Ferron: Misty Mountain

For Ferron, "artistic expression is not only essential, it's revolutionary."
Misty Mountain, from 1980, is a particularly stirring example of her lyricism.

O it's a planet of resistance
It's a whirling flame of choice
Are you my comrades in persistence
I swear they'll know us by our voice
Though we lay down in dusty corners
We are ragged as a scar
And when we rest our eyes stay open
We are always off to war
We're always off to war my friend
We're always off to war
And it makes my think of this my friend
Where can the quiet be?

O is it up the misty mountain

Where wild flowers bind the ground..."

Wonderful song! It doesn't hurt to add into the mix Brent Shindell's beautiful guitar playing. Fabulous Vancouver guitarist.
