Aside from this being a really good song, I did it mostly because of the syncopation in the accompaniment. This was also challenging because there is a lot of things going on at once and because the leads keeps shifting between the piano and strings with variations on each shift. It was kind of nightmarish trying to bring out the constantly changing leads without blowing out the accompaniment.
