"Care of Cell 44"

Backdated, archival post


---&---

Yester-day I was thinking about the bridge of "Care of Cell 44" again, and I realized that that G note isn't only in the chords and the bass part; it's in the vocal melody too.  There are only four different notes in the vocal melody for the bridge; the bold in the following is entirely G notes:
We'll walk in a way we used to walk
And it
could be so nice
We'll talk in a way we used to talk
And it
could be so nice
So now I know of three things there that emphasize the frozen and static nature of the past.
