Love that "I want you" ... insistent and, er, creepy... And that spoken section is brilliant... it sums that awful situation up perfectly... there are no winners... only losers... Poor ole Reg! How on earth is he gonna talk his way out of that phone message?!!!

Another day comes
Yesterdays youth seem miles away
As age creeps on day after day
Life isn’t what it used to be
And no…
Glad you changed direction - powerful song. Liking that insistent piano motif... during the instrumental (cool wah on the guitar!) I was suddenly aware of why I'd been feeling on edge all the way through... kind of focuses me on the lyrics. Cool.

A song about my wife. Recorded 2005.

We’re standing up for the job creators
We know that someday they will come through
All that’s needed is lower taxes
That’s what they’re waiting for us to do
We think it’s great they have so much money
We know they’ll spend it responsibly…
We've all met them! Haha. Got a bit of a rocky head on doing this.
"I ain't gonna love her like I said I would, coz my friends were all quite right - she's no good."
Most of the lyrics written in 1999, a tough year. Many thanks to JB for his awesome screaming lead playing (done first take, I should add!!!) and to LadyJane for supplying some oooo's. (anyone needing some vocals - send her your song!)
This is a beautiful song from Joni Mitchell. My friend had his 50th birthday and this was my gift, I played it live at his party and recorded it later (4-2-2011)in my livingroom.
It's one take, can't mis that if you listen to it all the way…

I doesn’t matter what I say
All the time we spent is gone now
Taken out
You cry
I'm not even asking why
Your head's up in the sky now

Love the accent in the vocal it seems. To give it more meaning ...pretty much agree with what Adrew says ....the vocal and the song is where it's at......
