I'm a singer, and this is one of my favorite songs to sing. There has been so much to learn from this song. Firstly is Joe's pure light tones. The lyrics have a gentle rhythm, which lends to the overall romantic feeling. He does a lot of little things that perhaps some listeners do not notice. He throws in a lot of little softly percussive sounds (uh, oh, ah, mm, no, so, yeah), as well as subtle audible rhythmic breath in between phrases. And he recorded like a dozen tracks to form the super-smooth chorus and harmony, which there's obviously no way to do live with one singer.
