"I Want Her She Wants Me"

I recently listened to Odessey and Oracle {Revisited} and noticed a small point in "I Want Her She Wants Me."  I also remembered a similar point I found in November but forgot to write about.

In the line "I sleep so easy," "so" is sung with a longer value than the surrounding notes, giving a sense of degree.

In the line "All around me," "all" is likewise sung with a longer value than the surrounding notes, here lending a sense of breadth or entirety.
