| Joni Mitchell – Blue Lyrics | 12 years ago |
| I have no idea what Joni would say herself but I think the meaning is really different to what others have written. Listen again! I think she's trying to reach someone who has drifted away into drugs and fast living to avoid dealing with their pain. The emptiness she's singing about is someone else's. She says she will look around hell "the hippest way to go" "I don't think so" but she's not staying. She holds a shell, a beach shell to "Blue's" ear so they can hear the real song...the message...a foggy lullaby. She sounds so sad because she feels fairly sure they can't hear what she wants them to hear...they won't be following her out to live a better life. "Blue, I love you". Much more profound love than romantic love. Sad, I mean, I know exactly what she's saying. | |
