| Joni Mitchell – That Song About The Midway Lyrics
| 1 year ago
|
|
This song is about Joni Mitchell and David Crosby. They were in a relationship at the time that they lived in Laurel Canyon California, maybe 1967 or thereabouts, but the relationship was rocky because of Crosby's drug use and erratic behaviour. Joni Mitchell wrote this song as a "break up" song and arived at a party where Crosby was present and sang it to him-twice! He got the message!!! |

| Al Stewart – On The Border Lyrics
| 2 years ago

No the reference to "gun smuggling" is to the Basque troubles in Northern Spain , late 70's and the reference to "from Africa the winds they talk of change is coming" and " the hands that set the farms alight" is to the Rhodesian bush war, in what is now Zimbabwe, also in the late 70's. Makes sense. Al Stewart wrote the song in 1976. All about the dying days of colonialism in Africa. |
