Over the next couple weeks, I'm going to try to listen to all of the Beatles albums, plus the Past Masters compilations of the singles. To-day I listened to Please Please Me and noticed a few things. First, here's a small point about "I Saw Her Standing There."
The "fall in love" part of "I'd fall in love with her" in the second verse (and "fell in love" when this line is changed slightly to "I fell in love with her" in the third and fourth verses) is sung to a descending melody (F# E D), musically giving something of a sense of that "fall[ing]."
