- 2 great remixes + rarities. See the song listing here
Amy's take on a Joni Mitchell classic stay faithful for the most part to the original only changing some lyrics to reflect inflation and gender addressing.
The remixes are true to the original version, no dance mixes this time. Some of the original elements of the song are brought out while any additional production merely compliments the original. The Alternative mix starts out accoustic and builds up to full scale and has a different instrumental break.
There is an song called Politics of Kissing which is only available here and is a nice uptempo pop diddy. While both this song and Taxi are not Christian songs they are still good clean and non-threatening pop songs.
The Heart In Motion medly mix is not very good in my opinion. The songs do not blend well. Most are rather edited together, suddenly cutting into each other rather than segueing. Perhaps if Amy would have performed this medley like she did with her Age To Age Medley it would have came off better.
Here is the line up:
1. Paradise Mix
2. Alternative Mix
3. Politics Of Kissing
4. Heart In Motion Medley Mix

- Great mixes and extra goodies!
Amy Grant has a sweet voice that can make anyone smile. She takes the Joni Mitchell classic and brings it up-to-date but retains the integrity of the song with the guitar sounds that made the original such a classic.
There are 2 versions of BIG YELLOW TAXI that are not the same as teh one of the album. More organic sound but so pure.
A rare song: "Politics of Kissing" is included as well as a Heart in Motion medley!
I highly recommend this CD maxi-single if you can find it anywhere. Good Luck! I'm keeping mine!
