Anyone heard of this singer Espen Lind? his latest album has this opening song title: "Joni Mitchell on the Radio". Upon closer examination of the lyrics, the song was about a lazy day with thoughts ranging from food to missing someone, then: "... Joni Mitchell is on the radio.."
This song reminds me so much of Suzanne Vega's "Tom Diner" where the character reminisced her lover while detailing all the movements of people around her: an objective correlative to her feelings. Haven't heard yet of Espen Lind but when I listened to all the songs in his latest, there's nothing to motivate me to buy it. Maybe except for that very brief Joni reference.
