The sounds of the 1960's, with the true musicians like Joni Mitchell, Gordon Lightfoot, Arlo Guthrie, Jim Croci, and many others, offered lyrics that we could all relate to in our own personal lives. The music produced allowed listeners to feel "free" in thought, to travel in fantasies, as we would get lost in each word sung!
I was born in 1972. And like many times in my life, I was too late to really be a true fan of the 60's - but still, many years later, I still relish every moment to listen to my favorite song by Mitchell off of her album SONG OF A SEAGULL: "The Pirate of Penance." The words in this song are very close to my own heart! They are words I can relate to!
