Song for today

this song was played on the radio yesterday (unfortunately while I was driving). I''ve always loved Joni Mitchell''s work and suddenly realised that, since he left over two years ago, I''ve not listened to a single album of hers, or many of any other of my favourites for that matter. Anyway, being Christmas, this really got to me so I thought I''d share it so we can all have a weep together:

RIVER

It''s coming on Christmas
They''re cutting down trees
They''re putting up reindeer
And singing songs of joy and peace
Oh I wish I had a river I could skate away on

But it don''t snow here
It stays pretty green
I''m going to make a lot of money
Then I''m going to quit this crazy scene
Oh I wish I had a river I could skate away on

I wish I had a river so long
I would teach my feet to fly
I wish I had a river I could skate away on
I made my baby cry

He tried hard to help me
You know, he put me at ease
And he loved me so naughty
Made me weak in the knees
Oh, I wish I had a river I could skate away on

I''m so hard to handle
I''m selfish and I''m sad
Now I''ve gone and lost the best baby
That I ever had
I wish I had a river I could skate away on

Oh, I wish I had a river so long
I would teach my feet to fly
I wish I had a river
I could skate away on
I made my baby say goodbye

It''s coming on Christmas
They''re cutting down trees
They''re putting up reindeer
And singing songs of joy and peace
I wish I had a river I could skate away on

Can''t believe that I was the last one that posted on this ongoing thread. Just found another one of Joni''s songs that I think is quite relevant to lots of us on here:

You’ve changed
The sparkle in your eyes is gone
Your smile is just a careless yawn
You’re breaking my heart
You’ve changed

You’ve changed
Your kisses now are so blasé
You’re bored with me in every way
I can’t understand
You’ve changed

You’ve forgotten the words I love you
And the memories that we’ve shared
You’ve ignored all the stars up above you
I can’t realize that you ever cared
You’ve changed

You’re not the angel I once knew
No need to tell me, I know we’re through
It’s all over now
You’ve changed

You’ve forgotten the words I love you
And the memories that we’ve shared
You ignore all the stars up above you
I can’t realize that you ever cared
You’ve changed

You’re not the angel I once knew
No need to tell me, I know we’re through
It’s all over now
You’ve changed

Somebody dropped this into the chatroom recently.



Timeless, don''t you think?

All Zep songs are timeless, Stuka - and Robert Plant is still a honey

I heard this song on the radio today, and although I think the song is a bit dreadful, I like the sentiment behind it

Oooh crying already....

I''m trying to cope....

V.v. hard

Giant Mistake- Parlotones
Devilishly gorgeous temptress
She, she knew that I would
And elegantly wasted tasted more
More than I should

Was a giant mistake, gigantic
Was a giant mistake, gigantic
What the hell were we thinking
Were we thinking at all
What the hell did we believe we''d achieve
We stood there with our hearts exposed
As the others said I told you so
What the hell
What the hell

And elequently said the phrase that pays
But somehow, I''m still flat broke
And succulently licked four five six seven
Don''t leave me alone

Was a giant mistake, gigantic
Was a giant mistake, gigantic
What the hell were we thinking
Were we thinking at all
What the hell did we believe we''d achieve
We stood there with our hearts exposed
As the others said I told you so
What the hell
What the hell

What the hell were we thinking
Were we thinking at all
What the hell did we believe we''d achieve
We stood there with our hearts exposed
As the others said I told you so
What the hell
What the hell

What the hell were we thinking
Were we thinking at all
What the hell did we believe we''d achieve
We stood there with our hearts exposed
As the others said I told you so
What the hell
What the hell
