30.  2:02- Bridge A drum fill introduces a lyric-less bridge/solo which is antic ally led by electric piano. After 4 measures an electric guitar solo takes over and eventually resolves into a version of the intro vamp with the bass, electric guitar, electric piano and no drums.

31.  0:38- Chorus The chorus continues with solo piano and vocal lead and adds a (boys quire) of oohs and ahh's over the piano progression.  1:19- Chorus Second chorus is a livelier version of the first with the addition of a drums and a lead vocal sung with a bit more energy. The second chorus is four measures longer than the first which allows it to take on a very uplifting tone.

32.  0:00- Introduction  The intro is led by a simple harmonica solo which is accompanied by drums, bass and an acoustic guitar being strummed softly in the background. The intro sorts out seamlessly into the chorus which follows.

33.  0:57 B-part  When the song's monotony becomes too obvious, this b-section relieves the back and forth feeling the rest of the song is flooded with. The arrangement and instrumentation does not change in this section but it does end abruptly for a couple of beats at the end of the section. This abrupt ending serves to reset the song in a way that, again, seems to break up the melodic monotony.

34.  1:25 Second b-part  This section is a repeat of the first b-part with one difference. The harmonica takes the place of the lead vocals and harmony vocals as it is played across an melodically identical version of the first b-section.

35.  0:14- Verse 1  The guitar continues to drive the rhythm alone and deep lyrics are introduced that seem to serve as both information into how the song should be received and as the melody as well.

36.  2:13- Verse 3  The verse breaks down nearly all the energy that was present and building throughout the last chorus and only the strings and the acoustic guitar remain. This arrangement seems to make the information that the lyrics are trying to get across important again as there is much less movement in the instrumentation even though the main instruments are still present.
