Yester-day, while drafting
a post about the resemblance that the Electric Light Orchestra's "Heaven Only Knows" has with "You Won't See Me," I realized something about "You Won't See Me" itself. Here's some notation I workt up for that post; this is just the first two lines of the vocal melody for the verses (I referenced the first verse, so there might be some slight differences between this and later verses; I also guessed on the key):
In the third verse (also repeated as the fourth verse), that first dotted half note (tied to an eighth note) is what "filled" is sung to in the line "Though the days are few, they're filled with tears." It's the longest note value in the phrase, so - compared to the other note values - there's something of a musical sense of being "filled."
