    Review about Joan Baez

    The Two Joes | Reviewer: Not Joe Hill
        ------ About the song Joe Hill performed by Joan Baez

    There is Joe Hill the labor organizer, murdered in Utah in 1915 and then there's Joseph Hill of the Reggae band Culture - a much more contemporary figure!

    Thank you for the lyrics of this very memorable song.


    Sad Song | Reviewer: Wimon
        ------ About the song Donna Donna performed by Joan Baez

    I heard this song the first time when I was a 1st yr student at uni..

    Now I'm an intern teacher.. when I hear this song I miss my friends and the teacher.

    And I work as a teacher, I'm gonna teach them this song too.

    Best Wishes for our world..


    I believe I'll take a trip on this good old gospel ship | Reviewer: Anonymous
        ------ About the song Old Gospel Ship performed by Joan Baez

    I believe I'll take a trip, on this good old gosple ship.And we'll go sailing through the air. And when my ship come in, I'm gonna live this old world of sin. And we'll go sailing through the air. trouble in my way, trouble in my way have to cry sometime, cry sometime, laid awake at night, I laid awake at night, but that's alright. I heard him Jesus,jesus, he will fix it afterwhile, afterwhile.


    Where are you now, my son? | Reviewer: owen/mshengu
        ------ About the song Where Are You Now My Son performed by Joan Baez

    Forget Jane Fonda - I think it was this song which was pivotal in helping bring and end to the ill-fated Vientnam War.

    When I first heard this song - it sent chills throughout my body - especially as I too had entered "The Struggle" in South Africa - where and illegal fascist regime was riding roughshod over innocent women and children in their "border wars" against "terrorists" - freedom fighters.

    Whereas the majority of SA's whites were rallying around "The Green Beret" - we of the "left" were living the reality that the simple philosophy of Joan Baez, Bob Dylan, Odetta, Pete Seeger, Woodie Guthrie and others - that had awakened our souls ... and made us aware of just how inhumane and injust our fellow beings could be ... in the name of "God & Country" ...


    Good song! | Reviewer: Winnie
        ------ About the song Donna Donna performed by Joan Baez

    I learned this song in music class in grade 6. I have long forgotten the other songs I learned in that class but to this day I still remember Donna Donna! The lyrics is so sad and goes so well with the melody, i guess maybe that's why I remembered it.


    "Lowlands" source | Reviewer: Paul dePasquale
        ------ About the song Lowlands performed by Joan Baez

    Hi. Do you know the source of Joan Baez' rendition of "Lowlands"? I thought I had all her material, and don't recognize this song. Thank you.


    diamonds too rust, dont they? | Reviewer: Babitha Marina Justin
        ------ About the song Diamonds and Rust performed by Joan Baez

    One of the songs which is really close to my heart. its sheer poetry here and the ease with which pain is changed to sarcasm is just like twirling a moustache :-). once my friend remarked that its a song for sentimental fools. rather be a sentimental fool than and be a detached one. LOL


    My Darling Donna | Reviewer: Rolan Cobb
        ------ About the song Donna Donna performed by Joan Baez

    My wife's name was Donna, she is gone now and every time I hear this song I think so kindly of her and all the great times we had together.

    She gave me two beautiful little girls, one has gone to heaven to be with her Mother in their eternal home.

    I will join them some day.


    Lifetime Favorite | Reviewer: roly
        ------ About the song Forever Young performed by Joan Baez

    Forever Young
    This song has remained my favorite, ever since I first made a video for my daughter Shireen way back in the early 80's. Amazingly inspiring, truly awesome. It will always be one favorite of mine.


    This song has been with me a lifetime. | Reviewer: Anonymous
        ------ About the song Joe Hill performed by Joan Baez

    In the 1960's I found this song in an old song book in a high school study hall/library in southeast Dallas County, TX, and hand copied it. I had never heard it before, but I picked out the melody on my guitar as best I could. When I heard Joan Baez sing it in the early '70's, I was truly moved.


    These old ballads just blow my mind... as does Joan B's renditions. | Reviewer: Christoph
        ------ About the song Silver Dagger performed by Joan Baez

    A very old song. These old ballads tell us what most of the society at the time (esp. those in positions of power) would never have allowed us to know. That it was even written much less sung - is amazing, absolutely. An incredible tale of insight to some of the workings and wrongs of the time - for women. And a unfathomable, strong statement of a woman (mother) who was willing to interfere with her daughter's life/love interest (just not done , except in cases of classism).
    That the daughter would announce to her lover the injustice of male infidelity and further choose to tell him she would rather choose the life of a spinster than be victim to this shows a strength of character that most (I'm sure) at the time would not have been able to display - but then again some did!
    These old ballads just blow my mind; their truth, their insight and simply that they were allowed to be created, sung and survived. And... Joan Baez's renditions and voice. Joannie gives a truth and life to these songs - cannot be compared.


    BEAUTIFUL WORDS | Reviewer: EDWARD EUGENE BASKETT
        ------ About the song No Man Is an Island performed by Joan Baez

    Just a note to tell you how really beautiful the words to this song are. So touching, in fact, that they make this grown man cry. I have known about this song for many years, but hand never paid much attention until recent months when a` friend of mine almost died from alcoholism. That got my attention and led me to these lovely lyrics. Thank you a thousad times over.


    Moved to Tears | Reviewer: New Grandfather
        ------ About the song Forever Young performed by Joan Baez

    I used this song as the soundtrack for a slideshow I made of all the pics I had taken of my new granddaughter. After I finished the slideshow, I played it for the family --- there wasn't a dry eye in the room. One of the most beautiful songs in the world, for sure.


    Another of the continuing repartee | Reviewer: Twisted Fiction Writer
        ------ About the song Diamonds and Rust performed by Joan Baez

    Read the lyrics for "Simple Twist of Fate" and learn that Joan answers that here, or at least that is part of the song - "that crummy hotel...".

    Joan and Bob drifted apart, yet in a way never parted company.


    A splendid song! | Reviewer: Giuseppe
        ------ About the song East Virginia performed by Joan Baez

    One of the more beautiful songs I ever heard. Joan Baez's voice is so wonderfully sweet and delicate that it really set me dreaming. Also the words of the lyrics are very good. Altogether a flawless masterpiece!


    Silent Running Review | Reviewer: Jordi
        ------ About the song Silent Running performed by Joan Baez

    This Lyrics is for the wonderful song "Rejoice in the Sun", the main theme of the 1971 Sci-fi classic "Silent Running". Only a little correction: "Tell them all they love will die" instead of "Tell them what they love will die".

    The other song sung by Joan Baez in the film is "Silent Running" and its lyrics is as follows:

    "Earth between my toes and a flower in my hair
    that's what I was wearing when we lay, among the ferns.
    Earth between my toes and a flower I will wear when he returns.
    (music)
    Wind upon his face and my fingers in his hair
    that's what he was wearing when we lay, beneath the sky.
    Wind upon his face and my love he will wear when swallows fly.
    (music)
    Tears of sorrow running deep
    running silent in my sleep
    running silent in my sleep.

    Regards!
    (Jordi Aloy, Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain).


    Something for my Grandchildren | Reviewer: Pam
        ------ About the song Forever Young performed by Joan Baez

    This song has always been a favourite of mine and the words are so poignant. I have copied the lyrics and will make a special card for my four beautiful grandchildren. The lyrics echo my wishes for them. I did this for my children as they were growing up too.


    Review | Reviewer: Valdemar Belmares
        ------ About the song Virgin Mary performed by Joan Baez

    Sorry to bother you, but for the last couple of months I've been trying to find "Virgin Mary" on cd but i can't. And not just the regular song but the live television performance thats on the Bob Dylan dvd.

    Please contact me with some info. Valdemar.


    story telling at it's finest | Reviewer: Craig D
        ------ About the song Silver Dagger performed by Joan Baez

    I have known this song since I was 15. Even then, I was haunted by the commentary on family dynamics and the victimization of the daughter. Now, in my 40s, I find it even more compelling. Every line in the song contributes to a dreadful tale of loss and bitterness. Furthermore, these lyrics provide the most complete and succinct story telling I have ever come across in a song.


    Forever Young | Reviewer: David Vinson
        ------ About the song Forever Young performed by Joan Baez

    This is a very touching song, it has alot of meaning and its a song that will keep a connection between my ex and I who ive had to move away from now. I used to live in singapore and ive left her behind to live in Aussie and i will always remember and love her.
