"What Am I Doing Here?"

When I listened to In Search of the Lost Chord a few days ago, I also noticed something about "What Am I Doing Here?" which is included as a bonus track.  "Free" in the lines "Ev'ryone's dream is deep within / Find it, and you'll be free" is sung with a melisma (E D).  Because it's not limited to a single pitch, there's a musical sense of that "free[dom]."
