rubis Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 Been having a youtube day today and catching up on some things I don't normally listen to in the car, when it (re)occurred to me just how beautiful the lyrics of Joni Mitchell's songs are. This is one of my favourites of hers [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iAb6Jgb41mo[/media] "Like the hexagram of the heavens, like the strings of this guitar" .................what a line ! This whole song really moves me So, who else could write such poetry ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobbass4k Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 I've always thought the lyrics to this read more like a poem, with the rhyming and everything: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RYAF_MgV0JA[/media] The section with singing starts at about 5:02, but you should listen to the whole thing because it's one of the best songs ever written.

Fionn Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 Never before, nor never again, shall a song be touched by such sublime, profound, and artful poetry. All other vocal gestures fail, like the grunting of apes, in comparison. Aye, here is [i]the[/i] bench-mark of poetic lyricism. Aspire! ... futile as it may be...
