This album ,'Hejira', and David Sylvian's 'Songs from the Beehive', I consider to be the two albums I know that reach perfection. [And I've followed a few…]
Beautiful! Been following Joni for years, how did I miss this one? Inexcusable on my part. Like your style, POPE. You're laid back, soft spoken and introspective - your reactions are pleasant to ingest.
Along with Hissing of Summer Lawns, her two best albums. You should listen to both , such lyricism, pure poetry. Prince once said Hissing was his favorite album!
Oh, Icarus yearns to fly, so with wings made of feathers attached with wax, he succeeds but flies too high and close to the sun; the wax melts and he falls to his death. Greek mythology at it's best…
The hexagram of the heavens is one of the configurations of sticks in an I Ching fortune-telling cast. Like the guitar strings and the jet trails it is made up of six long parallel sticks, and has to do with creativity and ambition.
I just love the starts of your reaction videos Pope, now that you use that beautiful Allan Holdsworth guitar solo from the track "Endomorph" from his 1989 album "Secrets". You should check out the track "Zarabeth" from his 1992 album "Wardenclyffe Tower" that is another gorgeous solo.
Joni said that the road for her was a way of avoiding getting deeply involved in relationships. There is a sense of freedom there. I have experienced touring myself and I never wanted it to end because ending tbe tour meant 'going home' and I never felt at ease at home and never felt at ease in any relationship. I felt like I was meant to travel my whole life. It never turned out that way, but I have lived life on tbe edge and I did use touring as an escape like Joni. This album 'Hijeira' carries this restless, road theme throughout actually. One of her strongest most cohesive releases. I hope you make it to 'Turbulent Indigo'. This was released in tbe mid-nineties and is one of my favorites, it is dark and melancolic, full of shadows but with bits of sunlight peeking tbrough.
Of all Joni Mitchell's songs, and I've been an avid fan since the 70s, Amelia is my favorite for its poetry and guitar melody. Fun fact, up until the album Hejira, Joni had always played acoustic guitar. But for this project, she wanted to implement a more ethereal soundscape by bringing in the effects of an electric guitar. It took Joni weeks to re-learn how to play the electric guitar. At one point, she was so frustrated not being able to achieve the same strumming and fingering action she had perfected on acoustic, she threw down the guitar in the studio. If you want to learn any of Joni's songs, I suggest you look online for the particular song's guitar tunings as they are mostly done in open chord tunings, usual not found in standard sheet music for guitar. Congrats on the new pad, and discoveries of Mitchell's profound catalog ❤
Yeah! You found Hejira. Every song on this album is just as deep as Amelia. Besides being a genius poet, she's also a great and unique guitarist. She uses a lot of unique tunings.
Hey Pope, haven’t seen much of your channel since your Led Zeppelin days but I’m really glad you’re getting into Joni Mitchell. Everything she’s made is amazing.
Hi ya Pope, congrats on the new place. This song from Miss Joni was new to me. Loved it. Poor Joni did seem to have an issue with love. Can't wait to hear about your success on the guitar. Good for you. ❤😊
Not heard this before- beautiful and philosophical- enjoy your new home Pope- like in the song, we are all on a journey, searching✨🧡. Suggestions? Jimi Hendrix-.Angel.
Hey bro, could you do a listen to Spirit of Eden by Talk Talk, you have to listen to 3 songs toguether and then the other 3, it will blow your mind, it is like nothing you heard before
Congratulations on the new digs! Bit of feedback, your music volume was fine, but I had to strain to hear your own vocal mic. Song suggestion? How about Joni Mitchell's version of "Goodbye Pork Pie Hat"? The song was originally written by jazz legend Charles Mingus, as an instrumental piece. Joni wrote lyrics to fit the melody, as a tribute to early jazz legends...
Bro happy you are in a new place. Hope you enjoy it there and keep up the channel in the excellent way you've been doing. Good luck in your new crib.👍 Suggestion: th-cam.com/video/yOSnUmLt5VQ/w-d-xo.htmlsi=du6AUKXonKfeI3bt
The 1979 live version of this song with Pat Methany. Is stunning.
Larry Carlton's no slouch either
My daughter was born in 1977. This song is why I named her Amelia. ❤
My daughter, also Amelia, was born on Joni Mitchell's birthday!

thank you greatly 🙏🏿
From possibly her finest album: Hejira.
Along with Hissing of Summer Lawns, her two best albums. You should listen to both , such lyricism, pure poetry. Prince once said Hissing was his favorite album!
I would add Don Juan's reckless daughter and Mingus along with hijra and hissing of Summer lawns has my favorite period of music from Joni

Thank you Pope for always coming back to us and with great music as well.
always 🙏🏿
@@POPE.funnily enough someone has claimed to have found her plane very recently.
I just love the starts of your reaction videos Pope, now that you use that beautiful Allan Holdsworth guitar solo from the track "Endomorph" from his 1989 album "Secrets".

For Joni, her artistry and career came first, even at the expense of love.

I just can’t comprehend how such a poetic, philosophical and beautiful song was created. Only Joni, creative genius, could do this.
Oh yes. This is poetry. :)
(I'd recommend buying a steel string guitar with a light action and extra light gauge strings.)
Yeah! You found Hejira. Every song on this album is just as deep as Amelia. Besides being a genius poet, she's also a great and unique guitarist. She uses a lot of unique tunings.

Pope; it’s been too long but now that you have resurfaced with Joni and especially Amelia…. It’s great to see you again! This song… this song….

As mentioned,try the 79' live version. On top of the great musicians,she moves round the stage like a cat showing how to fully entrance the audience
Please review "Don't Interrupt the Sorrow" from The Hissing of Summer Lawns album.

Don't Interrupt the Sorrow
Icarus is the hero in a myth about a man who makes wings and flies to close to the sun.
He made wings of feathers and wax, it was the wax melting when he flew too close to the sun that caused him to fall to his death.
Bro happy you are in a new place.
Hope you enjoy it there and keep up the channel in the excellent way you've been doing.
Good luck in your new crib.👍
