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 Zombies' "Hung up on a Dream"
This afternoon I listened to the 30th anniversary edition of the Zombies' Odessey and Oracle, and I noticed something about "Hung up on a Dream." There's an interval of a fourth between "sights" and "above" in the line "And showed me strangest clouded sights above." "Sights" is sung to an A, and the two syllables of "above" are sung to D notes. The distance between the pitches of those notes helps to give a sense of the spatial distance mentioned in the lyric.
