Joni Mitchell - This Flight Tonight

This Flight Tonight - from the Album "Blue" by Joni Mitchell, realesed 1971. The Paintings by Joni Mitchell.

This Flight Tonight

Look out the left, the captain said
The lights down there that's where we'll land
I saw a falling star burn up
Above the Las Vegas sands
It wasn't the one that you gave to me
That night down south between the trailers
Not the early one
That you can wish upon
Not the northern one
That guides in the sailors

Oh starbright starbright
You've got the lovin' that I like all right
Turn this crazy bird around
I shouldn't have got on this flight tonight

You got the touch so gentle and sweet
But you've got that look so critical
Now I can't talk to you baby
I get so weak
Sometimes I think love is just mythical
Up there's a heaven
Down there's a town
Blackness everywhere and little lights shine
Oh blackness blackness dragging me down
Come on light the candle in this poor heart of mine

Oh starbright starbright
You've got the lovin' that I like all right
Turn this crazy bird around
I shouldn't have got on this flight tonight

I'm drinking sweet champagne
Got the headphones up high
Can't numb you out
Can't drum you out of my mind
They're playing Goodbye baby
Baby Goodbye
Ooh ooh love is blind

Up go the flaps down go the wheels
I hope you got your heat turned on baby
I hope they finally fixed your automobile
I hope it's better when we meet again baby

Starbright starbright
You got the lovin' that I like all right
Turn this crazy bird around
I shouldn't have got on this flight tonight.

Nazareth made this song a bit more groovy. There's no point in arguing though because fans of either version are always going to like theirs better. Joni fans like this because it's the original and Nazareth fans like that one better because they made it into a rock song. It's like trying to convince a Christian that God doesn't exist, you just can't do it, they won't listen.

@Shun101010 I'm a music fan. I knew a long time only the version of Nazareth, until I heard Joni Mitchell and was thrilled. That's all.

[Shun101010]

@tojugula that doesn't prove my staement wrong. it only tells me that you prefer the Joni version better. it has nothing to do with which one you heard first. it matters who you're more a fan of.

@Shun101010 It was not my intention to criticize your statement, Sorry! I simply don't understand why so many make out of the music a kind of "religion"?! And clear, both side.. instead to enjoy and to love the music. Sorry for my english, regards. :).

All you peeps arguing over wether this or the Nazareth version is best are narrow minded blinkered fools ... they're both great versions of a classic song , which one I prefer at any given time depends on my mood

@tojugula

Thanks for uploading this! I've listened to Nazareth rock this out for 30+ years and had no clue it was a Joni song. I dig both versions and it makes me respect her music even more. Thanks again.

[francesisbustin]

I love Joni so much! She just has the most beautiful voice and she doesn't need anything more.

[EIGHTIEESALWAYS]

What a handsome woman. :)

[tessalovesdnb]

I <3 Mama Joni.

[buritta89]

I like her crazy tunings too...

[abandcalledarnold]

@tojugula I agree. I was familiar with the Nazareth version, which I thought was great but I'd never heard Joni's original before. I need to go and find 'Blue' now, though.

[Misanthroat]

Everyone fighting over which version is best... that would be the one from Zimmers Hole.

[deathfalk]
