Reid Gyselinck&#8217;s drumming provides vitality and power, advancing the song precisely, while Anthony East&#8217;s bass lines serve as a strong foundation, supporting the track&#8217;s rhythmic depth. The song takes a fascinating turn at 3:51 with an emotionally impactful and technically stunning guitar solo.
