How this song sits on each sensory axis

Sudden changes: mild. There are one or two transitions worth knowing about, though they're musically resolved rather than surprise-driven.

Texture is layered — a full arrangement with clear separation between parts.

Predictability is low — this song does not follow standard verse-chorus form closely, and rewards active listening more than passive listening.
