Happy Birthday Joni...

|

After last night's 'songs about songs' special, tonight's show features one of the greatest songwriters of all time. It's Joni Mitchell's birthday, so tonight's show a chance to celebrate her life's work.

Everyone has a Joni Mitchell song that says something about their life, and for me it's A Case Of You - possibly the greatest love song ever written?

Obviously songs like Both Sides Now and Big Yellow Taxi are proving popular but lots of you have been asking for the less well known stuff.

Greig from the Bridge of Don says ' The Priest' reminds of the most alcohol soaked holiday he's ever had and Stephen from Edinburgh has been on the e-mail asking for Edith And The Kingpin from The Hissing of Summer Lawns.

"Years ago Seal said that Joni was the best songwriter he'd ever heard and that the greatest lyric he'd ever heard was in this song: 'His eyes hold Edith. His left hand holds his right. What does that hand desire that he grips it so tight?'

He reckoned it was perfection in lyric writing so please please please play it!
thanks, Stephen (Edinburgh).
