There is a sweetness and ease in Help Me that Joni has on no other song. The thing about Joni's singing, is that, even if you don't care for the song, she nails it. So for me there are many highs; a seemingly effortless ability to glide through a melody, no matter how difficult.
I love NRH almost from start to finish, but noticed that Joni's voice seems kind of frail and quiet, coming through as breath without sound at points. When she returned with TI, the raspy quality remained, but somehow, she sounds stronger to me. Anyone else notice this? But I would still not call this a "low". Ken
