Song 32 ( Joni Mitchell - Amelia )

For song 32, I decided to go with Amelia by Joni Mitchell off of her 1976 Hejira album. This album is considered to be part of her Jazz period. The album contains many great musicians including Jaco Pastorious on bass. Most of the writing on this album was done while she was alone on the road, every song kind of reflects this; this one I think reflects the loneliness the most.
This is a very powerful and very beautifully done, Joni Mitchell's vocals and guitar work really stand out on this one. I would recommend her Hejira album to anyone who likes deep and moving music.

Here is the studio version on YouTube.
Here is a live performance from the Shadows and Light Tour on YouTube.
