"I Know She Will"

Backdated, archival post

---&---

I was thinking about "I Know She Will" last night/this morning because it's the last song I learned a part for, so that's what I've been focusing on lately.  I got thinking about the "go"s in the recurring line "No matter where you go."  There's a really wild melisma on it; the one-syllable word is broken up into something like four or five syllables (this is why I haven't had a go at doing vocals for that; I don't think I could pull it off).  But the erratic nature of that "go" sort of helps to emphasize the line's meaning.  No matter if you go to various places (like the flighty pitches in the syllables of that melisma'd "go"), "She'll be for you."
