"Here without You"

I was thinking about "Here without You" yester-day and had a small realization about the line "Though you're far away" in the bridge.  Between "you're" and "far," the melody jumps a sixth (from E to C), and this large musical interval suggests the distance of "far away."

"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."
