So much talent, the scat at the end in harmony shows just a portion of Janis Ian's vast range, her guitar and piano voicings take your emotions to deep levels!.
One of the lesser-known and most under-rated of Janis' songs. Just listen to the words. It's about the way we all fall in love with our own image of the other person, not the reality. A devastating take on human relationships. I think the slightly longer version on the CD 'Stars' is even better.
@dutchbonnet I agree, this is one of my favorite songs. Janis Ian is very under-rated - period. She was an inspiration during the earlier years of American expressions with freedom and artistry. Janis was one of the last true and best singer-song writers of our generation.
Love Janis!!! She is like fine red wine, she gets better with age!

Janis Ian is an awesome ball of talent. (Does anyone else think that the first two minutes of this sound like a Fleetwood Mac tune?)

That whole album "Stars" is inspirational, and this is one of the great songs on it. Janis Ian is a truly wonderful singer-songwriter.

Is it ironic that Janis Ian--a lesbian--recorded such a beautiful song about her love for a man?
