"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.

"Don't Worry Baby"
A couple days ago, I listened to the Surfer Girl/Shut Down Volume 2 two-albums-on-one-CD re-issue, and I noticed a small thing about "Don't Worry Baby," specifically the first line: "Well, it's been building up inside of me for I don't know how long." The melody to which "building up inside of me" is sung ascends (B B C# C# D# D# E), so there's a musical representation of that "building up."
