Wow.... thank you, Noel. That is such a wonderful overview of lyrics and word classes and their relationship to placement and beats.

Being a neighbor, Jimmy Webb stops by for coffee often and I'll look at the clock are realize it was a dream and I'm late for work...

I'm a Pat Pattison fan, also, and have several of his books. He has some lengthy videos on YouTube, but it's too much for me to absorb, best for me to read about the fundamentals like your breakdown, before my mind wanders off.

As you all know, Jimmy Webb wrote a great book, Tunesmith, that is fascinating. You probably got into his chapters about the technical side of music, but I'm music illiterate, and I liked his stories and explanations of how pop songs need X, but Broadway songs needed Y.

Thanks again, Noel. Great stuff!
