Often folk music can be so ‘nice’ it’s nausiatingly sugar coated. This little bomb Joni Mitchell set off under the church of Rome in Ireland certainly wasn’t.
And this is the commercial release of the same song. It’s the only time I’ve ever encountered a Fairlight (?) sounding like steam, and claustrophobic steam at that.
Maybe this little dittie doesn’t belong on this section of the forum but then again I’m hard pressed to guess where it does belong given it has so much in common with german art song (lieder).
In a way Joni’s music has always been with me but of late I find myself reduced to tears by so much of her work, especially this number.

Forum Moderation is often no more than small minded tyranny.
