Queens Of The Stone Age āGo With The Flowā:
This stoner rock/ garage rock balls to the wall song is an amazing listen and interesting when you break it down.
This song is in the key of C major but is mainly minor sounding (basically A minor). The song is 160 bpm in 4/4 and is 3:07 minutes long. The structure of this song is as follows:
Really tight/claustrophobic but loud drumsĀ Ā
A lot of octaves between the bass the guitar and the keyboard
Strange and quirky lead guitar parts in between vocal fraisesĀ Ā
Layers upon layers of guitarsĀ Ā
Mid-range boosted to the max
Simple chord progressingĀ Ā
Moving between half time and full timeĀ Ā
The tone of this song a mid rangey punch in the gut. This song is the definition of go hard or go home. I have interpreted this t=song to be about a girl who messed around with the singer telling him she āwants a new mistakeā and the singer doesnāt mind because he can āgo with the flowā. The distorted guitars, loud drums and fast tempo of this song make this song a force to be reckoned with.
