"Beyond the Borderline"

I listened to Still Got That Hunger yester-day and noticed two small features in the lines "The heartache and the sacrifice / All worth it just to feel the changing atmosphere / It's very clear" in "Beyond the Borderline."

In the phrase "the changing atmosphere," the note values shift from even quarter notes (for "the changing") to mostly eighth notes (for "atmosphere").  Even musically, then, this "changing" is represented, albeit in a small way.

Rod and Colin both sing the line "It's very clear," and the doubled voices add a sense of degree (for "very").
