Joni Mitchell is rated as one of the best songwriters of the 20th century. I believe it. "I could drink a case of you and I would still be on my feet..."
I actually heard James Blake's version first and instantly fell in love with the song. When I heard Joni Mitchell's version, I was blown away. She has a voice of an angel.. I love this even more. so beautiful. <3
James Blake just gave us teenagers a great alternative to this great song that seems to be not as attractive as it was once... But it's still a good song. And James Blake still made a great cover... And they both had their reasons to choose this song and there is a reason why we're sitting here listening to this and see all those memories pass by..
ahahah just came on here to be all like, "yo james blake totally covered this at the trocadero in phili last night!". But it looks like him covering this is old news lol. any way he was fucking awsome and this song was beautifully covered.
If I ever have a daughter, this will be the perfect song to give to her to help her cope with her first heartbreak.... All of her other songs are for everyday living :)
James fucking Blake covering Joni Mitchell? How disgusting. And all his internet friends thumbing it up too. All things considered there's nothing worse than James Blake.
@polyesterpoontang I wonder if you've taken the time to really listen to James Blake, or for that matter Joni Mitchell. Music is something, that, like everything else, changes over time. All of the modern musicians have been influenced by the musicians before them. James Blake decided to reference one of his influences in the way he felt he needed to. His music is just as honest and musical as the music of Joni's era, and that is what really matters, not a disgruntled comparison of the two.
Prince's cover is brilliant. Always nice to hear the original, though. Joni is something else. Not saying Prince's version is better, but there are two types of people who listen to music. Those who get Prince, and those who don't.
i luv how unpredictable Joni's voice is. i also luv the part where she says, "O Canada". now, that's what i call representation. u gotta luv Joni Mitchell. she has a voice like a chorus of 1,000 angels.
The emotional power and haunting loveliness of this ballad still shine, nearly 35 years after the first time I heard it. The Diana Krall cover is so good because the material is so good to start with. though surely Krall is a wonderful artist and does a very soulful cover of it.
I'm far too young to like Joni Mitchell, but I love everything she does. Her voice is unique and her lyrics and soulful.....sums up the feeling of love and infatuation exactly
Guys, please don't compare James Blake's cover to the original. There's a reason the original has been thriving for this long, there's a reason he wanted to cover the song. Look at it from the perspective that he was paying homage to Joni and not that "the cover version is better than the original". Because that's just wrong.
@clearcrimson While I agree wholeheartedly with your opinion--Joni's passion and vocal character is beyond extraordinary--others are welcome to hold their own opinions. It is not for you to decide what they should prefer. :)
@ricerice566 yes he did, but the wistfulness of Joni's tune he cannot capture. The feminine c'est la seul. Tears me up . . . I hope I'm beyond those aching years by now. Such sweet sorrow.
This is a brilliant song that catches inside the veins, halts me where I'm standing whenever I hear it. I don't know what all the discussion is about - should only be about the music, the artist, and it's effect on you, the listener, all these old years later. Thank you for the song!
@janemacdonnell1 On a side note, your rage is very un-Joni like. Sperm-gargler? Insulting my manliness? Did I in anyway do something of the sort to you? I hope not. If so, sorry. Truly.
OK cloverboy...just as an FYI, there is more than one person with access to this account, so you have received replies to your comment from several sources. I'm sure that you know many people on YouTube sip wine or whatever at the same time they are tapping on the keyboard ... so that typos are not uncommon. Let's just let it go and agree that we all love Joni...
@cloverboy75 hi Sperm gargler! No it is not the person tou insulted -claiming that she was not a writer?-- well this account is an alias for good reason. you on the other hand have no reason have no need to do so because you are living in a Govt.subsidised home and are a nasty and totally self -loathing little man(man-in gender not a man at all) 35 year old joke.Do me a favor,and try to respond -before your IQ drops below its regular 60%
@janemacdonnell1 wow. I point out a spelling mistake and you come up with all sorts of vuperative ad hominens. Good for you. There is help for that kind of unreasoning rage. Seek it.
@singapore7773 why are u jumping in? who invited you? I simply pointed out the irony of a writer making a basic spelling error. Of course it coudl have been unintentional. Let it go. This lady already showed her true hateful colours.
@cloverboy75 the reason i "jumped in" in an open forum no less is very simple. I doubt you have done a survey on the spelling ability of all paid writers. Apologia pro vita sua.
Now I've heard Joni Mitchell before, my dad is a huge fan. I've heard Little Green, I've heard Yellow Taxi, Help Me, etc. But never have I heard such beautiful words sang in the most perfect way until I heard this song.
EL TIEMPO ES INEXORABLE, Y TE OFRECE SABIDURIA, LA HISTORIA SE BASA EN HECHOS VIVIDOS, Y NOSOTROS TENEMOS UNA GRAN HISTORIA, CHIMBAROZO COTOPAXI, SIEMPRE SERE TUYA,
This song reminds me of a long relationship with a man who was so unreliable but completely engaging, brilliant and fun. He was terribly broken but I loved, loved, loved him. When I met his mother she warned me - in a kind way - that I should be cautious.
This song is really intoxicating... Bittersweet, brilliant. Really gets you imagining you are crying over a bottle of liquor for someone automatically when you hear it. That's what I felt when I first heard this.
I miss kelly moran I love her so much this song make me cry so much im happy for her she thes joy in my heart and in my head and my soul you rock kelly
Listening to this song makes me feel like I need to thank God that He gave me a mind so that I can half way appreciate those amazing lyrics ,and the incredible musical talent this woman has.
There was a time when music was creative and could be considered art. Today it's become a vice... fame, money, mediocrity, award shows, "Idol" franchises. What a sad future we look toward.
What a sad, pessimistic view of the world you have. Way to shut things out. Music is cheaper and easier to make and distribute than ever before, there a gazillion bands and genres out there today. If you can't find anything there that moves you, well that says more about you than it does the state of the world.
@Shirokinukatsukami Agreed. I'm tired of people who never tried to understand the music culture of today, let alone to actively look at the sheer variety that grew from the relatively small group of influences certain people hold on a pedestal.
@Shirokinukatsukami what an intolerant troll you are. Disagreement with another person's view does not merit such character judgment. I happen to agree with ciflejeune, does that make me a sad pathetic person too? Sure there is some good music today, but on the whole, the music industry is inarguably much more fixated with money and fame rather than artistry. This can't be argued.
i hate to break it to you, but "the music industry" is certainly not some monolithic entity. In the post-modern world, niche geres fill niche markets. If you choose to turn a blind eye to the myriad of music being made out there, that is your choice. And yeah, your kind of traditionalism does kind of make you sad and pathetic. Sorry, i just don't like your narrow mindedness and misguided preconceptions.
@Shirokinukatsukami I'm going to end this and ask that if you wish to continue instigating petty feuds and making hyperbolic judgments about strangers over the internet, please take it elsewhere. Ciflejeune made one harmless general remark and you've turned it into some kind of exaggerated and needless debate. Joni Mitchell's music is beautiful, and that is all that needs to be said. Good day.
My comments to the original poster, stand, as do mine to you. Don't get defensive about it. Relax, and try to engage with the world that is out there, that includes a plethora of new and wonderful music, contrary to your narrow views about the state of the "music industry"
You are right, there is no point in engaging in petty feuds, however the ironic thing there is that it is you who happens to be making hyperbolic judgments.
This is a beautiful song. i absolutely fell in luv wth it since i heard it in the pracical magic movie, where nic kidman is singing to it in the film in the car. gorgeous.
@nnamahk that is so beautiful. i am sorry your wife passed away. your post made me hope that when i pass people will listen to joni and be reminded of me.

Ummm, is your comment an attempt at irony?
i hate to break it to you, but "the music industry" is certainly not some monolithic entity. In the post-modern world, niche geres fill niche markets. If you choose to turn a blind eye to the myriad of music being made out there, that is your choice. And yeah, your kind of traditionalism does kind of make you sad and pathetic. Sorry, i just don't like your narrow mindedness and misguided preconceptions.

@Shirokinukatsukami I'm going to end this and ask that if you wish to continue instigating petty feuds and making hyperbolic judgments about strangers over the internet, please take it elsewhere. Ciflejeune made one harmless general remark and you've turned it into some kind of exaggerated and needless debate. Joni Mitchell's music is beautiful, and that is all that needs to be said. Good day.

My comments to the original poster, stand, as do mine to you. Don't get defensive about it. Relax, and try to engage with the world that is out there, that includes a plethora of new and wonderful music, contrary to your narrow views about the state of the "music industry"
You are right, there is no point in engaging in petty feuds, however the ironic thing there is that it is you who happens to be making hyperbolic judgments.
Continue onwards to old fogeyism...

@cliflejeune Joni's music overflows with soul. Music certainly is not the same today.

I'm so grateful to J.M. for giving us such exquisite music. This is an outrageously beautiful song -

My wife loved Joni. She had every album. My wife died in 1982 at age 27, and here I sit alone and crying, listening to the music...
