"That's Why God Made the Radio"

I recently listened to That's Why God Made the Radio (I think for only the third time) and noticed a number of things, about which I'll have posts over the next couple days.  First, a small thing about the title track: the "afar" in the line "Capturing mem'ries from afar" has a harmony part in the backing vocals and is sung with a melisma (Bb A G F G, I think).  This articulation gives a musical sense of the distance that "afar" itself implies.
