Joni Mitchell? Just listen to this song; it says it all. She is brilliant lyrics, musical innovation, poetry and painting. She weaves it all together and her creation lives on as a painting in your head for years to come. I can't think of another artist who has combined all these artistic forces together with such beauty and intensity. I am grateful beyond words for every gift she has shared with the world.
@MonacoBlast Joni is only the greatest lyricist and most inventive and evolving female singer/writer of the 20th Century!!! Check her out! There are NO contemporary equivalents!
wow, does it get any better than this. decades later this song still resonates and centers me like very few do. that is the power of poetry and music. all thanks to Joni....!!!!
Ahhh! Straight to my heart. Straight to the truth. Joni just doesn't give a guy.... or herself anything to hide behind. What a beautiful, talented, flawed, sweet, sweet voice... and soul. A woman with much to say. And a gift for saying it.
This is one Joni's most powerful songs. How could so much beauty, intelligence, integrity, vocal and instrumental virtuosity and truth be in one human being? Nearly every other person in her genre, the singer/songwriter, either worships at her feet or stands in awe of her. I still feel sometimes like she must have written this song about me, one of the greatest signs of a great songwriter/lyricist.
This was from Miles of Aisles the live album. It's my favorite live album and favorite Joni album!

This song is sooooo deep! Her analysis of a fucked-up relationship that so many can relate to. Love the last chord. BTW, nice montage!

Really ask yourself this question-
Is it all books and words
Or do you really feel it?
Do you really laugh?
Do you really care?
DO YOU REALLY SMILE?
WHEN YOU SMILE.

she's the best songwriter/player/singer ever, unfortunally she's a woman and this is a men's world, so she is underrated...too much underrated.

In 1974 Joni made a live album at the Hollywood Bowl; all of it great sounding stuff.
