I love the lyrics of Joni Mitchell… I will tell you about it someday.
Joni Mitchell › All I Want
I am on a lonely road and I am traveling
Traveling, traveling, traveling
Looking for something, what can it be
Oh I hate you some, I hate you some
I love you some
Oh I love you when I forget about me
I want to be strong I want to laugh along
I want to belong to the living
Alive, alive, I want to get up and jive
I want to wreck my stockings in some juke box dive
Do you want – do you want – do you want
To dance with me baby
Do you want to take a chance
On maybe finding some sweet romance with me baby
Well, come on
All I really really want our love to do
Is to bring out the best in me and in you too
All I really really want our love to do
Is to bring out the best in me and in you
I want to talk to you, I want to shampoo you
I want to renew you again and again
Applause, applause – life is our cause
When I think of your kisses
My mind see-saws
Do you see – do you see – do you see
How you hurt me baby
So I hurt you too
Then we both get so blue
I am on a lonely road and I am traveling
Looking for the key to set me free
Oh the jealousy, the greed is the unraveling
Its the unraveling
And it undoes all the joy that could be
I want to have fun, I want to shine like the sun
I want to be the one that you want to see
I want to knit you a sweater
Want to write you a love letter
I want to make you feel better
I want to make you feel free
Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm,
Want to make you feel free
I want to make you feel free

I think this qualifies as my most favorite song ever. I even give love advice stolen from this song.
My most favorite memory of this song (and there are plenty of good ones) is when I still paid attention to Dave’s talking in his sleep. Once, he said, “I wanna knit you a sweater.” And I said, “What?” And he said again, “I wanna knit you a sweater.” and then, “I wanna write you a love letter.”
I suppose it is burned into both of our conciousnessess.
For me, Joni=Amanda and her ear shaped ashtray.
I want to write the two of you a love letter!
my jm song is ‘river.’ ‘it’s coming on christmas, they’re cuttin down trees, puttin up reindeer and singing songs of joy and peace, oh, i wish i had a river, i could skate away on.’
brilliant.
