"Be with Me"
The lead vocals in "Be with Me" are doubled-tracked except for a single line about halfway through the song. The left-panned voice sings, "It could set us free," but the right-panned voice sings, "It could set you free." Up to that point, the voices had been singing the same lyrics, so they're bound together to some degree, but the divergence here matches being "set... free."

"Be with Me"
Some of the "free"s in "Be with Me" (in the sections starting at ~0:59 and ~1:57 and in the coda) are sung with various melismas. Musically, this gives a sense of the word's meaning since it's not constrained to a single pitch.

"Be with Me"
When I listened to Friends/20/20 yester-day, I also noticed a small thing in "Be with Me." In the lines "Ev'rything we will see / Ev'rything we will be," the three syllables of those "ev'rything"s are all sung to different pitches (C D Eb and Eb F G), musically giving a sense of breadth.
