The voice and face of an angel

I was a limo driver drove her to that show. Get the car looks at me asked me if I know where to get some good weed. We got high. And she said I’m having problems with the rap part and trouble man so she kept saying it to me over and over again. Just me and her in the limo. to say she was cool. Would be an understatement.

Just write

1st Joni song I ever heard

And then she got even better

You saved me from my crazy family, my bleak neighborhood of brcks, and from my loneliness. I am one of millions who grew up with you as teacher, imaginary friend,, a fellow traveller, who translates our struggle into words and music.

instantly in love every single time

wouah 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

quien en español por aquí???

he was probably in love with Joni Mitchell

Legitimately one of the best songs ever written.

My life wasn't filled with such enchanting or wealthy lovers as those Joni so elegantly describes in this song, but nonetheless, the theme of the song and its message described my young life, touching me, affecting me in such a deeply personal way that it's beyond measuring the lessons it taught; the effect it had on me. Considering that no one before her ever wrote and shared with the world such intimately exposing songs of their lives -- that's remarkable enough in itself. But to have done it in a way that can reach across time and space to express moments strangers have also experienced -- that's not just powerful, but magical. I love you, Joni; thank you for sharing your life with us.

So sweet.

...like the more modern version by Hanne Boel (album Dark Passion 1990) ...

Didn’t know this version - excellent recording for a live show. I first heard this in the car on a long journey in the 80s - I had to stop in case I crashed the car. What a classic of chording, harmony and poetry. Took me weeks to work out what Joni’s guitar tuning was - everyone knows what it is now of course, but back then it was a mystery, to me at least. It’s had a huge influence on my music development and appreciation. A turning point in my life. Profound.

A time less piece of music thank you Joni for a life time of joy happyness peace you have given us .We love and adore you iam 73 now we all shared our time with you while we are here .When god calls me home iam ready my last thought s will be your songs and you .YES i belive every one has secret place in their heart and soul .Zorba Asbury Park Nj .

I just looked at the reference to the Second Fret performances in Philly in 1966. When Joni was in town, she was interviewed by my old friend and colleague Gene Shay. I was 13 at the time, and my parents were not going to take me to the city to be in what they thought was a "nightclub." Starting at age 24, when I worked as Gene's producer for his Sunday night folk show, we would occasionally play back that interview, where Joni explained California Kitchen Tuning. I missed quite a bit because I was too young at the time, but I like to think I was able to make up for that in later years, when Gene and I sat down with Judy Collins.

Hmmm....being free.....

Perfection.

One of my favorite songs from my favorite artist of all time!

Preacher brought me here. Still a wonderful song

But they parted ways They did not have a happy ending

Genius! Where’s her Nobel Prize for Literature?

Einfach nur wunderschön.

ALL THESE DECADES, AND THIS SONG ONLY BEGS OF BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I hate her voice so much.Always did and always will.Listen to the grateful dead version of this song..she totally ruined it

Check out the gratefuldeads version.

Sie hat mich verzaubert

This was right after Woodstock. She'd played 2 weeks before at the Atlantic City Pop Festival, but had a disappointing reception from the crowd that was a bit overanxious to rock. She kept her style and class intact, and lived to play another day, and be the absolute GOAT!

yes, she exudes very fine tuning with the universe. rare talent. no wonder the people are still so they are able to absorb what they hear. 😂😂

was there ever an actual studio recording of these two doing this together? Or at least a cleaned up hq audio version?

She was family in America Canada , thank GOD for this beautiful person!!!!!

the absolute best voice in music history

❤

Bobby Dylan is great, but hey, Joni is better! They should give her the Nobel prize. Stefano in Italy

Omigladness. And of COURSE i want it to go on for *a l l t h e v e r s e s* ❤

Wow! I never heard her do this song. Nice!

Her voice is more expressive than even a well played instrument.

I saw you down at Alpine Valley in Troy, WI in 1979 and have been in Love with you ever since. You soothed my heart after my divorce and my Dad's passing.🌹

Joni has the voice of an Angel. What a beautiful song from a Beautiful woman..

Maybe most people don't know this song was written by the much and wrongly maligned John Phillips of The Mamas and The Papas.

There are some songs you wish would not end...this is one. As if those images and lyrics might keep weaving and spinning, chorus after chorus. A song for men and women...for what man has not loved as she phrases it and been left aching. And what woman has not trailed men in the wake of her freedom...

Кайф

Is this a part of a documentary? May we know the name?

Her voice gives me chills. Listening to this song is like sunrise in summer: the world is beautiful, God seems real, and the future is full of hope.

I Love Joni So Much... Did it without all caps there! 😍

Heart deep and hollow like a cardboard box.

This was the first time I heard of Joni Mitchell. It's my first and favorite of her songs. I love the whole "Chalk Mark In A Rainstorm" album! Part of the soundtrack of my life.
