"Since I've Been Loving You"

Shortly after the beginning of the third full verse of "Since I've Been Loving You," many musical elements (including piano, the doubled track of the lead vocal, backing vocals, and handclaps) drop out (at ~2:28), leaving only the lead vocal, acoustic guitar, cymbal, and bass drum (along with some sporadic notes on bass).  The comparatively softer dynamic here musically illustrates the "quietly" in the lyrics:  "Never thought I was the kind / Who could find my peace of mind / Living here so quietly like we do."
