back to riff I including the 'light' chords played over the top but at full volume this
(1:58)
after this only the vocals can be heard. play the light chords over the top. (2:14)
just the vocals, bass and drums can be heard now until 2:58 where the chorus parts are
again.
at 3:13 you can make out another riff in the background with a strange effect to it.
is how it goes.
