This song is so beautiful they played it at the funeral scene in Arlo Guthrie's "Alice's Restaurant" movie.

I heard this today on Sirius "deeptracks" and was like WTF was that??? It was so strange to me I had to look it up later. Im not a babyboomer so this stuff is new to me. This one was so weird to me, I liked it. The music breaks alot of laws theoretically but it makes sense here. Again, strange but beautiful.

I guess us baby boomers are on the way out - This song says it all (albeit 30-40 years ago). Loved Joni's music.

I love Joni and I especially loved this in Alice:s Restaurant

This is one of those songs that I love so much that I am instant friends with everyone who clicked the like button :) Awesome! Thanks for posting it. Reminds me of my last days in NYC before leaving the country. Extra-ordinarily beautiful.

@apostlethirteen Joni was already a successful and very good musician before she went to Laurel Canyon. She was ethereal, earnest and waif-like, so people thought she was 'lead' by many others.But Joni was ALWAYS herself and didn't 'need' Graham Nash, David Crosby et al to assist with her chord-changes & progressions! It was the early 70s and 'bedding' was in vogue! She liked to be 'in love' too. :)

@shastasladybear Yes it's from Alice's Restaurant, but not played by Joni. :)

Love it too. Suited the movie perfectly against that bleak snowy background.

This whole record is amazing!!

@5891jonathan CORRECT, I do it all the time in my own recordings!

@apostlethirteen ""We music geeks" call this song a chromatic progression where all the chords are related by a third... "

Look up "multi-tonic system," there are 5 possibilities for that system of organization, and this, as you say, illustrates a 3-tonic system (all tonics separated by major thirds), or at least a flirtation with it. The fact that she HEARD it, this early in her career, when she'd only had a few musician-boyfriends and no jazz experience at that point, continues to amaze me.

[apostlethirteen]

@tuxguys Formal training? If you consider how many of her boyfriends were musicians. professional or otherwise, as well as her collaborations with jazz artists later, it's obvious that she had plenty of "formal" training, if in "informal" settings.

"We music geeks" call this song a chromatic progression where all the chords are related by a third... kids make these songs by ear, grownups EXPECT what they've been programmed with through experience/training. View music as a baby would. Fresh,pure.
