Me and Bobbie McGee- Kris Kristofferson

My mother and I both sang this song on our 21'st birthdays in bars. Kind of funny. It is one of my favorite Kris Kristofferson songs and certainly it was fitting for Janis Joplin.

Little Green-Joni Mitchell

I'm always a little sad when I hear this song... You can really hear Joni's pain. Later I learned this song is about a little girl she had very young and had to give away.
SONG MEANING / BACKGROUND INFO. - Little Green is about the child that Joni Mitchell gave up for adoption in 1965. Mitchell explained in a 1998 interview ...www.lyrics.com/131733/lyrics/jonimitchell/littlegreen.html

Rhiannon-Stevie Nicks

This is one of my all time favorite songs. I always thought it was about a witch as I'm sure many of us have. That is really not the case.......
Wrote Rhiannon because I loved her name and I loved her story. I didn't write her to be sold, she simply is not for sale and has never been. ~Stevie Nicks ..www.inherownwords.com/rhiannon2.htm -


Rhiannon rings like a bell through the night
And wouldn't you love to love her?
Takes through the sky like a bird in flight
And who will be her lover?
All your life you've never seen a woman
Taken by the wind
Would you stay if she promised you Heaven?
Will you ever win?
She is like a cat in the dark
And then she is the darkness
She rules her life like a fine skylark
And when the sky is starless
All your life you've never seen a woman
Taken by the wind
Would you stay if she promised you Heaven?
Will you ever win? Will you ever win?
Rhiannon
Rhiannon
Rhiannon
Rhiannon
She rings like a bell through the night
And wouldn't you love to love her?
She was alive like a bird in flight
And who will be her lover?
All your life you've never seen a woman
Taken by the wind
Would you stay if she promised you Heaven?
Will you ever win? Will you ever win?
Rhiannon

Rhiannon
Taken by, taken by the sky
Taken by, taken by the sky
Taken by, taken by the sky
Dreams unwind
Love's a state of mind
Dreams unwind
Love's a state of mind

Angel Flying Too Close to the Ground... Willy Nelson....
   If you would not have fallen, I would not have found you....

Hey Jude.... Paul Macartney
Question: Who is Jude? Is it his son?

Question: What is this song about?
