"Hawaii"

A couple days after I listened to the live version of "Hawaii" on 1967: Sunshine tomorrow, I was thinking about the song again, and I realized that in the line "I heard about all the pretty girls with their grass skirts down to their knees," the phrase "down to their knees" is sung to a descending group of notes (F Eb Db C), musically giving a sense of that "down."

In "Hawaii," "far and near" in the line "Surfer guys and girls will be comin' from far and near" is a merism.
