I love hearing the last track as a sort of calming sign-off after the earlier madness. Joni Mitchell's simple reflection is pretty different from many of her earlier intricate lyrical constructions, but simplicity is fine, on a ride home with the one you love.
Hope you find something to charm you in this mish-mash. If so, leave a note!
See you on Monday!
