The piano drives the track and everything else is layered in — or so it seems to me.
The drums do not mesh well with the song. They’re too overblown.

Why also has strings which maybe is not a coincidence. I suppose Chris really liked that impact on Why and maybe decided to put them on this song. However unlike Why where the music is a somber feeling, the vibe of the musical track is beyond peppy and happy. Its a unique take on the song.
Heroes scores each of Christine signature songs. Two hurt love songs with hope, one angry song (rare), and the signature pop song. She always had the knack but this album showed she was on her way to becoming one of the best pop song writers in pop/rock history.
