"Don't Hold Back"

The last thing I noticed when I listened to Eve recently is in "Don't Hold Back."  In the line "And don't you let a shadow be your guide anymore," the "-more" of "anymore" is sung with a melisma (A B, I think), so while it's negated ("not... anymore"), there's something of a musical sense of continuation.

"Winding Me Up"

When I listened to Eve a couple days ago, I noticed what I think is a recorder part in "Winding Me Up" (from ~2:12 to ~2:41) that I guess I hadn't been fully aware of before.  Recorder isn't listed among the instruments in the "credits" section for Eve on the APP website, but it sure sounds like one in the song.

Here's my recording, with just guitar chords for accompaniment (I doubled-tracked recorder and guitar):

Here's the notation of the recorder part (with - of course - the disclaimer that I might have something wrong):

The day after I listened to the album, I was still thinking about this song, and I realized that in the title line, the "up" is sung to a higher note than the others ("Winding me up" is sung to the phrase E E E G), musically giving something of a sense of its meaning.

In looking at the song again in order to write this post, I also noticed that "too long" is sung with melismas (G E for "too" and E D for "long"), musically giving a sense of degree and of duration, respectively.

"You Won't Be There"

Near the end of "You Won't Be There," in the line "Why are you going anywhere," the three syllables of "anywhere" are each sung to a different pitch (G F# D).  To some degree, this represents musically the breadth of possibility.

"You Lie Down with Dogs"

I listened to Eve last night and noticed a few small things.  In "You Lie Down with Dogs," the repeated "You're fallin'" starting at ~3:19 is sung to descending phrases, musically reflecting that "fallin'."  I'm not sure of the exact notes, but it starts on Ab and the first half is a diatonic descent in F minor (down to Eb, at least).  I think altogether it descends more than an octave down to F.
