This is one of Joni's most inspired creations, and my poor words cannot hope to adequately convey what I feel every time I hear it.

[Bflatblues55]

Amazing.

She leaves me breathless... her voice is the finest instrument I think I shall ever hear. Ever.

[Okinawamiamor]

@billyguns2 I discovered Joni with this song.

I am having a difficult time posting my advocacy messages on this thread.

I can TOTALLY empathize with Joni's lyrics/thoughts in her songs, Magdalene Laundries, even though I was not a bonafide Catholic.

[zimzoomit]

Though enrolled in Catholic school in Jaffa, Israel, at age 7 (my father was a Catholic], I learned, shortly thereafter, at that YOUNG AGE, that people, often AWFUL people, used religious tactics to separate/exclude "deserving" persons (of their own choice) from others who "deserved" .. YES. I learned this when I was the daughter of a diplomat! Oh please..if a God, Buddha or Higher Power abounds, let him/her SAVE us from frauds!

[zimzoomit]

I particularly focused on traditional music, in my late teens & early 20's, a decade later, loved/learned Bothy Band tunes.

[zimzoomit]

Also, to the commentor who posted below, about Sandy Denney,..well, I also admired Sandy Denney, particularly when she was with Fairport Convention [think..All Around My Hat & All Ye Roving Minstrels.

[zimzoomit]

For the better part of my professional work & life, I worked in social services & in occupations that HELPED women, so can IDENTIFY w/DISADVANTAGED women. My musical "bent" or hobby, & it's professional gains, if only minimally, only ads to my SERIOUS intent to help other women who have been, similarly, domestically abused.

[zimzoomit]

I especially love most of the tunes of Joni's on her album, Turbulent Indigo, as, I can IDENTIFY with most of those songs, whether from my own perspective/life, or from MANY women who I befriended who experienced sexual abuse or domestic violence, from 1969 through 2011.

sorry..typo..I meant..MY EGO IS NOT THERE. Now I only want to sit back, enjoy/appreciate life, & other artists who endeavor to achieve, maybe not on a "great" level, but on a LOCAL level, & who PASS DOWN their KNOWLEDGE to the next generation, do not "grab" all the "glory" for themselves, but who MENTOR other youngsters, w/out corrupting them.
