[vaughnsalem]

a true artist,,,nothing to prove but she proved

[vaughnsalem]

Joni Mitchell transends time ,she is a time machine in her self , ,,,

[coolnerd83]

Lovely.

[adamscott179]

my favorite song of hers, by far. i was surprised she (they) didn't include this in her "miles of aisles" album.

[77sunsetable]

got this album from my brother Clouds and I fell in love with her voice

[lilredscout]

classic early Joni. So different now. Still amazing.

[sbowenh]

Sublime! Joni is the queen of my musical pantheon, and this is a lovely live recording. Thank you so much.

[MyMoppet52]

One of my favorite songs by her. Thank you.

A woman I've been seeing for over twenty years, not all of them together, said that the first time she saw me "you stood out like a ruby in a Black man's ear."

I was living with someone else then but she knew what she wanted and waited until that tune ended and we have been together, off and on, ever since.

This is just bragging but it made me feel so good when she said it.

[deborahkauffman09]

Joni was hooked up with Graham Nash for a while, not Crosby or Stills

try fred neil

this just flat out sounds like a perfect description of steven stills and how I would have felt had I met him back then like her.

[nicodagger]

@HerFieldDay me too!!

[puddypuss]

Ive had this lp for years. from what I understand its about david crosby, but I cant really fit him in with the imagery or words...

[equifilibricum]

@puddypuss ex Byrd David Crosby: Can you fly I heard you can? Can you fly . . . fly . . . fly?  Like an eagle doing your hunting from the sky.

[deborahkauffman09]

classic cool...

[rosesredvioletsblue]

Perfect..  amazing lyrics!!! Love this.

ty, for uploading.

[apadon01]

I think this about Steven Stills. Awesome song...

[Seasass]

@apadon01 I think you've got her mixed up with Judy Collins :)

[wiseoneetest]

Bonnie Raitt does a magnificent rendition of this song.If you can find it, its defenitly one to catch

[bananacreamanarchy]

So good. Is she singing about Leonard Cohen or somebody else?

[jethrose]

@bananacreamanarchy

No not this one. The one about Leonard Cohen is called "The Gallery" also form "Clouds"

[bananacreamanarchy]

@jethrose she wrote more than one song about leonard cohen.  Blue Boy was also about him and so was Rainy Night House...and I thought this one was too. But if it wasn't about Cohen, then who was it about? (I think she said somewhere that most of her early songs were inspired by some ex-boyfriend).

[thimoneus]

She's as talented as they come.

[ScotsAtHeart]

wish I could find the bonnie raitt version...

[excursustoo]

I've been looking for it my ownself.

[solobolo1]

@ScotsAtHeart

You will find it on Bonnie's 'Streetlights' album.

@ScotsAtHeart



[WillInNewHaven]

@WillInNewHaven YouTube won't let me post a link to a youtube video. Weird. Bonnie's version IS on here.

[giorgiopicker]
