"Both Sides Now" - Joni Mitchell

This is the later version from the same titled album. Vince Mendoza did the arrangement. He's 2 x awesome.

Joni is definitely a talent. Court and Spark is still a favorite of mine.

Here's another one that gets me every time:

YouTube - Jerry Jeff Walker-Desperados Waitin'...

I caught

this song on the radio today

and I kind of like it. I'm not a huge Bruce Springsteen fan and it's definitely a little 80's, but it's still kind of neat sounding.

Miss Sarajevo

- U2

This is from Passengers, a collection of tracks used for soundtracks. It really reminds me of my time working at Tower records in the late 90s while at school. It was a short time, but I worked with an interesting girl named Venus and an even more interesting guy named Kyle Shostakovitch who occasionally came to work in a cape and listened to Iannis Zenakis because he thought it was relaxing, not even I'm that nutty when it comes to music. I heard he made some fascinating 8mm films, but I never got to see any.

On a separate note, I knew a Bosnian girl in grad school who gave birth to her first son in a Serbian "detention" camp, surviving off dandelions soup picked from the yard. We Americans are so extraordinarily insulated from harshness that we are able to indulge some pretty . . . mmm, soft ideas about reality.

A great career as a real singer song writer. But for my dollar, it's the lesser known and earlier "Nebraska" album that is really great. Oh yeah, it will suck your will to live. Here's the lyrics from the title track "

Nebraska

". (Based on a true story.)

I saw her standin on her front lawn just twirlin her baton
Me and her went for a ride sir and ten innocent people died

From the town of lincoln nebraska with a sawed-off .410 on my lap
Through to the badlands of wyoming I killed everything in my path

I cant say that Im sorry for the things that we done
At least for a little while sir me and her we had us some fun

The jury brought in a guilty verdict and the judge he sentenced me to death
Midnight in a prison storeroom with leather straps across my chest

Sheriff when the man pulls that switch sir and snaps my poor neck back
You make sure my pretty baby is sittin right there on my lap

They declared me unfit to live said into that great void my soul
Be hurled
They wanted to know why I did what I did
Well sir I guess theres just a meanness in this world

For me, it's the lyrics, very poignant. Oh, and the deranged music.

My daughters are on Spring Break this week and are playing in their loft which is right outside of my office. It seems their favorite song right now is from the Disney Mania 6 CD. It is song 6 which is Real Gone by Billy Ray Cyrus. I've heard it about 20 times today.
