What do you mean by that third?
That makes sense / I can see where you're coming from but also. Why does she have to be either a pop artist or a folk bard?she's an eclecticist. musical centrism. bit of folk, bit of jazz, bit of trad pop, post-war angst. Her best album is precisely when she's most tied to a folk tradition, but its still read through the prism of artistry. but folk music isn't about artists. True folk music I mean. not as a genre.
As someone who is tied to a certain folk tradition it is kind of awkward to talk about her. Is she a pop artist or the bard of her community? I def think the former, ultimately. Which is why its ironic that she disses free music. Surely you don't want to live under a medieval communitarian society?
Are all these responses on first listen?JONI COURT AND SPARK
Help Me- damn makes me feel like a girl the way this song is touching me in current situations
free man in paris- im glad joni is expanding herself musically.
People's Parties- there are certain songs i can just picture joni thinking of lyrics in her head when she was bored at laurel canyon parties.
the same situation-
You've had lots of lovely women
Now you turn your gaze to me
Weighing the beauty and the imperfection
To see if I'm worthy
Like the church
Like a cop
Like a mother
You want me to be truthful
Sometimes you turn it on me like a weapon though
And I need your approval
i could picture her or other women saying this to me. im still upset by a woman so i wont be budged.
Car on a hill- ok as this album progresses, im really impressed musically with what joni is doing here, pushing for a more ambitious and atmospheric sound. i respect it.
Down to you- she mas
Just like this train- low standards "Watching your hairline recede, my vain darling"
raised on robbery- damn this song is kinda a bop.
troubled child- hate the baseline, overall too much going on in this song.
Twisted- thumbs down
solid album, appreciate the extended ambition, but prob the second worst.
