Music
The song features guitar themes that float between left and right channels.
Richard Middleton notes that licks in rock music are often used through a formula and variations technique and that "Gypsy Eyes" "is put together from variants of five stock ideas...familiar from other recordings in the same style."
- "Drum lick A"
- "Drum lick B"
- "A complex of riffs on guitar and bass guitar"
- "A basic melodic falling pattern, using the notes of the pentatonic scale"
- "A characteristic guitar effecty, the attacked single note with long decay and glissando fall"
He concludes that "the combination and variations of these formulae are many and highly imaginatve. But the basic formulae are so simple that the recording could well have been worked out 'in performance.'"

Famous quotes containing the word music:
“Music, ho, music such as charmeth sleep!”
—William Shakespeare (15641616)
“Id rather you shot at tin cans in the back yard, but I know youll go after birds. Shoot all the bluejays you want, if you can hit em, but remember its a sin to kill a mockingbird.... Mockingbirds dont do one thing but make music for us to enjoy. They dont eat up peoples gardens, dont nest in corncribs, they dont do one thing but sing their hearts out for us. Thats why its a sin to kill a mockingbird.”
—Harper Lee (b. 1926)
“As polishing expresses the vein in marble, and grain in wood, so music brings out what of heroic lurks anywhere. The hero is the sole patron of music.”
—Henry David Thoreau (18171862)
