"La Sagrada Familia"

I noted before that in "La Sagrada Familia," "tears" in the line "And for all those years our eyes and ears were filled with tears," is sung with a melisma (D C# B F#) for a sense of amount, but a couple months ago, I discovered that "filled" is also sung with a melisma (Bb A) for a similar effect.

"Tears" is also sung with a melisma in the stand-alone "Filled with tears," although it's the same pitch (F# F#).
