Thanks for this. Not being pedantic but I think the album is called 'Turbulent Indigo?" One of her best albums which also contains 'Night Ride Home' another great song.

@RobinAre3 nope two separate albums "Night Ride Home" – 3:21 "Passion Play (When All The Slaves Are Free)" – 5:25 "Cherokee Louise" – 4:32 "The Windfall (Everything for Nothing)" – 5:15 "Slouching Towards Bethlehem" – 6:54 (based on a poem - The Second Coming - by W.B. Yeats) "Come in from the Cold" – 7:31 "Nothing Can Be Done" – 4:53 (words by Joni Mitchell, music by Larry Klein) "The Only Joy in Town" – 5:11 "Ray's Dad's Cadillac" – 4:33 "Two Grey Rooms" – 3:57

I was going to do something like this with this song. but now I don't have to. Good job. I had not thought of using a fighter jet for a falcon. I liked that.

@RobinAre3 You better google that. Night ride home is from the Night ride home album. Don't worry, you are in no danger of being pedantic.
