I quite like this folk form. Amelia has always reminded me of Poe's The Raven
with that haunting refrain, "Amelia, it was just a false alarm", "Quoth the
raven, nevermore". I've had Fairports version of Dylans "Percy's Song" on my
mind for two weeks now. Love that song. B I'll have to check out Matty Groves.
Some day I'd like to hear Marianne Faithfull's "Amelia". She reminds me of
Joni in that her signature song, "As Tears Go By" was sung and written when
she was a beautiful, young girl, though it fits an older person singing it,
like Joni with BSN. Hey Bob M., if you're reading, you probably know Dylan is
going to be in Greenville soon. Are you going to hear him belt out his Sinatra
songs? Since its the "Never Ending Tour" there shouldn't be any hurry to see
him, you have forever!Jeff

Subject: "Both Sides Now", was Re Live Joni

Yeah, in that song, she explains the entire mystery of Life in 3 minutes.  It's incredibly ambitious.  Only deep thinkers "get" it.
The song "Hejira" is like that too- so deep.  (Or is it superficial, between the forceps and the stone?)

To the casual listener, "Both Sides Now" is a sentimental "woman's song" where she almost rhymes moon and June.  (rows and flows).

<Everything about Joni is complicated.>

Yes, immensely complicated.  That's why most don't get it and yet, but it's also why we still listen, after all this time.  That duality thing cuts both ways.

ps, "Both Sides Now" is so complicated, it had 3 titles that I know of.  (And you know, there may be more.)

  
From: Jeff Clark<clarkjeff440@ymail.com>
>Its funny about that song. Her first really big song and its usually included
as the last song on her various compilations. Its like the alpha and omega of
Joni songs. Judy Collins thinks its one of the most perfect songs ever
written, lots of people do, and I do too. Yet I can see how it could be
anti-climatic. I remember a time at work some years back, a co-worker and I
talking about music and I mentioned Joni as my boss was walking by and she
said, "is she the one that sang rows and flows of angel hair?" I didn't feel
it appropriate at the time to give a 10 minute "mini lesson" on who Joni
*really*  is despite the slight condescending vibe I picked up. I remember when
Hits and Misses came out. It seemed cooler to prefer the "misses" over the
"hits", kind of like preferring Lennon over McCartney. I always stuck up for
McCartney. I know Joni has said she has written many songs that she is much
more proud of, yet BSN in a way I think will always be her signature song,
even though Judy Collins took it over. Everything about Joni is
complicated.Jeff<>

Particularly if you're counting titles in non-English languages. Then 
you're up to a couple dozen.
