Passive Aggressive Production

Wrestling with the Passive Aggressive production. I've decided to slow down the verses and make them more like Hound Dog than Jailhouse Rock. The backing was too sparse with just bass, so I've added a weird electric piano which played arpeggios is alternating minor and major chords for 'passive' and 'aggressive' - major then minor might be more culturally appropriate with minor generally feeling darker, but the chord is minor, so measures need to start on that. Discordant or strange passages serve as the chaos before the relief of something better. Here Come The Sun works so well because it follows the chaos of She's So Heavy.
