Towards the end , there seems to be a sort of walk up from the 2 chord to the 5 (so 2 - 3 - 4 -5 in fact)chord and i was wondering if someone could confirm/explain how this work and the logic behind the choice of chords (that would help me applying to other keys)

Here are the chords being used there:

D / Ab-C-D-F (2) = Dm7 (b5)
E / G-C-E = C/E
F / Ab-C-D-F = Dm7 (b5)/F
G / G-C-E (5) = C/G

The logic behind the choice of chords here is mostly experimentation and sound.  Someone was looking for a certain sound and experimented with chords until they found something they liked.  The theory can explain what the chords are, but it can't tell you exactly how these chords worked out like this.  Since they do work, just take it and run with it, LOL.

Thanks T-Block.

I think i understand how the chords work now.
So am i right in thinking that this is to link the 2 and 5 chords with  3-4 (so walking up basically)?

The reason i ask is that i find it easier to memorize a progression with the number system. So in this case, i can think of the progression as:

1 (with quick 1 - 4minor) - 7-3-6-2-3-4-5-1 with suspended movement at the end.

So then i can add the
1-4minor trick (on the first 3 chords)
The 2 to 5 chord walk up
The Suspended chord on the 1 (at the end)

to my box of tricks i can use on other progressions!

Hope it makes sense :-)

All of that is exactly right, and it makes perfect sense, well to me anyways.
