One of my 2019 musical projects is to listen to a Moody Blues album every Tuesday. To-day I listened to Days of Future Passed and noticed a couple of things about which I'll have posts over the next few days.
At ~3:16 in "Peak Hour," there's a tempo change from a fast tempo to a slower one (and there's also a change in the number of instruments playing, with the slower section featuring only what I believe to be an organ sound on mellotron), which musically differentiates between the rushing people and the speaker/singer, who has a more relaxed attitude. The lyrics during this slower section describe this difference: "It makes me want to run out and tell them / They've got time." When the speaker/singer himself says, "I found out I've got time," the word "time" is sung with a melisma (A Bb B in one of the voices), which musically gives a sense of the abundance of time that he has.
