  • I really wish every young person who likes what they think is music nowadays would take the time to listen to this amazing lady--her lyrics can reveal new meanings even after listening to the same tune for years--and always accompanied by the best musicians in the business,,,this is from Heijira--1975 i think

  • Here's the "Deal" with Joni Mitchell

    -Her Music and Lyrics are Intensely Personal--

    Thus Intensely Personal People Can Gyrate To Her Beat and Weep Over Her Incredible Ourpourings that are -- intensely persional and autobiographical...

    Extremely well crafted poetry and imagry hellp her depict, thus they serve her greatly---it flows...

    A Great Talent with Words.

    So Be IT!

  • The Audio and some of the Video is from, "Joni Mitchell: Painting With Words and Music", which came out in 1998. For some reason, someone has superimposed footage from "Shadows & Light" over the newer footage in places but the Audio performance (and Video that begins at around 1:29) is definitely from, "Painting With Words..."

  • @TheChaNar

    I think Gillian Welch comes close.

    Keep the faith. There are still young people out there making some truly beautiful music and people listening to it. It's just marketing that keeps some music popular. The great gulf between some really important music and the mainstream gets wider and wider. Go digging.

  • this song kills me

  • @WDockery

    Sorry, but the ¨Shadows & Light¨ tour was when the genius, Jaco Pastorius, was still alive and he played with Joni on the entire tour. I was lucky to have attended one of the concerts which stands out as the best live performances I have ever had the privilege of attending.

  • @TISSANDIER

    So true. Still waiting for the Joni Mitchell of this generation.

  • simply haunting

  • Oh, and as to dating this, 1998 is a much better guess than "Shadows And Light" due to the hairstyle. Check the cover of the Shadows And Light long playing record album (and there's a clip in this mix too from that) and dig the Farrah-like curls. The eighties were different...

  • As to information, the base track (the blue-lit circular stage shots), as well as the song version, are probably the one from an invitation-only concert called "Painting With Words And Music" from 1998. The band was Larry Klein, Brian Blade, Greg Leisz and Mark Isham. Eagle Rock Entertainment handles the DVD, I think. That was the one where she used the really reflective dark maple solid-body guitar (custom, probably). Maybe the best performance of this song I know of that's gotten to video.

  • Amen jrmirinaz! This is classic art at its best. God how I miss it.
