wherever good dreams go

[hoops]

i've been wanting to say this for the longest time. "Wherever Good Dreams Go" is the most heart wrenching song i have ever heard. i have never been brought to such emotion by any song in my life as i have by this one. Janis, how do you do this? so many of your songs rip emotion out of my soul, and tho you know i love you, your songs are not the only ones...but i have never been so vulnerable as when i listen to this single song. wow!
peace

Yup. Janis is really good at that, to say the least.

[Randy & Betty in Pa]

i have never been so vulnerable as when i listen to this single song.

Hoops, my friend... We rudies will protect you while your vulnerable so long as you promise not to steal our cars.....

Best to you....

Each time I listen to this song I think of a friend and former teacher of mine who lost her eldest son, David, at the age of five many years ago. He died of cancer.

A wonderful song remember him.

Janis says "I can't Forget" is her saddest song ever written, I think "Wherever Good Dreams Go" is.

[hoops]

Does anyone know if this song is on an album?

[Jim in Chattanooga, TN]

I wondered that also. What CD has "I Can't Forget"?

[Kathleen Brogan]

"Wherever Good Dreams Go" is on "Unreleased 3 Society's Child"
"I Can't Forget" is an extra bonus track on the Japanese Import version of "Billie's Bones", and it's also an excellent, sad song, which I like best of the two.

....Never got to say what was in my heart
'til you went away
it haunts me still
it always will
I can't forget

[Mimi]

I haven't got the Japanese version of Billie's Bones with "I can't forget" on it...
but after all I read here I'm very curious... may anyone share this song with me as an mp3 file?

I haven't yet heard the song mentioned here, but I will definitely say that all vulnerability and emotion comes to the surface in a tidal wave when I listen to Janis's sad ones. l'm not often caught with a tear in my eye, but I can't say that any more now. :)

I actually wrote "Wherever Good Dreams Go" after a dear friend of mine lost his son.

[aabram]

Janis,

I've got one of those friends too. I don't see Heather any more, but she's Rosemary's other Godmother. She lost her son Daniel to Schizophrenia, and had some terrible marriages. She moved to Ayrshire. I've lost her address.

Janis ,
i remember reading that in your liner notes. i don't know if it is something we all have a feeling for, i mean i have no children, have never beeen pregnant, and have only experienced the loss of a child through others, but i have this feeling and fear that it is possibly the worst feeling that a parent could ever endure and I think you have captured that feeling perfectly. i don't know, maybe it's because i've seen my mom's face on more than one occasion when she almost lost me that i feel like i almost know.

That song is my favorite and my second favorite ever is 'When I Lay Down'. God, what a fantastic song. My third favorite is a live version of 'Society's Child.' 'At Seventeen' is probably Janis' absolute best, but I really can't listen to that song without feeling majorly depressed. There are some places I just don't want to go.

[saxman]

i Love it as well . Hi azure hows ebay going?

[Beth]

I love this song, too. I remember singing it to our youngest rocking her to sleep as an infant...
