Joni Mitchell – The last time I saw Richard

There is something relentlessly gray about London in the rain.

This is taken from Blue, an album that I found to be captivating the first time I heard it and is typical of the album – full of clever and poignant lyrics delivered with a startling purity. It is a tale of heartbreak and love lost. Seldom have I heard those raw emotions captured in such a real and vivid way.
