"I'll Spend My Life with You"

Yester-day, I got the super deluxe edition of Headquarters in the mail.  I haven't listened to it yet, but while thinking about the album this morning, I realized something about "I'll Spend My Life with You."

The first half of the first verse contains opposites:

People come, and people go

Movin' fast and movin' slow

I'm in a crowd, yet I'm all alone

During the last of these lines, the pedal steel guitar plays a descending phrase and then an ascending phrase.  These opposite directions mirror the contrasts in the lyrics.
