This theme is a jazzy blues song in the key of A minor, set at about 75 beats per minute. The song bears a striking resemblance to the traditional folk song "[[wikipedia:The House of the Rising Sun|The House of the Rising Sun]]", particularly the 1964 blues cover by British rock band The Animals. One similarity worth noting is that both songs are set in 6/8 time, with prominent use of guitar [[wikipedia:arpeggio|arpeggio]]s outlining the rhythm. The main instrument used is a trumpet, with a Hammond organ as accompaniment. | This theme is a jazzy blues song in the key of A minor, set at about 75 beats per minute.

The most prominent melodic instruments are a bass guitar, saxophone, and trumpet in key of E minor, and the instruments take turns with the melody and harmony throughout the track. Notably, the leitmotif of "My Friend and the Sunset" itself has been altered and slightly extended, differing greatly from previous usages. The last third has been pitch-altered, and the lone ending chord of prior versions has been replaced with a new series of notes, ending the motif more energetically. Finally, many of the phrases in the track open with a similar arpeggio to the one found as the first three notes in almost every phrase in the parent theme. | ||
