I have no facts to add to this thread although I've really enjoyed the discussion. I just wanted to say that aesthetically speaking, my favorite part of that song is that arpeggiated chord she plays on the piano the measure before she sings "She tapes her regrets to the microphone stand..." Sometimes Joni will just pull out this little piece of wonderful out of nowhere, somekind of strange modulating chord that is just beautiful, and I think this is one of those spots. Another great modulation I like from her is in "Blue" right before she sings "Everybody's saying that Hell's the hippest way to go out..." Just gorgeous. Abby
