JUNO: original soundtrack
Just before I was going to post my first jazz review, this little folk filled beauty filled my mind with so many innocent thoughts and colorful images that I knew from the first track that I'd want to have the honor to have this soundtrack in my next album review, and so let it be...
When you let folk music be an acceptable media of music, the underlying feeling of every song on this album will pick you up and smear your soul all over the waving fields and bordering brier patches because you'll feel the room and people around you listening to it... smile, and there is nothing better than the feeling of roomiversal happiness, I guarantee this.
Let us take the first track for example: Barry Louis Polisar's I Want is You from an early recording released in 1977 is a beautiful example of a romantic folk song depicting a mans artistic love.

"...If you were a river in the mountains tall,
The rumble of your water would be my call.
If you were the winter, I know I'd be the snow
Just as long as you were with me, let the cold winds blow
All I want is you, will you be my bride
Take me by the hand and stand by my side
All I want is you, will you stay with me?
Hold me in your arms and sway me like the sea..."
Love songs like this really play a big part in my life because its not so jam packed with possessions and glamor. Its about this man who loves this person to the extent that he'd love to be by the side, even if he wasn't as important or as beautiful. He'd love to just be with the person just to be able to bask in the presence of the lovely other.
The next track by Kimya Dawson, Rollercoaster, holds equal importance, even though it lasts 53 seconds, and it only consists of melodic "do"s in contrast to the full song which sheds some more light on the subject. Imagination is the key of this track.♥
