Listened the other day but forgot to comment here, because I have teh dumb. As weird as the melody of this one is, it really sticks in your head. As Adam Neely often says, repetition legitimizes.

You know, I've actually developed a kind of rule of composition for these Meedee songs, using repetition and sliding themes. I like to at least drag one part into another movement, even if I am changing instruments and moving to different parts. A big part of it was moving away from the old standard pop construct, which, you guys, knowing me for so long, know I could do. The old AB,AB,C,AB, or simply verse chorus, repeat and bridge then verse chorus. A lot of times, I compose these thinking of three distinct movements, but wanting them to not always be smooth in transition, or maybe sometimes, I do want the smoothness. It is a fluid thing, but I find myself coming back to a few tried things.

The next things I have been thinking of tinkering with is the panning placement of different parts and I have already been experimenting with extreme panning. I was listening to Bowie's Space Oddity recently and the way the parts are placed across the stereo field in that song are odd, pardon the pun. Instrments are stacked to one side with vocals on one side and when the lush lead part comes in, it's all off to me side and it kind of all works. Though in that case, I wonder if what they did was due to using something like 8 track tape and having to find space for everything. But still, we work with these rules about placement and it seems, things have become normalized and I am anything buy normal these days. Senile maybe but not normal. With a touch of COVID brain in the mix!

The first thing that's going to strike you is those drums on the far left. Then listen through the song. It's weird mix, but it works.
