Another Week
When it is all bad news I’ll just try to put some stuff in here that isn’t all bad.
Album of The Week
Blue - Joni Mitchell (1971)
“Reading the news and it sure looks bad
They won’t give peace a chance
That was just a dream some of us had”
“I remember that time you told me, you said
”Love is touching souls”
Surely you touched mine”
This album was largely written during a vacation from touring when Mitchell took some time to relax in Crete. Like all great women who make art the album is said to be largely inspired by her former boyfriends and boyfriend at the time James Taylor. Some of the songs are said to be written about specific people she had dated as if being the inspiration for a song about how hard it is to date you is the harder part then actually writing a great song.
Can’t Do Much
“When you’re missing me or what you see
Something wild that you think you’ll never be
Something safe that you could tend to and lead
Something versatile to fill all your needs”
In My Time of Dying
“Well, in my time of dying don’t want nobody to mourn
All I want for you to do is take my body home”
Kill Dragon
“Before the plague ruined my life”
Real Death
“It’s dumb, and I don’t want to learn anything from this
I love you”
