Precisely how songs resonate in memory - the pictures both on & off cover, the places where heard, the people with whom, the way the sun shone on the day, sights on inner landscapes, smells of what we were smoking, tastes of what eating, yearnings & desires - all the synaesthetic qualities.

Listened to both and very much enjoyed. One thing I find so incredible about Natural Woman is that the lyrics were written by her ex Gerry Goffin... now that's a co-write! Also one tidbit about Court & Spark is that the Jack mentioned in People's Parties is Jack Nicholson! Anyway... on to The Roches episode!
