"You Could Be My Love"

Yester-day was the anniversary of the Zombies concert at Abbey Road Studios in 2021, so I watched the DVD again.  I noticed some significance in the articulation of a line in "You Could Be My Love" (which is also present in the version on Different Game).  "Can't begin to think without you" in the chorus is sung with some gaps in between the words, not exactly staccato but definitely not completely legato either.  These interruptions demonstrate the difficulty that the narrator would experience in stringing together a coherent thought without his love.
