Hey, this is a great description. I'll just add, I'm not much of a musician, but this one really calls part of IKINW to my mind (obviously a bit of You Do or You Don't too). Something about the background ahhs that hang around the "save me". And then the guitar fill at around 2:07 sounds Mirage-y, and I love Mirage to death (specifically, it sounds like a little part in WYWH near the end). If I'd have just heard a clip of GTF, I'd never have thought it'd end up being one of my favorites here. All these elements together really do it for me.
