| In addition to this
being one of the only successful waltzes of the beat era, the song also
has a curious musical structure. Notably, the length of verses telescopes
in the second half of the recording. For example, they abbreviate the
first part of the verse (verse p1) from the piano solo onwards. The change
might have been an attempt to shorten the song. The recording is already
over three minutes, which is very long for this period. However, this
telescoping has the effect of building tension towards the end of the
recording. |
