"Sitting in the Park"

"Sitting in the Park" doesn't resolve, and this matches the theme of the lyrics.  In the same way that the narrator is left "waiting for you," the listener is left waiting for a musical resolution.

A few days ago, I tried learning "Sitting in the Park."  I didn't get very far, only the bass part during the verses.  It's interesting in that it doesn't include chromatic phrases for the "Sitting in the park" phrases, but it does for the other lines.

According to the Zombie Heaven liner notes, fifty years ago to-day (8 January 1966), the Zombies recorded "Sitting in the Park" for "Easy Beat."  The show was broadcast the next day, 9 January.
