I must agree with you, Jim. There is a special intensity to Rode Ode coming up right after Crystal Lullabye. It definitely makes a statement. It's just a beautiful song. I like the melody, and of course, Karen's voice is unparalled! I think you called it an "urgency" which is very descriptive of her sound in this tune. A sence of longing - of urgency. Right you are! Rode Ode just speaks to me - it always has. What a wonderfully crafted tune. Ciao! Tim

I must come back and add my two cents again. I originally purchased the "A Song For You" album sometime in 1972 and I never realized that "Crystal Lullaby" blended into "Road Ode". It wasn't until a year later when I listened to the album with headphones on. I listened to those two songs with the ASFY reprise over and over again just because the songs blended so very well together. I was in complete awe of this. Funny thing is as much as I did love "Road Ode" it wasn't until about 1995 that I realized just exactly what a powerful and intense song it is. At that point it became one of my ultimate favorite C's songs.
