I think you're probably right...the chord change almost sets up the nature of the intellectual soul-searching that is the nature of the song.

Joni's said that composing "BSN" was a quick affair, inspired by reading Saul Bellow's "Henderson The Rain King". Bob NP: The Pipe Dream, "Night In The City"
