Song For Sharon Lyrics

Cover art for Song For Sharon lyrics by Joni Mitchell

just to be nerdy Jaco does not play on this track, he is on Coyote, Hejira, Black Crow and Refuge of the Roads. When I heard this song in 1977 I thought it was great but hadnt lived enough to truly feel it. This year I met a woman who is 29, just like Joni was ("29 skaters on Wollmann rink") who was/is going through an identity struggle. I suggested this song to her and I think it enlightened her. Its one of the ultimate reflections of Jonis amazing talent for marying highly personal idiosyncratic lyrics with beautiful and unorthodox music.
