@[dkov43:53408] This Joan Baez thing solves 2 puzzles. Who is the new love? Baez. Who is he telling to lay down their weary song? Baez. He tells her to stop singing and enjoy the sound her guitar makes, 'rest yourself neath the strength of strings! (Guitar strings) which no voice, especially hers being quite trained and sustained compared to his, can match. He lists all the instruments that the natural world sounds like but the most powerful line in the whole song for me I 'asks for no applause because nature just makes all these beautiful sounds because it does, no need to worry about performance or recognition. To me the last verse is the weakest. 'Watched it's winding strum' you can't see or hear anything and he reuses the rhyme from verse 1. |
