"Good Day Sunshine"

I listened to Revolver this morning and noticed a couple features in "Good Day Sunshine."  After "We take a walk," there's a descending piano phrase (A G# G F#).  This phrase is step-wise chromatically, so there's something of a sense of the steps involved in "tak[ing] a walk."

The clause "She feels good" is a bit ambiguous.  This could be either a description of the girl's disposition (which the rest of the line ["she knows she's looking fine"] seems to suggest) or a comment by the narrator about her body.

"The Night Before"

I listened to Help! yester-day and noticed a small feature in "The Night Before."  In the line "Was I so unwise," "unwise" is sung with a melisma (F G F E D), musically giving a sense of degree (for "so").

"You Never Give Me Your Money"

This morning I was thinking about "You Never Give Me Your Money," specifically this section:

Out of college, money spent,

See no future, pay no rent,

All the money's gone, nowhere to go.

Any jobber got the sack,

Monday morning turning back,

Yellow lorry slow, nowhere to go.

But oh, that magic feeling, nowhere to go!

Oh, that magic feeling, nowhere to go!

Nowhere to go!

(This is how it appears in The Beatles Complete Chord Songbook.)

Most of this exhibits asyndeton.  There are no conjunctions (aside from one "But"), just phrases and clauses crammed together.  This lack of any conjunctions mirrors the absences in the lyrics themselves:  "no future," "no rent," "the money's gone," "nowhere to go."

"Any Time at All"

I listened to A Hard Day's Night last week and noticed a couple things about the title line of "Any Time at All."  First Lennon sings the line, and then McCartney sings it, and then Lennon sings it again.  Because more than one voice sings this line, there's a sense of the breadth of possibility of "any."

The "all" is sung with a melisma (I think it's E D B in Lennon's part and A F# E in McCartney's).  This too gives a sense of the breadth of possibility (note, though, that since "all" is in the construction "at all," it functions adverbially).
