This post is about some amazing women artists. They are all trying to tell us something.
Sirens (Σειρῆνες Seirēnes):
In Greek mythology, the Sirens (Greek singular: Σειρήν Seirēn; Greek plural: Σειρῆνες Seirēnes) were dangerous mermaid like creatures, portrayed as seductresses who lured nearby sailors with their enchanting music and voices to shipwreck on the rocky coast of their island.
Rocky coasts, indeed. With that out of the way, here we go beyond the squiggle...
Judy Collins: The Earth Mother
Judy and Pete Seeger: Turn, Turn, Turn
Constant Sorrow:
Joni Mitchell: The Earth Daughter
Joni at Big Sur: Woodstock
Blue (FYI That's Graham Nash saying this song was her way of saying goodbye to him)
Melanie: The Earth daughter's daughter
Candles in the Rain
Janis: The Earth Biker Chick?
Summertime
Mercedes F'ng Benz (& Move Over!)
Grace Slick: The Earth girl I'd most like a date with ;-)
Wooden Ships
The House at Pooneil Corners (Woodstock)
Think, think, think
Who doesn't love Pooh?
The cows are almost cooing
Turtle doves are mooing
Which is why a Pooh is Poohing
In the sun
Or the other hand, perhaps this?
Stars spinning wheels in the skies
Sun is scrambled in their eyes
While the moon circles like a vulture
Someone stood at a window & cried
'One tear I thought that should stop a war
But someone is killing me'
& that's the last hour to think anymore
And this
And I dreamed I saw the bombers
Riding shotgun in the sky
And they turned right into butterflies
Above our nation
And finally this
A time to gain, A time to lose
A time to rend, A time to sew
A time for love, A time for hate
A time for peace,
I swear it's not too late
To Everything (Turn, Turn, Turn)
There is a season (Turn, Turn, Turn)
And a time to every purpose, under Heaven
They knew. The rocky coast. Stop the Wars!
Enjoy... Any other nominations?
