"Young Man's Game"

The first phrase in "Young Man's Game" is "New day rising," and as if to reflect that "rising," this phrase ascends (B D E F#).

In the line "Find something unique to say," the second (rather than the first) syllable of "something" is emphasized, and to some degree, this illustrates that "unique[ness]."

"Life" in the line "For all my life" is sung with a melisma (F# E D), musically giving a sense of the entirety of that "all."
