"Eternity Road"

I'm going a bit out of order in my cycle of albums, but I figured out some of the clarinet mellotron part in "Eternity Road" last night and noticed a small thing while doing so.  In the repeated line "You'll see us all around," the three syllables of "all around" are each sung to a different pitch (F C A, which is then echoed by mellotron).  Musically, this gives a sense of the breadth of "all around."
