Mia, Congratulations on an observant and "right on" post.
That song "You give me such pleasure, you bring me such pain, who left her long black hair in our bathtub drain ?", and the whole DJRD album are no doubt the most sexually charged musically and lyrically of her career, IMO too. Another thought that I do not think has been raised yet regards two of Joni's piano breaks - one from "Let the Wind Carry Me" and one from "Down to You", which I feel sexually connected to when I listen to them. Anyone else have that feeling ? Bob S. (off to Paris today) Mia wrote: "Okay, this may be a little dark and I may be the only one in the world who thinks this, but I've always felt that "Off Night Back Street" from DJRD is Joni's sexiest song. Although the lyrics suggest Joni is being tortured, she is flirting with a kind of danger here, which can bring on a sort of intense, dramatic sexual energy. I actually think the music itself(and most of the music on that whole album-Cotton Ave, Talk to Me,etc..), more so than the lyrics, is incredibly sexy!"
