Oh geez, David. This is just breathtaking. "These are the chords you learn when you never learn." Gah! There is a lot of never learning there - in the keys, in the song, and in one's hands. I wish I knew how to get in touch - I would love to send you an essay (not mine) that this does that mental connect-the-dots with this for me, but really you have read everything so I am sure you have already read it. Also I read this while listening to my firstborn DJ his show at his little SUNY college radio station, because music, and the combo is overwhelming. So impressed.
This is beautiful. It made me think of this song 'In His Car' I found on a compilation record of girl groups as a young teenager in the mid 80s and really loved - not exactly a cover but more a revisioning - it came out the year after. When I first heard the real thing I thought it was a rip off of this .... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o4cVtlPvR4g

And thank you!
I'm listening now--so dreamy
In my room is such a great song. Always loved it. Great job tying all these associations together.
Thank you!
