"Something Happens When You Touch Me"
Last night, I figured out a couple more parts for Colin Blunstone's "Something Happens When You Touch Me" (bass for one section and the chords in the bridge). I realized something that I was very close to seeing when I wrote about the song in October 2018. In the line "Just say the word, and I'll drop ev'rything, ev'rything," the three syllables of those "ev'rything"s are all sung to different pitches (F E C, A G E in the lead vocals, A G E, C Bb G in the harmony vocals), musically giving a sense of breadth.
