What would you think of my suggestion that it describes being raped and then being back in the pub setting....possibly falling pregnant (anima rising, uprising in me tonight )...him saying "we walked on the moon, be polite" and the other lines are about disillusionment -"the truth going up in vapors"... and "God goes up the chimney"....(I thought she sang " the good slaves LEFT the good book"?)...possibly the rape is a death, that leads to a birth...there are many phrases I don't understand, for instance" petrified wood process, tall timber down to rock)...then it ends of by saying , you need a heart like Mary when your man gets weak.......after being raped, either there is capitulating terror, and/or all love focusses on the child. I am slightly anxious to present such a way-out interpretation-no doubt it will be unwelcome to some...I simply must and have to a degree learnt not to be too affected by what others may think of me( I think Joni would approve though). So here I present this interpretation,..... and I will just 'let the wind carry me'. > Date: Fri, 6 Jun 2014 14:53:44 -0400 > From: owner-joni-digest@smoe.org > To: joni-digest@smoe.org > Subject: JMDL Digest V2014 #807 > > > JMDL Digest Friday, June 6 2014 Volume 2014 : Number 807 > > > > ========== > > TOPICS and authors in this Digest: > -------- > Don't interrupt the Sorrow ["johnnybgoode@lineone.net" > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Date: Fri, 6 Jun 2014 19:53:08 +0100 (BST) > From: "johnnybgoode@lineone.net" > Subject: Don't interrupt the Sorrow > > Ingrid, > > In rough terms I see it as being about: > > Relationships and > male and female roles, Sexism and feminism. > > Religion, Power over > others, and desire for Freedom. > > The endless cycles of personal > frustration without real progress or improvement, > > and the need to take > personal responsibility, despite temptation, disappointment and > personal weakness. > > Lyrics below > > John > > http://jonimitchell.com/music/song.cfm?id=105 > > ------------------------------ > > End of JMDL Digest V2014 #807 > ***************************** > > ------- > To post messages to the list,sendtojoni@smoe.org. > Unsubscribe by clicking here: > mailto:joni-digest-request@smoe.org?body=unsubscribe > ------- ------------------------------ End of JMDL Digest V2014 #808 ***************************** ------- To post messages to the list,sendtojoni@smoe.org.
