1970, Ladies of The Canyon- Joni Mitchell ,
the amazing thing about this song is that she sings it lightly and brightly,
it is a dark social problems,
no need for DDT ,
natural apples are speckled ,
A big yellow taxi, this is a metaphorical expression ,
a big yellow taxi- a yellow bulldozer ( America’s wealth and power )
my old man- my old land,
a yellow bulldozer breaks the my old land ,
She is the most influential singer,
her music is complex and profound,
she went from folk field to free music.
この曲の凄いところは、土地開発問題や農薬問題などの重い社会問題を、批判的に歌ってますが、その歌い方は、あくまで、軽く明るく、歌ってます。
