The saddest “Christmas” song ever.

“California dreaming on such a winter’s day...” (”California Dreamin’“ by The Mamas & the Papas)  On the other end of the NYC weather spectrum, these lyrics are for those who are not used to the summer heat: “I wish I had a river/I could skate away on...” (”River” by Joni Mitchell)  (Photo taken on February 10, 2017)

Falsettos/Joni Mitchell

“He tried hard to help me,

He put me at ease, 

And he loved me so naughty, made me weak in the knees;

I’m so hard to handle, 

I’m selfish, and I’m sad,

Now I’ve gone and lost the best baby that I ever had.”

- “River,” Joni Mitchell

I re-edited this post to make it more legible/aesthetically pleasing. Enjoy!
