This is a very interesting thread. Why, out of all her songs including songs
in about every imaginable genre, including the genre of all these different
players, do they pick Both Sides Now.
This gets to the core of what any song really is. A musical transmission of
ideas concepts images and feelings. Now its interesting how all these people
who may be only into one form or style all gravitate to this one song would
have to mean that there is something in the structure of those three chords
that hits smack dab into the mainstream of THEIR music. Emphasis on the word,
their. The musical structure embedded in their musical minds contains
something that finds attraction in those three simple little major chords.
The inverse question being why the others do in a lesser way. If Hejira is
such an incredible song to most listeners why arent all these other musicians
of all these other styles doing Hejira. Why does or better yet how does this
happen.
