"I Want You Back Again"

Recently, I noticed a couple small features in "I Want You Back Again," both in the lines "Since you have left me / I'm all alone."  "Alone" is sung with a melisma (it's Eb F C in the single version; I think it's also Eb F C in the alternate take; and it's F G F D in the version on Still Got That Hunger), giving a sense of degree (for "all").  The words in the phrase "all alone" start with the same initial sound, and this gives a sense of that singularity.

"Together"

I was thinking about "Together" (from As Far As I Can See) yester-day, specifically this section:

And I've come to

Need you like flowers need the rain

Have to love you

As much as seasons have to change in time

The majority of this section has fairly quick note values, but each word in the phrase "change in time" is held for a full measure.  This contrast musically illustrates that "change" in the lyrics.
