"Old and Wise"

After I listened to Eye in the Sky a couple days ago, I learned what I think is a cello part in the introduction of "Old and Wise."  To this, I could add what I think is a flute part, which I learned a couple years ago.  I used mellotron voices for both.

"Children of the Moon"

In the lines "Children, children of the moon watch the world go by" and "Children, children of the moon watch it all go by" in "Children of the Moon," the "by"s are sung with a melisma (F C), musically giving a sense of movement.

"Eye in the Sky"

I listened to Eye in the Sky yester-day and noticed two small things.  In the line "Don't cry; I ain't changing my mind" in "Eye in the Sky," "mind" is sung with a melisma (C# B), so while it's negated, musically there's a sense of that "changing" (from one pitch to an-other).

"No Answers Only Questions"

For some reason, "No Answers Only Questions" popped into my head yester-day.  I remembered only the line "And I carry the burden of the proof" though, so I had to reference the lyrics on the APP website to find out what song it was (at least I remembered it was a song from Vulture Culture [or at least a bonus track on it]).

In looking at the lyrics, I noticed that the verses exhibit anaphora:

Some of us laugh
Some of us cry
Some of us lay back, watch the world go by
Some of us fear
Some of us hate
Some of us won't wake up till it's too late

Why do we fight?
Why do we fall?
Why do we stand there, backs against the wall?
Why don't we change?
Why don't we try?
Why don't we turn round, help the other guy?

The first verse has the repeated "Some of us," and the second verse has the repeated "Why do(n't) we."

I also noticed that the structure of the second verse mirrors the sentiment.  The "Why do we"s all ask about negative behaviors, but then there's a change to the "Why don't we"s, which ask about positive behaviors.

"I Don't Wanna Go Home"

I listened to The Turn of a Friendly Card yester-day and noticed a small thing in "I Don't Wanna Go Home."  The "Lookin' up" in the backing vocals at ~1:52 is sung to an ascending melody (E F# G), musically giving a sense of that "up."
