    Post number 210 in this thread. Read the last sentence you posted. Obviously I didn't quite understand what you were saying.
    It's always something.

    I posted a "live" version of this song and it's bugged me ever since . it just didn't have the nuance of the org. rec. that I fell in lust with.

    I smile and laugh every time this comes up on my shuffle music list. First time I've seen her perform I'm not disappointed, or I wouldn't be posting this

    Shadows And Light
    by Joni Mitchell

    [​IMG]
    [​IMG]
    Every picture has its shadows
    And it has some source of light
    Blindness blindness and sight
    The perils of benefactors
    The blessings of parasites
    Blindness blindness and sight
    Threatened by all things
    Devil of cruelty
    Drawn to all things
    Devil of delight
    Mythical devil of the ever-present laws
    Governing blindness blindness and sight

    Suntans in reservation dining rooms
    Pale miners in their lantern rays
    Night night and day
    Hostage smile on presidents
    Freedom scribbled in the subway
    It's like night night and day
    Threatened by all things
    God of cruelty
    Drawn to all things
    God of delight
    Mythical god of the everlasting laws
    Governing day day and night

    Critics of all expression
    Judges in black and white
    Saying it's wrong saying it's right
    Compelled by prescribed standards
    Or some ideals we fight
    For wrong wrong and right
    Threatened by all things
    Man of cruelty-mark of Cain
    Drawn to all things
    Man of delight-born again born again
    Man of the laws the ever-broken laws
    Governing wrong wrong and right
    Governing wrong wrong and right
    Wrong and right

    OK, here's a contribution; one of the most underrated singer/songwriters of his time, mainly because he was a contemporary of Joe Jackson and Elvis Costello, both at the height of their powers. Listen to Graham Parker and the Rumour, and 'Local Girls'. This guy has an uneven body of work, but some fantastic stuff in there, and one of the best bands around. I discovered him when an English friend of mine sent me a tape he made of the Rumour playing with Southside Johnny and the Asbury Jukes in the UK somewhere. I was a big fan of the Jukes, and grew attached to Graham Parker and his band as a result.
