Analysis
The riff centers on D as a low pedal tone while implying E minor above it. The chromatic D♯ creates the flattened-fifth tension that makes the phrase feel meaner than it has any legal right to.
Comments
SarahK: That turnaround is begging for bass harmonics.
DaveW: I slowed it to 70 BPM and accidentally opened a portal.
