Hi Bob, Seems a few on list are listening to this album today.

After reading your post this morning, I did the same thing Bob. I put on the album and pulled out the sleeve for the words. I totally agree about "Come in From the Cold." It seems so obvious, I wonder how or why she felt the need to go on and on. Nothing Can Be Done, is just okay with me.

Yes, even if we change that story, we find a way to fit ourselves in and embellish from there. For some reason this song also reminds me of a short story, which as per usual I can't remember the exact title, "To Room 19?" I can't remember the author either, but I bet someone here will know. Dare I say Katherine Porter? As I listen to it it just popped into my head, couldn't help it. > And has she ever written a "meaner" lyric than: > > "You'd eat your young alive, > For A Jaguar in the drive" > (From "The Windfall(Everything For Nothing)) > > I don't mean that as a negative statement - it's a brilliant lyric because of > its impact. It is a great line Bob, I totally understand. It's lines like this that can somehow make the whole song stronger as well.

I think it's got shades of old Joni melodically speaking and it's a well produced song, mostly cause it's not over produced, seems to me. I'm sure this Joni treasure will be featured prominently on my stereo the next week or two. Peace, Susan Yahoo! Health - your guide to health and wellness http://health.yahoo.com
