Music that sounds like the lyrics
jbrownsjr's comment in another thread that Christine's keyboards in the outro to Crystal sound like the waves of the "sea" being referred to in the lyrics made me think of other moments when the music has sounded like the lyrics.
Albatross is literally just music designed to sound like the word in the title, and does a killer job of it
Dreams has a pre-chorus cymbal crash that coincides with the lyric "Thunder"
You Make Loving Fun has the tinkling chimes when Chris sings the word "magic"
Silver Springs (carpark version) has that wavering guitar that sounds like a flowing river
Sara has a rhythm part throughout that's akin to a heartbeat
Storms has a subtle drum roll near the end that sounds like thunder
Tango In The Night has a guitar glissando that evokes "the wind on the water"
Goodbye Baby has a metronome-like percussion evocative of the references to hourglasses and time
As subjective as it is, I'm sure there are many other instances.
Which have you noticed?
(Need not be limited to the Rumours lineup.)
