If you open up the competition to EVERY song she recorded, it'd be hard to top "At Last". Bob NP: Walter TV, "One Sweet Neo" Perhaps so, Bob, but if I wanted "At Last" played at a wedding, Joni's version would not be the one I'd choose.

Just watched it twice. How on earth do you get an entire orchestra to perform on a late night talk show for one song!? So incredible and beautiful to watch. On Wednesday, September 24, 2014 9:37 PM, Mark wrote: In the later years of her life Joni has been saying that romantic love is a trick. The physical attraction is the main thing that pulls you into something that is often ephemeral. She sees real 'Love' as what is described in the song she adapted from Corinthians. Although I speak in tongues of men and angels I'm just sounding brass and tinkling cymbals Without love Love suffers long Love is kind! Enduring all things Hoping all things Love has no evil in mind If I had the gift of prophecy and all knowledge And the faith to move the mountains Even if I understood all of mysteries If I didn't have love I'd be nothing Love never looks for love Love's not puffed up or envious or touchy Because it rejoices in the truth not in iniquity Love sees like a child sees As a child I spoke as a child I thought and I understood as a child But when I became a woman I put away childish things And began to see through a glass darkly Whereas a child I saw it fact to face Now I only know it in part Fractions in me of faith and hope and love And of these great three Love's the greatest beauty Sometimes that kind of love grows out of the initial 'trick' of physical attraction. It doesn't ever seem to have happened for Joni Mitchell but I get the feeling that she's made her peace with that. My wish and hope for her is that she's found it with her daughter and her grandchildren.

You're better off with a few cats. ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 25 Sep 2014 07:57:39 -0400 From: Bob.Muller@Fluor.com Subject: Re: One More Try Well, I would never think SOSC for a wedding song. "A Woman Must Have Everything" ? "Harder and harder just to be nice"? "Any man in the world holding out his arm would soon be made to pay"? "Lovers in anger - block of ice"? Really? At a wedding? Is it a shotgun wedding? "Love" would be my #1 choice with "Jericho" a close second. Bob NP: The Mountain Goats, "Lovecraft in Brooklyn" From: Laura Stanley To: "joni@smoe.org" , Date: 09/24/2014 09:47 PM Subject: One More Try Sent by: owner-joni@smoe.org I have tried to send an email to the list twice, but it doesn't show up so this is my final attempt. I am wondering what Joni song ya'll would recommend to me as a song to dance to at my son's wedding Nov. 22nd? Ideas? I'm thinking Shades of Scarlett Conquering so far...
