Basically this song talks about how pop artists have made their way through by using merely four chords in their songs (which are e b c#m a). These chords are the backbone of every mayor pop song written in the last 4 decades, which are nothing more than shallow and empty songs that do not bring anything new or interesting to the table. They only focus on superficial mass moving lyrics and melody instead of creating music in a meaningful, creative way with deep philosofical & esoteric lyrics

That is Chris Maitland drumming. Gavin Harrison started on In Absentia.

Sound of Muzak is the most mainstream sounding song on In Absentia and this song uses 4 chords. Oh, the irony...

@xinjinbei I'm not particularly sure, but it could be one of these: Shamisen, Koto, Shanai.
