A modulation from G Major or Ab Major transitions from the traditional sound in verse one to more of a swing style in verse two. The piano part is sparse and simple up to that point as well. Graded above Intermediate due to some chromatic movement as well as rhythmic and melodic variations. A confident group could perform the SATB arrangement (and possibly the three-part arrangements) a cappella. Duration approx. 3:50. SAB is featured in the video.
