Every other year, I listen to all of the music in my collection. Often, I discover new things about music I'm familiar with or learn new things about songs I'm not as familiar with. This is where I'll be documenting that.

The Who's "Long Live Rock"
To-day I listened to the second disc of a compilation album of The Who. For the third time in about a month, I found an "every" that's sung as three syllables instead of the usual two. Here, it's in the chorus of "Long Live Rock." The first line is "Long live rock; I need it every night." The emphatic three-syllable pronunciation of that "every" intensifies the singer/speaker's need.
