We can appreciate the happy days more because of the sad ones.....We are all human and experience both...I agree, it's not healthy to be sad and depressed for any long period of time....music is like an old friend...there's a song for every day and every different mood....that's the beauty of art....we are so lucky to be able to enjoy it all and feel that connection....
Adored this song I play it a lot it is my favourite gbirthday song I was born on christmas day yeah love you joni thanks for sharing agin i can't get tired of it !
I'm listening to this on Christmas Day. More than anyone, this fabulous woman captured my deepest emotions and put them into gorgeous images. Words fail me when it comes to a talent such as this; she will surely go down in history as one of the greatest poet/singer/songwriters of all time.
I am a 65 year old Hoodrat and i like my hard-core jazz and other assorted obcure hits but i too am in awe of Joni Mitchell a true "Goddess of the Arts"!
I like what you had to say about Joni....."she's a gift, and we're fortunate to live in her time"!
Yeah, i agree with so many others here that BLUE is an iconic recording - back when artists concerned themselves with making albums filled with good songs. "River" is heartbreakingly sad and impossibly gorgeous, too. joni mitchell's talent takes my breath away...
This has been one of my favourite Christmas songs since I was little. Her version is absolutely beautiful.
Even though it is a sad Christmas song, sometimes the holidays hold sad memories for people. My family went through a hard time 4 years ago at Christmas, and like this song, I wish I could have just escaped from it all, get away and not even have to deal with it all.
Perhaps the best 'modern' Christmas song ever written... Joni's lyrics are nothing short of understated beauty. They seem to mean more and more with each passing year.
It's just so wonderful as it encapsulates the pain associate with loss. There is nothing like the awful feeling associated with what is and what we want it to rather be. Depending on what it is we mourn, the pain lessens but it never goes away. Thank goodness it does fade from our daily consciousness. Peace and love to all who at this time of the year have to deal with the pain of loss.
Magical music - so clean & fresh after all these years - I think everyone has a memory about this song - mine is chucking a bird at Christmas - we had been listening to this over Christmas & then the words 'lost the best baby I ever had' meant something to me weeks later - by then there was no going back!
Yes, me too, but because as I listen to the words, it reminds me of the first time I heard it, Nov, 2006 a month after my husband lost his battle with cancer at only 48.....this is the 3rd Xmas without him, still as unbearable as the first, and now I've moved from NY to Fla. with our daughter....stays pretty green here too....would give anything to be in the snow with him againin NY..........
This song reminds me of all that is good about this time of the season and helps me let go of the worries I hold onto during the stressful christmas season. Love you Joni!
Joni is the female Don Henley...without the anger and 'edge' so much. Both extraordinary crafters of lyrics as well as perfomers who successfully get across what they've been writing about. This is one memorable piece.
Don Henley is a great songwriter- not just good. Great. But I think Don would freely admit that Joni is on a plane rarely attained by anyone, regardless of gender. Possible contenders: Paul simon. Leonard Cohen. Lennon/McCartney. Short list. But Desperado and a handful of others are sublime, absolutely no doubt.
Different strokes, my friend. Joni sings the whole human experience, a lot of which is difficult. Want happy? American Idle starts here again soon. Lot of pep, no thought, no depth, just like the vast majority of today's American music.
that comment, directed to only mitcheltonmilo, was ill advised. I apologize. the thread is allegedly directed to comments about "River" and joni mitchell. I found his remark deeply offensive, but I didn't help matters by diving into the same septic tank. Mea culpa. thanks for letting me breathe.
What a hauntingly beautiful song, a very nice change from the sappy peace-love-joy Christmas songs. Especially for those of us that aren't feeling full of holiday cheer.
Different strokes, my friend. Joni sings the whole human experience, a lot of which is difficult. Want happy? American Idle starts here again soon. Lot of pep, no thought, no depth, just like the vast majority of today's American music.
yes, it's Joni. writing, singing, playing the piano, or the guitar, or the dulcimer, with complete mastery. the she weaves a melancholy-chorded Jingle Bells just sets of the poignancy of the rest of the song perfectly. there aren't many perfect songs. this is one.
ah the version we usualy hear in the radio is the Sarah Mc Lachlan version of river which i also like and is the mostly played in the radio i heard it also at the casino in las vegas
the holidays are famous for longing, as well as joy. I know of no song that captures this duality as well as River. The woman is one of a handful of no-doubt genius musicians of the twentieth century.
They also gave us Neil Young, Leonard Cohen, Gordon Lightfoot, The Band... and others I'm sure I forget at the moment. But it does take a lot to atone for Celine Dion...
oh my. I block her out of my consciousness, Avril of The Perpetual Whine. She's the Un-Joni, just one tedious piss and moan session after another, with no melodic sense, turgid lyrics, and an attitude of unrelenting entitlement and self pity.
ive heard a lot of versions of this song now and not having any nostaglic bias towards this version, i would still say this is by far the best. Many people say it's not the the saddest, but she sings it with so much raw emotion, it's difficult for anyone to match it.
my god, she slays me. no one can write or sing about lost love the way joni mitchell does. this and "amelia" capture all the regret, hurt and longing you feel at the end of a relationship.
I love joni she's so soulful and perfect for when you are feeling just a little meloncoholy. Hope that you are over the break up - it's difficult - I know
nobody does what she does better...most people take a while to "warm up" to her at first listen but if you listen to her when you are alone/uninterrupted you'll become a fan for sure. Blue and For the roses are my fave albums by Joni.
A definitive for my top ten songs of all time,as well as little green,what a voice ,powerful ,soft emotional . Thank god for all the pop crap of the seventies that lead me to Joni and in particular "Blue" posibly the best album ever??,Janis Ian and my all time favourite Harry Chapin all great singer songwriters,songs with stories .
It´coming on Christmas they´re cutting down trees Putting up reindeer and singing songs of joy and peace I wish I had a river I could skate away on But it don´t snow here it stays pretty green I´m gonna make a lot of money then I´m gonna quit this crazy scene I wish I had a river I could skate away on because I made my baby cry You tried hard to help me and you put me at ease Then loved me so naughty made me week in my knees I wish I had a river I could skate away on.... Superb song

This music should not be "embraced." Don't jump on me about this, but this type of music is incredbily unhealthy to get wrapped up in. So many of us in the 70's were listening to Joni, Neil Young, etc., and we were revelling in the depression that the music brought with it. The world is NOT gloomy, sad, horrible, and hopelessly unjust. Enjoy the music, but don't become it. Don't embrace it, unless you want to end up "cynical and drunk and boring someone in some dark cafe," like Joni.
"What is a poet? An unhappy man who hides deep anguish in his heart, but whose lips are so formed that when the sigh and cry pass through them, it sounds like lovely music.... And people flock around the poet and say: 'Sing again soon' - that is, 'May new sufferings torment your soul but your lips be fashioned as before, for the cry would only frighten us, but the music, that is blissful.'"

Joni Mitchell is the best female singer/songwriter of our time. It's a shame her work is not embraced as it should be these days.

This music should not be "embraced." Don't jump on me about this, but this type of music is incredbily unhealthy to get wrapped up in. So many of us in the 70's were listening to Joni, Neil Young, etc., and we were revelling in the depression that the music brought with it. The world is NOT gloomy, sad, horrible, and hopelessly unjust. Enjoy the music, but don't become it. Don't embrace it, unless you want to end up "cynical and drunk and boring someone in some dark cafe," like Joni.

"What is a poet? An unhappy man who hides deep anguish in his heart, but whose lips are so formed that when the sigh and cry pass through them, it sounds like lovely music.... And people flock around the poet and say: 'Sing again soon' - that is, 'May new sufferings torment your soul but your lips be fashioned as before, for the cry would only frighten us, but the music, that is blissful.'"
-Kierkegaard
