^ Thank you, Othon! The year 1971 saw the release of four phenomenally important albums by female artists - Joni Mitchell's Blue, Carole King's Tapestry (also re-released next month), Carly Simon's self-titled debut, and Dory Previn's Mythical Kings and Iguanas. All enjoyed considerable success, but today Previn is strangely overlooked - and under-represented on Youtube - which is a pity. Here's a couple more! Beware of Young Girlswww.imeem.com/agripina/music/lNFi56XZ/dory-previn-beware-of-young-girlswma/Beware of Young Girls
Beware Of young girls Who come to the door Wistful and pale Of twenty and four Delivering daisies With delicate hands
Beware Of young girls Too often they crave To cry At a wedding And dance On a grave
She was my friend My friend My friend She was invited to my house Oh yes She was And though she knew My love was true And No ordinary thing She admired My wedding ring She admired My wedding ring
She was my friend My friend My friend She sent us little silver gifts Oh yes She did Oh what a rare And happy pair She Inevitably said As she glanced At my unmade bed She admired My unmade bed My bed
Beware Of young girls Who come to the door Wistful and pale Of twenty and four Delivering daisies With delicate hands Beware Of young girls To often they crave To cry At a wedding And dance On a grave
She was my friend My friend My friend I thought her motives were sincere Oh yes I did Ah but this lass It came to pass Had A dark and different plan She admired My own sweet man She admired My own sweet man
We were friends Oh yes We were And she just took him from my life Oh yes She did So young and vain She brought me pain But I'm wise enough to say She will leave him One thoughtless day She'll just leave him And go away Oh yes
Beware Of young girls Who come to the door Wistful and pale Of twenty and four Delivering daisies With delicate hands
Beware Of young girls To often they crave To cry At a wedding And dance On a grave
Beware of young girls Beware of young girls Beware
from Dory Previn, On My Way To Where, (1970)The cosmic irony involved in "Beware of Young Girls" is astounding. The song is Dory Previn's take on twenty-four year old Mia Farrow's home-wrecking, and the fact that the act of husband-thievery came from a seemingly innocent family friend who she would have never suspected. Well, Mia Farrow did steal Andre Previn away from Dory and the new couple soon adopted a young Korean girl who would go by the name Soon-Yi Previn - the same Soon-Yi who of course would later steal Woody Allen from adoptive mom Mia Farrow...Children of Coincidenceif i hadn't made a left hand turn if you hadn't made a right if i'd waited just a moment more if you'd missed the light if that car had never blown its horn if that friend had stopped to talk we'd have never met at all if i didn't take that walk i'd have gotten there too early you'd have gotten there too late we are children of coincidence coincidence and fate crossed connection, lost connections empty corners, crowded intersections accidents and incidents we're children of coincidence and chance if he hadn't stopped to pick it up if she hadn't dropped her book when she took it, if she'd noticed him how come we never look? if she hadn't been so very white if he hadn't been so black would she smile and say hello to him? would he have turned his back? if she cancelled her appointment would he break his other date? we are children of coincidence coincidence and fate crossed connection... (repeat chorus) if the planets were in perfect place if your sign was on the rise if my stars were in complete accord but the sun was in your eyes you'd have only seen my shadow as i passed you on the street and it might have been a hundred years before our souls would meet again and we would still be strangers too early and too late we are children of coincidence coincidence and fate. from Dory Previn, We're Children of Coincidence and Harpo Marx, (1976)[/color]

Bat For Lashes - Daniel www.youtube.com/watch?v=IbY1YuO0ZCU Khan said in an interview with The Sun newspaper that Daniel was based on a fictional character that she fell in love with as a teenager. The single's cover features Khan with an image of the character Daniel LaRusso, from the film The Karate Kid, painted on her back. A character much like LaRusso also features at the end of the music video which goes with the song.

DP - Doppelganger (1971) www.youtube.com/watch?v=1bZBbne6Xlk&feature=channel_page
from Reflections in a Mud Puddle (1971). The album was voted one of the best albums of 1972 by Newsweek magazine, and was included in the New York Times critics' choice as one of the outstanding singer-songwriter albums of the 1970s. "Taps, Tremors and Time-Steps: One Last Dance for my Father", the second side of Reflections In a Mud Puddle, is a personal account of the deterioration of their relationship and her anguish at their differences remaining unresolved at the time of her father's death.

Kate Bush Moves Through the Fair...He also collaborated with Kate Bush on 1982's The Dreaming and 2005's Aerial, his didgeridoo skills proving invaluable. "Yeah, I taught her brother how to play the didg and talked myself out of a job because he became so damn good at it." He mentions another song that he made with Bush, She Moves Through the Fair, which he's hoping to release... Rolf Harriswww.guardian.co.uk/music/2009/apr/19/rolf-harrisThe mention "that he made" and "hoping to release" suggests that the recording has existed for some time and that Rolf is currently just trying to get the go-ahead... Fairport Convention - She moves through the fair ( Sandy Denny ) www.youtube.com/watch?v=8cN2JYnBTZw The Fairport Convention version is great. It would be marvellous to hear Kate sing it too - quite a few of my favourite artists have tackled this song, so it seems! --Paul--

^ Yes, Paul, I wonder when Kate and Rolf recorded She Moves Through the Fair. Maybe circa Mná na hÉireann? Or was Kate perhaps planning an album of traditional songs, like Sinéad O'Connor's Sean-Nós Nua (2002)? That would indeed be marvellous to hear!

Peggy Gordon - Sergeant Early's Dream - Incantationwww.youtube.com/watch?v=MQ_LTJUHvIAThe Field - Over The Ice www.youtube.com/watch?v=FQxEVhyvA0I&feature=related With the release of his 2006 single “Over the Ice,” Kompakt recording artist Axel Willner (a.k.a. the Field) galvanized the global techno community. Creating a lush, hypnotic groove out of minimal aesthetics and a crafty sample of Kate Bush's “Under the Ice”, the song signaled a genuine and inspired new voice in electronic music, landing on many year-end ‘best of’ lists. The Field - The More That I Do www.youtube.com/watch?v=b0aI6CJHqKs For the first single “The More That I Do,” Willner chops up the obscure Cocteau Twins tune “Lorelei” into a thick, almost cacophonous cluster of percussive bliss.

Yes, I do wonder that too, and I do agree that a Kate album of traditional songs would be superb! Thanks for the links (as always)! --Paul--
