"Slip on Through"

A couple months ago, I finally got Feel Flows: The Sunflower & Surf's Up Sessions - 1969-1971.  I've listened to it twice so far, and I noticed a handful of features to note, but for now, I'm sticking to the songs from the original albums.  I'd like to become more familiar with the extra tracks before I write about them.

In the chorus of "Slip on Through," the line "All my life" is sung to notes that span more than an octave.  "All" is sung to a B, and "my life" is sung to D notes an octave a part.  This span gives a musical sense of the entirety of "all."

Near the end of the song (at ~1:56), "life" is held at a single pitch for a measure and a half and then trails off with a descending melisma, and these features (the long note value and the extra pitches) also give a sense of the breadth of "all."
