Tori amos - A Case of You (Joni Mitchell Cover)

Beautiful version of Joni Mitchell's song "A case of you". Performed by the wonderful Tori Amos.

Lyrics:

Just before our love got lost you said
"I am as constant as the northern star"
And I said, "Constantly in the darkness
Where's that at
If you want me I'll be in the bar"
On the back of a cartoon coaster
In the blue T.V. screen light
I drew a map of Canada
Oh Canada
With your face sketched on it twice

In my blood like holy wine
You taste so bitter and so sweet
Well, I could drink a case of you, darling
And I would still be on my feet
I would still be on my feet

Oh I am a lonely painter
I live in a box of paints
I'm frightened by the devil
And I'm drawn to those ones that ain't afraid
I remember that time you told me
"Love is touching souls"
Surely you touched mine
'Cause part of you pours out of me
In these lines from time to time

My blood
My holy wine
Tastes so bitter and so sweet
Well I could drink a case of you, darling
And I would still be on my feet
I would still be on my feet

I met a woman
She had a mouth like yours
She knew your devils and your deeds
And she said, "Go to him, stay with him
But be prepared to bleed"

My blood
My holy wine
Tastes so bitter and so sweet
Well I could drink a case of you, darling
And I would still be on my feet
I would still be on my feet

i absolutely love joni's version but once i found out tori covered it, come on' ya gotta show some favortism. tori's emotion is other worldly. she's one of the few artists who can do a cover justice

[weeredfrog]

personally I like to take them as separate entities, I think Joni would be proud of this cover.

[SupernalOne]

I love Tori, but no one does this better than Joni

Not too bad, but too much affectation in the vocal. It's brave to try this Joni Mitchell song ( which is maybe her best) but Prince and Diana Krall come closest to the perfection of the original on the Blue album. After 40 years, there really isn't anyone who comes close to the sincerity and pain of the original.
