This goes on for over 8 minutes, with the same 8-bar la-la-la refrain for the majority of that length. Does it get old? Nope! For me, it recontextualizes the jam just enough to keep it interesting. Somehow, because of this, I find it less repetitive than other long-form tracks on Stevie's iconic double album, tracks like "Isn't She Lovely" and "Black Man." I'm even more impressed at how optimistically this song presents the familiar plight of unrequited love. It's pretty poignant as a closer in an album dedicated almost entirely to the subject of love.
Fin.
