About this riff
The entire song is built on one simple, repeating bassline that carries the main melody, making it an ideal beginner riff for locking in feel and dynamics rather than technique. There are no fast runs or shifts, so the challenge is in playing the loop cleanly and steadily around 114 BPM while leaving room to sing the vocal on top. It's a great study in how a minimal, groove-focused part can define an entire song.
Did you know?
Kim Deal wrote the whole song around that single repeated riff, once saying she built the entire track on one riff, and Songfacts likens its progression to the Velvet Underground's 'Sweet Jane' played backwards. She co-wrote it with Black Francis while credited under her stage name 'Mrs. John Murphy,' and drew the lyric's inspiration from the 1986 film Crimes of the Heart.
FAQ
Is this the real audio?
The audio is rendered from a high-quality SoundFont (FluidR3), so it plays for real. It is not the original master recording.
