For anyone who wants to read for me this song.... He just got off work me. Lying on my back and his head rested between my boobs. Arms wrapped around me. Only 2 pillar candles lighting the room. His eyes closed me singing the song word-for-word. I tickled him with the tips of my fingers on his head, his ears, neck. And tears silently rolling out of my eyes and my thought was "Oh my God, if i died right now i would die happy. This safe feeling, this comfort and happiness that almost makes me sick because it's so foreign to me. And i remember thinking this is what being in love and being loved back feels like". It was truly one of the happiest moments of my life, listening to this song. Now, every time I hear this song its like a dull knife being twisted in an old wound. God, wanting to go back to that exact moment. She says it best when she says so bitter sweet!
This song is about MY life.
Me too
It always amazing to me that she wrote this song at such a young age. This isa song that resonates so much more as you get older. She is a genius songwriter and singer and no mistake.
Yet another classic album that stands the test of time even 50+ years later. I remember seeing Joni many mornings in a little cafe on the corner of Thompson and Prince in Soho (NYC) in 1986/87. She must have been living in the area at the time, just as I was. She always sat by herself at a little table by the window writing in one journal or another (she usually had more than one). I never interrupted her or asked for her autography even though I wanted to. Our eyes did meet a couple of times, but all I could do was nod in recognition of her pure genius. I remember it vividly because I had just come back from living in Europe and I really hated my job at the time. I was just starting to lean into being a writer and seeing her on those special mornings gave me the reassurance that art and commerce can indeed co-exist. It was partly because of her that I quit that job and eventually moved to southern California, where I often had the pleasure of cruising up and down Laurel and Coldwater Canyon in a zippy little convertible. Shine on Joni Mitchell, Shine on!
This woman was so talented,alot better musician than Dylan and a brilliant song writer
Anybody who is old and jeep at the dealer who doesn't know shit and so walked to bus stop and back to get to work. And ergo I'm listening to this
Listening to my album now. 2024.
Awesome!!!!
Judy Collins???
Love you Joni❤

夢劇院《彩色相對論》原曲 (Original Song)
A marvelous talent. This song is timeless. Simultaneously catchy, deep, and poignant. Bravo 👏
I have loved you forever!
Un album meraviglioso.
Laurel Canyon had a special quirk that cause all this music. I lived the 70’s and remember some of it. I saw Joni twice in my life. Classy lady ✌🏼
Thousands of comments. Thousands and thousands thumbs up, not one thumbs down. You're heaven sent Joni.
Holy shit no wonder her music is so real and poetic, to have leonard cohen AND bob dylan encourage you😅
Incredible. Joni is a GODDESS.
..... nothing to add to Robin's comment : absolutely perfect .... except to say I am 79, 80 next month and in LOVE with a woman 21, also named Robin, a Very Unique person❤ ❤ ❤
can't stand her voice....
There's a good reason why the artists of her era admired her so much.
I'm sane, I really wore out this album. Love Joni think she gave me traveling feet 🐾🐾 Europe a few times and kick a few men out of my life.
I never tire of this song. Her vocals on this....perfect.
Hey...blue❤
I grew up by this river, near Saskatoon. I still miss it. I want to skate home on it too. Saskatoon ppl shout out! 🤘
Through all the years i love you joni
If you wanna hear the real better version, she absolutely butchers this song she cannot sing. Do you wanna hear a better version go to Counting crows
Joni nailed it . I'm having a bad day today and for some reason I remembered this song. I had to Google it cause I'm old but ain't senile. Ty Joni. We love you girl
Ella es un ser superior, un angel.
Su voz es un instrumento.
Pensamos que una nueva música, serena y en paz, habría de llegar. Esta es. Difícilmente se alcanzará la perfección y talento para cantar, componer o tocar así. Estamos navegando en la deshumanización mórbida. Sirva escuchar a Joni para animarnos a seguir el amor y la fe.
In the seventies I used to buy the best music I could afford, and Joni Mitchell healed my loneliness with her poetry and beautiful songs which I still listen today, after so many years.She has been my treasure island for which I am so grateful to her.
Very simple question don't abuse mother nature 😢😂🎉
No one but Joni Mitchell could have written this song. The sparse, visceral images we all recognize are in fact well-fitting pieces of a puzzle that might take years to understand. She even breaks the rules of poetry she herself sets out by adding at the end of every verse one singular inner thought bubble, an ‘apropos of nothing’ statement of plaintive regret where we only expect a refrain. It’s fascinating each time and I don’t recall anyone else ever doing that, like a heart to heart conversation with us as we reminisce over a heartbreak. I’m in a state of forever awe with Joni Mitchell. She has sung much of my life with greater understanding that even I had of it, all the while offering her own heart without reserve and a music lesson I would take with me the rest of my life. Just pure love for her.
The best rock album of all time
God I hate her music.
This could have been a great album, if somebody else sang on it…
How beautiful! You are really talented! Thank you for sharing. I hope you have a happy day dear friend💕
Joni Mitchell.....Joni has a lovely voice and composes such lovely songs! Larry Davies
This song takes me back to the drive ins in the 70s playing over the pa systems
:-)
I need help I'm sick
Genius.
Help me I think I'm farting In here again When I get that crazy feeling I know I'm in trouble again
Joni Mitchell, Legend. Hello from San Antonio, Texas at Six AM 7/20/24!
Oh Joni. You are indeed as constant as the Northern Star. I could drink a case of you and I would still be on my feet! 💕
I feel selfish. Sorry everyone.
