"Here without You"

Yester-day, I was thinking about "Here without You" and had a small realization about the lines "Girl, you're on my mind / Nearly all of the time," which are sung to phrases something like:

"All" is sung to a half note, and because this has a longer value (two beats) than any of the surrounding notes, there's something of a sense of the duration of "all of the time."

"Eight Miles High"

I was thinking about "Eight Miles High" this morning, and I realized that there are a couple musical features in the title line that mirror the phrase.

The words are sung to an ascending melody (E F# G), and this provides a musical sense of that height.  Together, the three words are sung to a total of eight beats (two half notes and one whole note), which obviously match the "eight" in the phrase.
