the whole song is gorgeous, but wow the last few minutes of "The Bird in the Gravel" are especially beautiful.

The production (and the production on her other 80s albums) might not be for everyone but imo it only further amplifies and foregrounds the emotional resonance and poignancy of the material

Yeah the way “the bird in the gravel” builds is nuts. She really earns that polyphonic “this is a whole world here” vibe.
