 * It is quieter during the verses and doesn't change much during the chorus. The song stay's about the same the whole way through.
 * Some of the verses do not play all the instruments and the chorus play's all the instruments.
 * Do any of the instruments have any effects? Maybe the guitars?
 * Yes the singers voice is deep and low and doesn't reach a high pitch.
 * There are back up vocals that sing the same over and over again throughout the whole song, except in some verses.
 * There are no instrumental solos, but there are a few sections where there are no vocals for short periods of time.
 * The song seems happy but then again not extremely happy and exciting. It has a tang of sadness to it and also makes you dance and move to the beat.
 * Underneath all the vocals, the instruments and back up vocals are played constantly with only changing in some parts.
 * The electronics and back up vocals play a repeated beat throughout the whole song except in a few parts where they drop out for a few seconds.

 * Slow during the start but speeds up and becomes louder, especially in the chorus when all the instruments are played. When it does become louder, it does suddenly and all at once at the end of the pre chorus, right before the chorus starts.
 * All the instruments are played during the chorus and also in the outro
 * Lordes voice is low and doesn't go high at any point in the song, it just gets louder.
 * The back-up vocals hum at the start and also throughout the song, only stopping during some parts where they sing words.
 * The song isn't happy and it isn't exactly sad. It is loud, especially during the chorus, and it seems angry at times.
