"Above the Clouds"
I listened to A New World Record yester-day and noticed a couple small features in "Above the Clouds," both in the line "You gotta climb it to the top." The phrase generally ascends (Bb Bb C D D Eb F F Eb D), giving a sense of "climb[ing]... to the top," and "top" is sung to the highest note (F), which matches its meaning.

"Above the Clouds"
I haven't posted anything for the last few months, but I've been listening to the albums regularly and figuring out parts here and there (just none that overlap, so any recordings I would make wouldn't be very interesting). I recently figured out and notated the bass part for "Above the Clouds," so I thought I would post that so that there's some activity here. There's a section at the very beginning of the song that's just strings and a vocal; my notation starts after that. As always, there's the disclaimer that I might have something wrong:
