Oh wow! A few months ago, I couldn’t get enough of this song. Bill and I were at the NY State Fair. I went into the Art and Home Center and this song was echoing through the halls. I found a young woman with a guitar in a small auditorium singing to a faithful local audience. She went on to describe how song writing had brought her out of a deep depression and was her form of therapy. I hadn’t heard it in a very long time but I heard it a lot when I was an art student at SUNY New Paltz in 1969. It’s still so haunting. Listening to her own this song kept it in my mind for several weeks.
I thought it would never let go of me and now it’s back reminding me that my visit to Melbourne is coming to an end and I have to find my way home.
Wow- another WOW! Thank you for sharing this. I didn’t know her music at all. 🤷🏼♂️ She was like Janis Joplin. Bonnie Raitt and, I don’t know Nina Simone? - someone Black and bluesy all rolled into one fresh, tumbling stream. I’m glad there’s that documentary about her. It would be amazing if I found it on the plane home. Oh. Yeah! And she had an Aussie following !!! So interesting.
Well, that was beautiful.
Well thanks.

So cool! I had forgotten about it for years until I heard this version by Ellen McIlwaine: https://tidal.com/browse/track/4034451?u

Her name is Mira Grimm.
Many people "care what the song is about". Knowing a song's meaning adds immeasurably to its understanding.
