There are a few songs where the lead guitar communicates vibe and emotion better than any vocal you could apply to a song. This is one of those songs. I have heard criticism of GM saying that he is guilty of "over-playing", and in some cases it may be true. But this is one of those rarities where every note, every lick is timed, spaced, and played just perfectly, where the whole is much greater than the sum of it's parts.
Also, the melody is the same as the chorus in Lionel Richie's "Hello".
