17:01 PMAbby writes, "The KEXP music heals shows mean so much to me. "My grandma lost her decade plus long battle with cancer this past December. She was a tough lady who lost two husbands and raised three great boys (my dad and uncle). She was funny and quick witted and she loved fried shrimp. The day my dad called to let me know that they started hospice, it was another music heals day and KEXP played 'Circle Game' by Joni Mitchell. If you have the time, could you play it? Thank you for all you do, music really does heal and KEXP helps me remember that I'm not alone." - May 2, 2023
10:06 AMAnother Canadian, Joni Mitchell wrote this song partly in response to Neil Young's song about lost innocence, "Sugar Mountain," where Young sings, "You can't be 20 on Sugar Mountain." Mitchell's last verse is a rejoinder of sorts, with the 20-year-old facing diminished dreams but still with plenty of hope. -- Here are the great lyrics: www.songfacts.com - Dec 13, 2022
