Talk:Comin' Back to Me

On this song, Grace Slick played the recorder and her performance was brilliant and a key to the mood and success of this song. And, as far as I know, this was the only song ever recorded with her playing that instrument. Can anyone give an example of someone's only recorded performance with a particular instrument being so successful? 75.69.189.42 (talk) 02:31, 30 October 2010 (UTC)Will in New Haven75.69.189.42 (talk) 02:31, 30 October 2010 (UTC)Reply

Rhyme scheme edit

This song uses a rhyme scheme that I cannot remember the name of although I tried to look it up in this fine encyclopedia... it is composed of 3-line stanzas, and the first two lines of each stanza rhyme, and the third lines of each stanza rhyme, thus: AAB, CCB, DDB, etc. The "bridge" of the song is a four-line stanza rhymed XYXY. This may be worthy of mention in the article. 24.27.31.170 (talk) 04:13, 4 January 2012 (UTC) EricReply

In fact, the X lines of the bridge have internal rhyme, so you might say the bridge is XXY XXY where the X lines are shorter than the Y lines. The lyrics in this song range from the startling ("stoner") image of the first line "The summer had inhaled and held its breath too long" to ploddingly banal, as "What ever happened to wishes wished on a star". 24.27.31.170 (talk) 13:32, 4 January 2012 (UTC) EricReply
