I often hear that Joni Mitchell's music has become the Soundtrack to ther
lives.
This is the first time I have written. I am young for the typical Joni
Mitchell fan I guess. Most of my friends have only heard of her because of
the woodstock footage that is shown every couple years on Much Music, so
needless to say I don't play her albums at parties much. However, she did,
infact become the soundtrack to my life.We were doing a poetry unit in class
and my teacher brought the lyrics to "Case of you" out and we studied her
for a few weeks.In a nutshell, Blue changed me.
Two summers ago, when I was in my last year of high school, I took a trip
with my philosophy class to Italy. That was around the time when I
discovered Blue, among many other records that my parents have in the
basement of my house. I relate with everything she is saying in Carey. I
understand completely who the woman is in the last time I saw Richard, which
coincidentally is my favourite song on the planet. I find that the entire
album was sort of a release. It is a soundtrack for the wandering spirit. In
my humble opinion.
I have noticed that there is a lot of Radiohead conversation going on with
the mailing list too. For Patrick, I think (?) if you are at all interested
in Thom Yorke, there are many more bands he has worked with besides PJ
Harvey. REM, Bjork, UNKLE, the posies, sparklehorse...I believe that he is
one of the most gifted musicians I have ever heard, and it is amazing that I
would find the two most important people musically in my life on the same
discussion mailing list.
And Richard Isen...is he anything like Rufus Wainwright?
I would really like to know.

PS:
There is a Tori Amos cover of Case of You that you can download on
Napster...it is really beautiful, I would recommend it :)
