Here's an interesting video analysis of The Hissing of Summer Lawns (song) lyrics. Bit.ly/1aMK3Ey I would love to see more of these videos. Lyrical analysis is fine in text format, but it can be difficult for non-musicians to understand. - -Betsy > Ha, Corey!

As Jim said there is the Lloyd Whitesell book that gets a bit too exhaustive even for the keen student. Joni's music is often an odd mix of pedestrian and highly original, and the fact that she may not know which was which makes it all the more interesting. I believe she trusted her "feelers" so much that no other guidelines were needed or heeded. > > Dave > > > On Aug 27, 2013, at 9:37 AM, Corey Blake wrote: > > > Dave, I love this stuff.
