**e.g. what songs do you think it would be important for me to look at within this context?**
Welcome to you, Immy! And good luck with the thesis. We've helped a couple of other thesis-writers in times past...A couple of songs I would throw out there for you to look at: Woman Of Heart & Mind (For The Roses) Jericho (Don Juan's Reckless Daughter) Hejira (Hejira) Of course, brilliant Joni songs about relationships would make for a VERY long list. Also as far as I know there is no mention of pachyderms in any of these tracks! ;~) Bob
