"Sleep Won't Help Me"

In "Sleep Won't Help Me," "pain" in the line "All the pain" is sung with an extensive melisma (I think it's C D Eb F G C' Bb, although some notes near the end might be glissandi rather than melismas).  This articulation gives a sense of the entirety of "all," especially because it spans an octave.
