"Everyone's Born to Die"

I listened to On the Third Day yester-day and noticed a small feature in "Everyone's Born to Die" (included as a bonus track on the CD).  In the line "All the world will cry," "world" is sung with a melisma (G F# E), giving a sense of the entirety of "all."

"Everyone's Born to Die"

When I listened to On the Third Day a couple months ago, I noticed a small feature in "Everyone's Born to Die" (included as a bonus track on the CD re-issue).  In finally getting around to writing about it to-day, I found something else in the same line.

Months ago, I noticed that "down" in the line "Well, they'll all fall down" is sung with a descending melisma (E D C), musically giving a sense of the word's meaning.  In finding the specific notes to-day so I could write about it, I also noticed that "all" is sung with a melisma (G F# E), musically giving a sense of entirety (the consonance of the repeated Ls in the line might indicate this too).
