“Up there’s a heaven
Down there’s a town
Blackness everywhere and little lights shine
Oh, blackness, blackness dragging me down
Come on light the candle in this poor heart of mine

Oh starbright, starbright
You’ve got the lovin’ that I like, all right
Turn this crazy bird around
I shouldn’t have got on this flight tonight”

—Joni Mitchell, from This Flight Tonight, on the album Blue, 1971. Later covered in a rock ’n’ roll style by Nazareth.
