[Reverbed piano sample: slow, pitch-shifted loop of original melody from “Hard Times”] Vocal sample (slowed, chopped): Let us pause in life's pleasures, and count its many tears [echoed] ...many tears... While we all sup sorrow... with the poor... [Break – low synth swell, chopped breath samples, glitchy stutter fx] "They said the future would be better... but it feels like a loop." There's a pale drooping maiden... who toils her life away [glitched repeat] ...life away...life away... She sings a song of better days... But hard times... [beat cut] come again no more [repeated, descending filter sweep]
