i know this is futile, but i just can't help myself...lol... i agree FTR has james all over it but that doesn't exclude blue from being about him too, ...blue is a song about being IN a relationship as opposed to being written in the wake of one (like FTR)... i bet she wrote blue during her recording of blue or just before ..we know she was incredibly emotionally fragile at this time which i can imagine her relationship with james played a part in...
i don't know anything about david blue or his relationship with joni but it sure doesn't seem to be joni's style to be so obvious...(she wrote her song to graham using his nickname willy, i see blue as her sad nickname for james...whoever it is for, its a deeply hurting in the middle or heading towards the end of a relationship love song.... jerry >>I have always felt this way, also. But I have been corrected on the list to say that FTR was the album Joni wrote about her relationship with James.<< bill >>I always figured it to be David Blue.<< mags >>....i always thought sweet baby james was her boy o' blue<<< ******************************************** Kate Bennett: www.katebennett.com Sponsored by Polysonics/Atlantis Sound Labs Over the Moon- "bringing the melancholy world of twilight to life almost like magic" All Music Guide ********************************************
