Piece of my heart goes to you
Janis Joplin, the legend of a soulful singer who bloomed her way into the rock and roll era. When people would hear her sing they would stop in their tracks to take a glimpse of the rock icon performing. At times you couldn’t help but stare at the starlet as she roared her soul through her voice. On stage she was an actor that exuberated all possession of what her little frame could hold and gave it all to her audience. The music she sang was deep, powerful and compelling. Every song was like telling a story, through her voice you could hear the pain and sorrow she went through as she dwelled into her journeys. Stealing the hearts of many, she become an iconic legend that people to this day 30 years later would still listen to her music and feel the tremor of her voice singing over the microphone. You could only sit and imagine the painful loss she had endured while attaining to the dangerous road to success. ‘Me and Bobby McGee’ is one of the greatest songs that I personally could sing on all hours of the day. When describing each moment of where she is, you can feel the rain trickling down your face as your looking for someone to stop so they can give you a lift. As she gazed into her partner you can sense the love she craved for him. ‘Freedom is just another word for nothing else to lose’ is such a powerful message, although when Janis sings this part she carefully slows downs and pronounces each word so that the audience could hear her and the words. This was a love that Janis once had, and then he slipped away as the cold New Orleans night. It truly reflects her real love life, has it for a brief moment that slips away before she could hold on. You could tell that Janis didn’t sing only about one ‘Bobby McGee’s’ but many that had escaped her life time and time again. A woman to love and to be loved, that was Janis.
