hi
i really find it impossible to believe that in all the talk about "best"
albums, no one has mentioned shadows & light
am i in a minority of 1 on this??
tho i must add that i dont really think that any album can be categorised as
*best*, but it can be categorised as "as favourite and most relevant to me"
and as for those who favour the older works, perhaps i could very loosely
quote a song sung by joan baez (i know the lyric, and the tune, but have no
clue as to what song/album - go figure!!)
"theres a comfort in the teaching of the old familiar songs...."
(and a sorrow in repeating all the old familiar wrongs)
(please forgive me if i got it wrong - i dont have access to my cds right
now to check it)
and on the subject of s&l and lyrics HELP!!
"the perils of benefactors,
the blessings of parasites...."
even after 20 years of loving the song, i suddenly looked at it from both
sides......
is it
the perils of (having/being) benefactors
the blessings of (having/being) parasites
or is it a case of joni putting in a dual meaning so the listener can take
whichever is relevant to them, while only she knows which is relevant to her
personally??
believe it or not - that gave me one very restless night - perhaps this list
is teaching me to think a bit ??.....
