Melody: Fairly conjunct, there aren't many leaps. The singing can be both syllabic and melismatic.

Rhythm: There is no clear pulse or rhythm. No clear time signature. Slow tempo.

Harmony:
No chords at the beginning. Eventually strings are added very quietly. They seem to be playing just 1 solid chord continuously. The vocal parts is also sometimes doubled.

Instruments: Synthesisers playing peculiar sounds, strings.

Texture: Strange, peculiar sound effects are heard at the the beginning. Strings are eventually added. A whole new section is heard with just a Cello (playing staccato) and the vocal part.

Structure: ABA.

Melody: The melodies are all clearly improvised and very disjunct. Glissandi is created (sax). Obscure intervals are visited. appoggiaturas (sax).

Rhythm: Common time with a jazzy, swing like feel.

Tonality/Harmony: The tonality is very difficult to make out. It is atonal, there is no clear major or minor passages. For the majority of the song, there aren't chords as such.

Instruments: Saxophones, trumpets, a piano and a drum kit.

Texture:
There is a recurring riff which seems to be a sort of bass line. This riff is at the beginning to which it then builds up. At one point every solo instrument plays their own melody in unison. (massively polyrhythmic, they are all very different). A piano plays chords from time to time which is the only real accompaniment. There is also basic percussion.

Structure: Improvised solos for several choruses.

Melody: The 'honky tonk' piano, the clarinet and the electric guitar all share solo parts which is typical of jazz. The melodies are all improvised. A lot of disjunct movement heard particularly with the clarinet. Strange and more obscure intervals are visited.

Rhythm: A clear 4/4 with a swing feel. Syncopation common.

Harmony: There is a mixture of dominant 7ths and major sevenths all with added notes to form less conventional chords. The dominant 7ths are used mainly to end phases.

Instruments: The honkey tonk piano, thehe clarinet which is slightly less conventional. (not entirely sure it's a clarinet). There is a clean sounding electric guitar which comes and goes. A brass instrument is heard at the end. possibly a cornet.

Texture: The honkey tonk piano is the main accompanying instrument, but does have more melodic, less chordal parts. The clarinet plays most of the melody. There is a clean sounding electric guitar which also plays a melody.

Structure:
No typical structure. There only seem to be solo sections, which are shared between all the instruments.

Melody
* The main vocal line is often melismatic
* It is a conjunct melody but with the occasional large leap. For example, the end of the second line of the verse ‘you give your love so sweetly’ there is a leap of a 6th up to so sweetly and is an emotive interval
* King uses vibrato in her voice to add interest to the vocal line
* King also uses improvisational grace notes which are not written on the music for example ‘can I believe the magic of your sights’
Harmony
* Backing vocals join in the bridge and create a 3 part harmony
* The backing vocals also provide an echo effect on ’When the night’
* The last verse changes melody to create a more effective harmony
* Conventional harmony, all from scale of C and some added notes to chords. Chords used = C, F, G7, C, G, E, E7, Am - verses and used throughout but some changed to add variety. E is also used in the bridge.

* The song ends with a diminuendo creating a fade out effect, there is no exact ending to the music
Tonality
* C major

* Very functional
Instruments
* Intro - the piano starts solo joined by the guitar and then a subtle drum beat and finally the voice comes in. This creates a layering up of instruments.
* The focus is mainly on the voice for the whole piece.
Rhythm
* 4/4
* Pulse kept by a quiet drum beat
