Blue, 1971
Written by Joni Mitchell
This song is about Mitchell's daughter, whom she gave up for adoption in 1965 (they later reunited). This was not publicly known until someone who knew Mitchell in the 1960s sold the story, one that was clearly not hers to tell. "So you sign all the papers in the family name / You're sad and you're sorry, but you're not ashamed / Little Green, have a happy ending." This is not the kind of song I usually put on here; I like songs that are fun to listen to in the car. This is raw and personal, but it is pretty.
