On improving Better Skies - Papercut ?


https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=XTrUrB24Y_8


Very nice melody with prepared major 7ths (with respect to bass).
There is some kind of higher simplicity in this melody reminding good quality 80s.


An example on prepared major 7ths?
For example at 3:05 the vocal sings (....awayyyyyy...) with note E while bass is A and then bass becomes F while voice still on E creating a beautiful F major 7th interval lasting for a short time.


Shame on me, I did not know this song had been made in my country. I heard it possibkyngirstbtime yesterday on Galaxy radio.

Also nice prepared 9ths.
For example melody singing Mi Fa Sol Sol and bass becoming at the last Sol, from La to Fa creating Fa Sol ie major ninth.


Could it be improved?


Possibly by varispeed so that key becomes from A minor to B flat minor. Varispeed would create that ethereal quality to voice enhancing the nice vocal. Perhaps some selective echo too like on Moonlight Shadow - Oldfield.


Bass is also very nice.
Key is A minor ie all notes white or natural.
A9
F
D6
E
