That's great. Never heard that before. She knows her way around a heartbreaker, Dusty. She can bring out the tragedy without belting, just like when she does 'If You Go Away'.

I like the way the lyrics are so restrained, with so much of the meaning unspoken, while the strings are heaving around underneath them like a tempest of inner turmoil . Terrific arrangement.

Those lyrics are so good that it mad me wonder whether I should give Janis Ian another try. Any thoughts / tips?
