"It's Easy Child"

I listened to The Magnificent Moodies this morning and discovered that I'd forgotten to mention something about "It's Easy Child" (included as a bonus track).  Some of the "Falling in love with you"s in the backing vocals are sung to descending phrases (F# F# F# F# E D and G G G G E D), giving a sense of that metaphorical "falling."

There's also this phrase in the backing vocals (at ~1:03 and ~2:51), where there's a sustained pitch with pitches added beneath it:


This too gives a sense of that "falling."

In verifying these things, I also noticed that the "Falling in love with you" in the lead vocals at the end of the chorus is sung to the descending phrase C C C B A G.
