There's a melancholic feeling to the song with the minor key melody; the keyboard figure sounds like a Scots or Irish folk lament. I often think that melancholy filters through to the chorus: 'Save it (a prayer) til the morning after.. when the night's pleasure is done and we part even lonelier than we were before we met - then that is when we'll need all the help I can get. Much of 'Rio' is brash and optimistic but there is a hint of vulnerability to several of the songs which seals its appeal.
