"When Will I Be Loved"

In "When Will I Be Loved," "'round" in the line "I've been pushed 'round" is sung with a melisma (D C A), giving something of a sense of movement.

The clause "it happens every time" in the bridge is sung with different articulations to give a sense of frequency.  In the first bridge, "time" is sung with a melisma (D E E D C, I think).  In the second bridge, "every" is sung with three syllables, and "time" has a different melisma (B G).
