starts singing and we hear the sounds of more helicopters going by, though the sounds of

the song do not seem to relate rhythmically to what's happening in the scene. All sounds,

at this point, are getting louder and more complex, giving us a feeling of excitement and

realism, witnessing this in front of us. At the most intense point of this sound montage,

Morrison's voice stops and we are subjected to just the sound of the drums from the song

and the loudening helicopters from the scene. The helicopters fade out and the drums

seem to have a solo. All the sounds, the song, the helicopters, now slowly come to end by

the whop sound of an overhead ceiling fan, which we see in the scene.
