 The song has a false ending where the song appears to fade out but then returns, similar to the effect at the end of the Beatles' "Strawberry Fields Forever".Urish and Bielen consider this an effective means of "reminding listeners that the tragedy continues even when not the focus of attention and will not go away on its own" but Beatle biographers Chip Madinger and Mark Easter feel that effect was better used on "Strawberry Fields Forever".Producer Phil Spector applied his wall of sound approach to the song to create a dense production.
