"Nervous"

I noticed a few small things in "Nervous," all in this section:

Seems to me, I've been a long time on this road
Has there been a sign, another way, and I've passed it by
I don't know what it is that drives me on
Gotta keep a-movin'
Gotta keep a-movin' on

"By" (Bb A) and both "on"s (A D and F# E) are sung with melismas, musically giving a sense of movement.

"22,000 Days"

When I listened to Long Distance Voyager yester-day, I noticed a few significant melismas in "22,000 Days."

"Go" in the line "That drive me so and let me go" is sung to the notes B A G, and "flow" in the line "This time feel the flow" is sung to the notes C B (in one voice, at least).  For both, the articulation gives a musical sense of movement.

For what it's worth:  I also figured out that 22,000 days is roughly sixty years.

"Gemini Dream"

I listened to Long Distance Voyager this afternoon and noticed a few things.

In "Gemini Dream," there's a recurring phrase played between two guitars, one panned left and one panned right.  Although the notes that each guitar plays aren't the same (I think the left is a glissando up to G and then two Bbs; the right two Bbs and then a hammer on from Bb to C), I think this is meant to represent Gemini (the twins) in a musical way.

The other thing I noticed is that "long" in the line "First night, so long" is sung with a melisma (G Eb).  I'm not sure if this is intended as a description or an interjection of farewell, but if it's the former, there's a musical representation of that length.

"Please Think about It"

I listened to Caught Live + 5 yester-day and noticed two melisma'd "go"s in "Please Think about It."  "Go" in the backing vocals after "Don't go" is sung to the notes E D C, and "Go" in the lead vocals in the line "So, if you have to go" is sung to the notes G D E D.  For both, the articulation gives a musical sense of movement.

To-day, I also finally lookt into something I noticed years ago:  that the beginning of "Please Think about It" is somewhat similar to the beginning of "I Don't Mind" (actually, the particular elements are repeated throughout both songs, but it's easier to identify them simply as "the beginning").  I don't think the rhythms are exactly the same, but they are very similar.  Although the two songs are in different keys, the root notes of the chords at the beginning of "I Don't Mind" (D F G) have the same intervals as the bass notes at the beginning of "Please Think about It" (B D E).

"Emily's Song"

Last June, I figured out (at least most of) the celeste solo in "Emily's Song."  Earlier this week, I figured out the mellotron part played at the same time.

I'm still a bit unsure of the celeste part, but if it's inaccurate, it's because I'm missing notes.  I'm pretty sure that the notes I do have are right.

Figuring out the notes for the mellotron part was relatively easy; the hard part was determining the specific voice.  I think it's actually clarinet, but it's played in a higher register.

"Minstrel's Song"

I listened to Live at the Isle of Wight Festival 1970 this afternoon, and then I figured out the chords for "Minstrel's Song" (referencing the studio version) and noticed an interesting feature.  The song is in C major, but for the "Ev'rywhere love is all around" section, the chord progression includes a D major (with a F# accidental).  Musically, this accidental illustrates the "ev'rywhere" and "all around."
