its freeness of rhythm echoes that of the guitar accompaniment on the first verse. The most musically strong element of this chorus and therefore in many ways the most striking element of the song is this lead guitar part.
