    to me thats the point .

    its about the ruin and commercialization of our world and society in general .

    to me , it seems like you got caught up in the unspoken images (since there were no 'tv commercials' or the like mentioned) of the ruin of 'paradise' , which also means the song hit its mark perfectly .

  • Joni Mitchell is and always will be one the most heartfelt and honest artists ever. If you listen to the words, regardless of the tune, you'd need a black heart of stone not to appreciate what Joni is saying. A real song that actually communicates a real meaning that relates to the real world. I love hard rock but this song talks about being shat on like no other. It fuckin' rocks and anyone who can't see that must be dead.

  • Wow...I never knew this was a remake. Glad to hear the original.

  • @dljc1979 Ahhhhh, comments!

  • @Earthdogbonzo3 | YOU ARE SO FUCKING BACKWARDS AND IGNORANT AND IDIOTIC IT IS LITERALLY HURTING ME TO HAVE READ YOUR MESSAGE.

  • holy smokes this original is so much better then the remake in my opinion. this song reminds me of when i was really young and my parents were still together. just saying its a beautiful song.dont flame me!

  • @MusicForYourFunk You got me! I really pounced on this in an aggressive manner! It's the kind of piece where, let's say you were looking to write a catchy jingle, you might lift a progression from it, if not seek to use it in its entirety. As slick as i think it is, Joni's voice and playing paint a mood that can be unsettling with the message conveyed in the lyrics. Also: my apologies to all the yuppies whom i may have offended: sip your Latte!

  • @butterflysoda Actually, it's only a live version ;)

  • @yaweth2 you're crap

  • I dedicate this song to my now deceased 99 Saturn, Christine. Goodbye baby, wish I had treated ya better when you were here.
