Joni Mitchell - Woman of Heart and Mind (2003)



歌手joni mitchell 的音色高而飄，“如聽仙樂耳暫明”，真情流露的詞句唱出心底的溫柔。歲月悠悠，車裏的磁帶聽了將近二十年，伴著我們多少人生路。

" 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 jukebox 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
It's 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
Hm, hm, hm, hm,
Want to make you feel free
I want to make you feel free"

她低頭輕撫吉他，飄逸的金色長發遮住麵頰，仿佛為自己營造一個避風港。她的聲音時而如行雲流水，時而熱情如火，在冰火交融的氣氛中，她可以從小旅舍桌上一杯咖啡，一枝玫瑰唱到世界和平，從阿姆斯特丹唱到加州，每個簡單的音在她的唇間都訴說一段情感，一個故事。她的音樂天賦用什麽語言來形容都顯得蒼白。

看到Joni，想到影片Forrest Gump 裏阿甘的女友Jenny，一個背上吉他闖天下的女子。Joni出生於加拿大小鎮，她兼備北歐的修長身材和蘇格蘭愛爾蘭能歌善舞的天性。王菲在訪談中提到joni mitchell 是她最喜愛的歌手，她自己唱的旋轉木馬讓我想到joni唱的the circle game

the circle game

Yesterday a child came out to wonder
Caught a dragonfly inside a jar
Fearful when the sky was full of thunder
And tearful at the falling of a star

Then the child moved ten times round the seasons
Skated over ten clear frozen streams
Words like when you're older must appease him
And promises of someday make his dreams

And the seasons they go round and round
And the painted ponies go up and down
We're captive on the carousel of time
We can't return we can only look
Behind from where we came
And go round and round and round
In the circle game *

Sixteen springs and sixteen summers gone now
Cartwheels turn to car wheels thru the town
And they tell him take your time it won't be long now
Till you drag your feet to slow the circles down

And the seasons they go round and round
And the painted ponies go up and down
We're captive on the carousel of time
We can't return we can only look
Behind from where we came
And go round and round and round
In the circle game

So the years spin by and now the boy is twenty
Though his dreams have lost some grandeur coming true
There'll be new dreams maybe better dreams and plenty
Before the last revolving year is through

And the seasons they go round and round
And the painted ponies go up and down
We're captive on the carousel of time
We can't return we can only look
Behind from where we came
And go round and round and round
In the circle game

joni的《little green》寫給自己未能養育的女兒，一個她深藏心底的秘密和傷痛。也許是這個原因，她的音樂有著琢磨不透的飄忽感，神秘感，正所謂“不敢入詩的來入夢”。想不到我會隨著先生迷上一位在我出生前就成名的歌手。。。1966，67年的美國也經曆著一場文化革命。迷茫的一代尋求著自我也尋求著愛。

Little Green

Born with the moon in Cancer
Choose her a name she will answer to
Call her green and the winters cannot fade her
Call her green for the children who've made her
Little green, be a gypsy dancer

He went to California
Hearing that everything's warmer there
So you write him a letter and say, "Her eyes are blue."
He sends you a poem and she's lost to you
Little green, he's a non-conformer

Chorus:
Just a little green
Like the color when the spring is born
There'll be crocuses to bring to school tomorrow
Just a little green
Like the nights when the Northern lights perform
There'll be icicles and birthday clothes
And sometimes there'll be sorrow

Child with a child pretending
Weary of lies you are sending home
So you sign all the papers in the family name
You're sad and you're sorry, but you're not ashamed
Little green, have a happy ending

CHORUS:

Just a little green
Like the color when the spring is born
There'll be crocuses to bring to school tomorrow
Just a little green
Like the nights when the Northern lights perform
There'll be icicles and birthday clothes
And sometimes there'll be sorrow



她的一生，注定漂泊；她的心靈，向往自由。她的最愛，是繪畫，是歌唱，是作曲，是如詩的歌詞。幾十年後，她鼓足勇氣尋找送走的女兒，她的聲音已經從清澈變滄桑，她柔情地為團圓的女兒和孫兒女唱一曲，“我從兩邊看過了雲彩。。。”

both sides now

Bows and flows of angel hair
And ice cream castles in the air
And feather canyons everywhere
I've looked at clouds that way

But now they only block the sun
They rain and snow on everyone
So many things I would have done
But clouds got in my way

I've looked at clouds from both sides now
From up and down, and still somehow
It's cloud illusions I recall
I really don't know clouds at all

Moons and Junes and Ferris wheels
The dizzy dancing way you feel
As every fairy tale comes real
I've looked at love that way

But now it's just another show
You leave 'em laughing when you go
And if you care, don't let them know
Don't give yourself away

I've looked at love from both sides now
From give and take, and still somehow
It's love's illusions I recall
I really don't know love at all

Tears and fears and feeling proud
To say "I love you" right out loud
Dreams and schemes and circus crowds
I've looked at life that way

Oh but now old friends are acting strange
They shake their heads, they say I've changed
Well something's lost but something's gained
In living every day

I've looked at life from both sides now
From WIN and LOSE and still somehow
It's life's illusions I recall
I really don't know life at all

I've looked at life from both sides now
From up and down and still somehow
It's life's illusions I recall
I really don't know life at all
