The song's introduction begins with a slow tempo in simple quadruple meter. It begins with tight five-part harmony with voices in heterophony, singing a cappella with long, drawn-out notes. The first and second subphrases of the first sentence end with questions, breathing is heard, then the second part of the statement begins just like the first. There is an accent on the "no" with a sudden drop in pitch, then the voices return to the original notes, where the last word and note is held, forming the cadence. The theme begins with the melody in the form of a legate. The statement resumes with four voices now still in harmony, but in a homophonic style due to the piano joining. With the piano still playing, the voices accompany it, holding out a word and a note. Three of the voices fade out and become the background accompaniment for the lead vocal, singing in unison and straining a note. Then the accompanying voices imitate part of the phrase of the soloist who continues to sing the melody. The three voices then join the lead vocal making it a harmony again with the piano completely changing the way it sounds by playing one note at a time every second beat. During this part word painting is involved, when the voices say "high" their pitch goes up and when they say "low" their pitch goes down. Then the piano returns to its original melody with the lead voice once again becoming evident by increasing the volume of its voice, but still singing the same words as the other parts. The soloist oscillates back and forth, being the same and not, differentiating itself from the dynamics of the other voices. In this last subphrase an emphasis is placed on "to me" by the lead voice who repeats it this time alone, again forming a pattern like... the guitar solo. The electric guitar begins its solo, with the drums playing in the background in its triple meter. The intensity of the music continues, the latter for almost thirty bars, until the bass ends its descent, starting the tone of the new key. At this point the band drops out for perhaps half a bar, but the piano picks up playing a completely different theme than any other part of the song. It begins with a soft staccato with swinging chords on the piano. This section is known as the opera section of this song. The swinging piano chords continue and can also be heard in the vocals. There is an accelerated sequence of calls and responses. The lead vocal starts very monotonously for eight bars. Then a trio responds, for another eight beats, higher, dissonant and also very monotonous.
