"Heroes and Villains"

I listened to the first disc of The SMiLE Sessions Deluxe Edition box set this morning and noticed a small feature in "Heroes and Villains."  The phrase "head to toe" is a merism.

"Here Today"

In the line "Well, you know I hate to be a downer" in "Here Today," "downer" is sung to a pair of descending notes (B F#), giving something of a sense of its meaning.

In the line "Tomorrow it's here and gone so fast," "fast" is sung with a melisma (D B), giving a sense of degree (for "so").

"I'm Waiting for the Day"

In "I'm Waiting for the Day," "free" in the line "To set your broken heart free" is sung with a melisma (B A G#).  Since the word isn't constrained to a single syllable, there's a sense of its meaning.

"So" in the line "And that you still loved him so" is sung with this same melisma, but in this instance it gives a sense of degree.  (I'd noted this before, but I didn't include the specific pitches in that post, which was so badly written that I removed it.)

"Don't Talk (Put Your Head on My Shoulder)"

In "Don't Talk (Put Your Head on My Shoulder)," "right" in the line "Being here with you feels so right" is sung with a melisma (C Bb A), musically giving a sense of degree (for "so").

"Wouldn't It Be Nice"

I listened to The Pet Sounds Sessions box set recently and noticed a handful of features.  "Wouldn't It Be Nice" contains an instance of polysyndeton, a rhetorical effect in which conjunctions are repeated:  "Maybe if we think and wish and hope and pray it might come true."  Having "and" so many times isn't strictly necessary, but its repetition gives a sense of the earnestness of those actions.

Additionally, the musical rhythm of this line is such that "think," "wish," "hope," and "pray" all occur on downbeats, and this also provides emphasis.

"Don't Worry Baby"

I noticed two features in the line "Ev'rything will turn out alright" in "Don't Worry Baby."  The three syllables of "Ev'rything" are each sung to a different pitch (E# F# G#), musically giving a sense of breadth.  The "al-" of "alright" is sung with a melisma (I think it's D# E# D#), giving a sense of entirety.
