It’s my last hippie post so I may as well play some Ministry
To be honest I can’t find my favorite goodbye-minded Joni song. Which of course, is a song, I’d love to share. So, how about I post the lyrics to the Joni song and play some Ministry? Sound good?
See You Sometime - this tune from Mitchell’s album For the Roses is one of my favorites. It’s sad, but not, hopeful, but not an ending answer to a question. I love it.
Where are you now
Are you in some hotel room
Does it have a view?
Are you caught in a crowd
Or holding some honey
Who came on to you?
Why do you have to be so jive
O.K. hang up the phone
It hurts
But something survives
Though it’s undermined
I’d still like to see you sometime
I’m feeling so good
And my friends all tell me
That I’m looking fine
I run in the woods
I spring from the boulders
Like a mama lion
I’m not ready to
Change my name again
But you know I’m not after
A piece of your fortune
And your fame
‘Cause I tasted mine
I’d just like to see you sometime
Pack your suspenders
I’ll come meet your plane
No need to surrender
I just want to see you again
We’re in for more rain
I could sure use some sunshine on my apple trees
It seems such a shame
We start out so kind and end so heartlessly
I couldn’t take them all on then
With a headful of questions and hypes
So when the hopes got so slim
I just resigned
But I’d still like to see you sometime
I’d sure like to see you
Now for some music. I was thinking, besides Joni, that some Grateful Dead might make nice last post material. However, I’ve already shared most of the best Dead available online so what to do? As a compromise I think it might be nice to hear a Dead cover. Since I hate most covers we’ll go with a shocking cover. Here’s Mr. Jourgensen and the rest of the crew doing a nice little Dead cover — oddly enough it’s not too bad. Surprising but not bad.
Lastly
: thanks to all my readers and the music channel — it’s been a lot fun blogging here. Thanks to Stacey for taking over because I know this blog is in great hands. If you afraid you’ll miss me (and I know you will) you can visit me at one of my other blogs like Offbeat Homes or Tree Hugging Family (or at another one of the blogs listed here).Peace everyone and take care.
