"Sure to Fall (In Love with You)"

Yester-day, I started listening to a three-disc set of Carl Perkins, and I noticed a small feature in "Sure to Fall" that's also in the versions that the Beatles did live on the BBC.  The repetition involved in the alliterative "so sweet" ("You are so sweet") lends a slight sense of degree.

"Sure to Fall (In Love with You)"

One of my 2019 musical projects is to listen to one of the Beatles' Live at the BBC albums every month (alternating between the first and second volumes every month and listening to the first disc on the 10th and the second disc on the 20th).  This morning I listened to the first disc of Live at the BBC and noticed a couple things about which I'll have posts over the next few days.

To-day, I have just a small point about "Sure to Fall (In Love with You)."  The "go" in the line "Darling, don't ever let me go" in the bridge is sung with a melisma (F# E).  While it's negated and used in a more metaphorical sense (more "don't let me leave" than "I'm going to the record store"), this articulation gives a sense of movement.
