i really don't think this song is about abortion. and a white throat is a type of bird in north america that lives near rivers. so it's probably not a reference to alcohol. in her interview in arthur a couple of years ago she mentioned that she sleeps in late a lot too. |

| Joni Mitchell – Song For Sharon Lyrics

'Little Indian kids on a bridge up in Canada
They can balance and they can climb
Like their fathers before them
They'll walk the girders of the Manhattan skyline'
this is lovely. a little bit of history. the white workers got vertigo and couldn't build the high skyscrapers of new york so they got the native indians from canada to come work as builders as they could balance and keep a level head at great heights.it saddens me that this song was written under the influence of cocaine. i wonder what other great songs came from that induced state. |

i don't think she's 'obsessed with motherhood'. she's a young woman with maternal instincts. naturally she might write songs with mention of motherhood. |

This is what Mariee Sioux says:
'This Song came about while i was living at a dear friends house amongst the hills of Atascadero California and during a crazy time, when is it NOT crazy out there haha!! I lived out in a back shed filled of wonder and piles of things like tools, leather scraps, and crazy workshop magic where many things were made, oh and i was in love….many things were in flux and change in a somewhat calm confusion…and there were amazing father/son connections and feelings swirling around the place.' |

i think the 'unborn' she refers to in this could be all the generations of native americans who were cut off after families were massacred. the idea of kate wolfe coming back to this earth is a fantasy she has in this song that will happen at the end of time, only when these shifts take place and everyting is ready. some kind of ritual. |

i like your theory, emueyes. the line 'do you remember staring up at the stars? so far away in their bulletproof cars' makes me smile. |
