Whoever absorbed the story behind the song a bit and listened might have felt shimmer like I did. It is due to the long notes of the instruments, floating in both sides and the sound of Paolo's voice. A beautiful piece of work with good sound. Even if I didn't understand parts of the poem, I feel like I received the spirit of the message.
Plus, the lyrics of the chorus add so much to the tragic incident of Adrian Borland, that is to learn to live and to learn to fly.
Scaleter's Notes
Now, to my favorite part of Scaleter's Choice, a tiny bit of analysis to the song.
Scale change
I like to mention whenever I get a song with a scale change. It is not to say that it's good or bad. I like songs without it as well. It's just more challenging to the ear for analysis. The scale change in this song is drastic because the scales are very distant from one another. I would like to explain this issue for our music lover readers.
If we take a look at the circle of fifths, where all our scales are there, we can see they are written in a certain rule, from a distance of a fifth interval between each other:
There is a reason for it. They are placed according to the number of common notes they have.
So, when a composer changes a scale within the same piece, he would usually use the closest scales because they have more common notes and the change would sound more appealing to the ear. For example, if our song is in Bm scale and we want to change it, we have three main options:
1) Move to A scale (which is the closest one and has the same notes as Bm scale).
2) Move to G or A (which are the second closest and have many common notes but not all).
3) Jump a long distance to other scales (the more far we jump, the less common notes the scales will share).
And so, in Adrian, we are evident to a looong far away jump from Bm scale, which is the main one, to Eb for the development part of the song [2:54] and back to Bm [4:40].
What exactly does it mean? I can't say. But it is dramatic. An extraordinary jump in scale leads to an extraordinary meaning. Surprisingly the far Eb scale is dressed very smoothly and we can feel the tense of the development part but still be connected to the place in the song. The band made us jump far and have a subtle land on our feet. Beautiful.
Augmentation of the melody in the verses
Once you study in the academy about Bach's augmentations in his works, you subconsciously look for it in more music. The instruments in the verse maintain the movement of the melody in the vocals, only with a longer length of the notes. Let me draw it for you to explain:

As you can see, the vocals move in short lengths downwards while the same action is happening, simultaneously, by the instruments. They go down in a very similar way, only at one long round. This is not an exact augmentation, but it is unquestionably audible and, as it appears, very visible as well. It is positively infectious.

Twenty Four Hours are inspired very much by great artists from the past. They claim so themselves. Much of their work is dedicated to selected legends (just like Scaleter's Choice). I heard a few of their tracks from this album. Not only they are very fine musicians, they also know to appreciate music of others. True spirits.
