Diana Krall - A Case of You (Joni Mitchell Cover)

Diana Krall - A Case of You (Joni Mitchell Cover)

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 TV screen light
I drew a map of Canada
Oh, Canada
With your face sketched on it twice

Oh, you're in my blood like holy wine
You taste so bitter and you taste so sweet
Oh, I could drink a case of you, darling
And still be on my feet
I'd 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
I remember that time you told me
Love is touching souls
Surely you touched mine
Part of you pours out of me
In these lines from time to time

Oh, you're in my blood like holy wine
You taste so bitter and you taste so sweet
Oh, I could drink a case of you,
I could drink a case of you, darling
And still be on my feet
And still be on my feet

I met a woman she had a mouth like yours
She knew your life
She knew your devils and your deeds
And she said, go to him
Stay with him if you care
But be prepared to bleed

Oh, you're in my blood like holy wine
You taste so bitter and you taste so sweet
Oh, I could drink a case of you, darling
And still be on my feet
I'd still be on my feet

Beautiful...d.

[lordrodan]

such beautiful lyrics... nice version...

[ronberntson]

A very respectful interpretation - she's paid attention to the original. However, she's taken the song to a level that I think surpasses the original. Good stuff.

[SuperGlug]

The original song was so good. I don't like this cover. It would never have been a hit if this was the original. I love this of Ladies piano playing and her voice but this song is not for her. She is too jazy and this song doesn't suit such a treatment. I 'd like to hear the piano solo and no singing from this artist.

@MrDavis746 WHat about another Canadian ICON KD Lang. She also sings this beautifully. Well, KD masters everyy song, that goes without saying in my opinion.

This is such a beautiful rendition. I am quite the Joni Mitchell purist. And yet, this moved me so much. Thanks for sharing this.

[AdamAPhillips]

@bastardfingers Yep. Misses the mark. Badly.

[spudone1000]

I want to see her face while I am listening to her perform....

[iris3B]

One of my favorite covers of Joni's music ever!

[bastardfingers]

@MyPeace Absolutely. If it were possible to explain the beautiful irony that is lost in this cartoon the singer would be embarrassed.

[taniguchidesigns]

I love heariong different flavors of such a beautiful song....

[stringmeupscotty1]

Too many chords, too many notes, too much rubato, no groove. Listen to Joni. Less is more.....
