"Untie Me"

In the line "And you don't want me anymore" in "Untie Me," the "-more" of "anymore" is sung with a melisma (B A G A B, I think), so while it's negated ("not... anymore"), there's a musical sense of continuation.

While referencing the recording in order to write this post, I also noticed that "ago" in the line "Not too long ago, you said you'd love me to the end" is also sung with a melisma (D F# E).  While this is also negated, that articulation gives a sense of duration or perhaps even degree (for that "too").

"Untie Me"

Earlier this year, I started a blog focused on the Hohner Pianet.  Last month, I posted the notation for the Pianet* part in "Untie Me," so I thought I'd better post it here too.

The Pianet simply doubles selected portions of the piano part.  Throughout the song, there are a handful of single D notes in the lower register (nearly two octaves below middle C), and this phrase is at ~2:20:

*According to some internet sources, Manfred Mann also played the Hohner Cembalet, but I haven't seen any evidence of this.  As far as I can tell, the only difference between the Cembalet and the Pianet is the range of the keyboard (the Cembalet is C to C where the Pianet is F to F).
