You did well. It's really the only one you need. This song is perfection in four minutes, and the first line of the last verse makes me cry for no reason at all.
If I payed enough attention to how truly talented in every aspect of singing and songwriting Joni Mitchell is, I probably would have written myself off as never having a chance and just simply listen to her. Thank God I was too distracted. Her music is in it's own category that stovepipes right up to the word 'music'.
What's that four stringed lap instrument called again? She wrote alot of great stuff on that thing in the early years. A Case of You is a beautiful example. "On the back of a cartoon coaster - in the blue t.v. screen light - I drew a map of Cananda - O Canada - with your face scetched on it twice."
Well, Joni had to have her bohemian days, or she wouldn't be who she is. I so love this song, because it seems she was getting back on her feet - not that she wasn't ever off them all that much!
I am 46, and I remember my sweet aunt putting me down for nap, strumming her guitar and singing this song. "Carey" was a great Joni Mitchell song and her legendary voice honestly placed her at the TOP!
Absolutely wonderful. Must be 40 years since I first heard this, as magical as ever. Ms Mitchell's voice is a bit off now (fags to blame) but she was hot back in the day...
@sTapleEVA You cannot be serious. Fags are _cigarettes_ in the UK, where I come from. Does that make sense as to why her pipes are not what they were?
I keep going back and forth among SONG TO A SEAGULL, BLUE, HEJIRA, COURT & SPARK, and DON JUAN as my all time favorite Joni Mitchell album. If forced at gunpoint to name one, it would be between BLUE and HEJIRA; it depends on which one I'm listening to at the moment. Has there ever been as great a singer/songwriter as she?
Joni Mitchell's voice is borderline orgasmic. This is one of my favourite tunes of hers, but any one can almost make come in my pants, Sorry for the vulgarity.
we'll laugh and toast to nothing and smash our empty glasses down. Lets have a round for these freaks and these soldiers a round for these friends of mine...........

Carey Raditz dropped out of UNC in the late sixties and spent some time in Greece where he "inspired" a certain singer songwriter. He is the same
"bright red devil" mentioned in another song.
