Our Favourite Songs Inspired By The Words Of Poets [Playlist]


David Bowie Iron Maiden Stevie Nicks Nick Cave Emilie Autumn Joni Mitchell Hole

Poetry and music have always gone hand in hand, and some of the greatest musicians in the world can also be called fantastic poets. But time and time again artists are inspired by iconic poems; either in fleeting lines, entire verses or the subject matter itself. Here are just a few of our favourite songs which have been influenced by universally adored poetry. 

1. The Man Who Sold the World - David Bowie

While the title track from his 1970 album reflects Bowie's struggle with self-identity, the opening verse of the track is based on the opening verse of the 1899 poem Antigonish by Hugh Mearns, from his play The Psycho-ed. The poem is about a ghost that wanders a haunted house, which makes for a startlingly profound thematic comparison between the poem and Bowie's song.

Official updates concerning the condition of Joni Mitchell, who was hospitalised back in March, have been few and far between. However, fellow musician David Crosby has revealed that, while she is recovering at home, she is unable to speak.

In conversation with HuffPost Live, the 73 year old guitarist answered a Twitter question about Mitchell’s condition. “To my knowledge she is not speaking yet. She is home, she is in care, she is recovering,” he responded. “She took a terrible hit. She had an aneurysm, and nobody found her for a while. And she’s going to have to struggle back from it the way you struggle back from a traumatic brain injury.”

Joni Mitchell Not In A Coma, Contrary To Reports


Joni Mitchell

Despite reports suggesting that her health had deteriorated, iconic singer-songwriter Joni Mitchell is apparently not in a coma. TMZ reported on Tuesday afternoon that the 71 year old’s health had taken a turn for the worse after a lengthy stay in hospital, and that she was completely unresponsive and unable to take care of herself.

Leslie Morris, her close friend of 44 years, was reported to have filed documents to obtain legal conservatorship over her, but her official website said "she comprehends, she's alert and she has her full senses. A full recovery is expected." The documents simply relate to the power to make care decisions in the absence of 24-hour medical care once she's out of hospital.
