. . . and then climaxes when Stevie’s voice returns. That’s the moment that makes everything before it rewarding; her vocals at the end feel even more intense than usual because of the self-control she has during most of the track.

The sense of urgency in her voice in that last movement is to me one of the most compelling things she has ever done. I agree it is made glorious by the monotony (sp.? and meant in a good way) of the song in general. It is as if she is awakening out of the trance like state she was in while looking all the way to Point Doom (sp.?) and crying out, perhaps to God, for help. No singer I know can have this effect - perhaps Annie Lenox comes close, but the way she does it is very very different (see "Why," "Little Bird," and the new LOTR song for good examples).
