   I have a bad habit of hearing Brian Wilson songs in other peoples'   
   work, but the construction of this song reminds me a lot of "Good   
   Vibrations". The opening of the song is one long note, a sigh or   
   expression, followed by a few instrumental notes, then on from there.   
   Also there is a series of instrumental breaks with crescendos, and so   
   on.  I realize there are an nearly infinite number of ways to string   
   sections like this together, but for pop 45s, the two songs have lot in   
   common.
