"Transcendental Meditation"

I listened to the Friends/20/20 two-albums-on-one-CD reissue this morning (because Brian Wilson is currently on tour doing songs from Friends), and I noticed an interesting feature in "Transcendental Meditation."  For much of the verses, the saxophones play only a single pitch, and in the second verse, this gives a musical impression of the "never-changing" that's mentioned in the lyric.
