Part 3/8:
The song is primarily built on a three-chord structure, with the melody relying on three to four scalar notes—F, E-flat, D-flat, occasionally extending to a fourth note. This simplicity gives the song a linear, scalar feel, emphasizing emotional clarity and directness.
Melody and Composition
In the verse, the melody centers around phrases like "I need someone to be patient with me, someone to get money when I take it from me." The melodic line stays within a narrow scalar space, making it easy to manipulate and remix. The minimalist nature of the melody provides opportunities for creative reinterpretation.
