"Come In From the Cold" Joni Mitchell w/ Brandi Carlile + Joni Jam, Gorge Amphitheatre-June 10, 2023

[@moryan6447]

Brandi certainly has been very instrumental in bringing Joni “back to life”. I for one appreciate Brandi for getting her back in front of those who’ve loved her for all these decades and a new audience of admirers.

[@unoriginalnamehere7350]

I feel like this song has taken on more meaning than when Joni first recorded it. It's amazing to see and hear an artist reinterpreting their song decades later.

[@endasyoutube4026]

Such a magical, precious night of joy and music. I loved seeing all the musicians on stage celebrating with all 27,000 of us. I am SO GLAD I didn't miss this show... wouldn't have missed seeing Joni for the world.

[@anndwandner3664]

Joni Mitchell was and will always be part of me. I’ve loved and was inspired by her since I was a teenager and I’m 71 years old now. I love you Joni💝

[@aimeeg11]

@@susanpayson7843 so true! I was hoping someone captured this. I was captivated. And looking out over the canyon during this was just magical.

Taylor Goldsmith is phenomenal here - weaving in and out, strong but never intrusive - beautifully judged.

[@EdieofOdessa-nr1tl]

Thanks Mike - and thanks Brandi, and the wonderful male singer here! This is a revelation. I've known the song since the 90s, but it never hit me like this version - SO powerful!

Back in 1957, we had to dance a foot apart And they hawk-eyed us from the sidelines Holding their rulers without a heart And so with just a touch of our fingers I could make our circuitry explode All we ever wanted Was just to come in from the cold Oh, come in from the cold (come in, come in) (We were so young) Ooh, come in (come in, come in, come in) Come in from the cold We really thought we had a purpose We were so anxious to achieve We had hope The world held promise For a slave to liberty Freely I slaved away for something better And I was bought and sold And all I ever wanted Was just to come in from the cold Come in from the cold (come in, come in) (It was so pure) Please, come in (come in, come in, come in) Come in from the cold I feel your leg under the table Leaning into mine I feel renewed I feel disabled By these bonfires in my spine I don't know who the arsonist was Which incendiary soul But all I ever wanted Was just to come in from the cold oh, come in from the cold (You were too warm) please come in (Come in, come in, come in) Come in from the cold I am not some stone commission Like a statue in a park I am flesh and blood and vision I am howling in the dark Long blue shadows of the jackals Are falling on a pay phone by the road Oh, all they ever wanted Was just to come in from the cold Come in from the cold (come in, come in) (I was so low) Oh, come in (come in, come in, come in) Come in from the cold Is this just vulgar electricity? Is this the edifying fire? (It was so pure) Does your smile's covert complicity? Debase as it admires? (Just a flu with a temperature) Are you just checking out your mojo? Or am I just fighting off growing old? (Just a high fever) All I ever wanted Was just to come in from the cold come in Oh, come in from the cold (come in, come in) (It was so pure) Please come in (come in, come in, come in) Come in from the cold I know we never will be perfect Never entirely clear (when the moon shines) We get hurt and we just panic And we strike out, out of fear (you were only being kind) I fear the sentence of this solitude 200 years on hold (for my loving crime) Oh, and all we ever wanted Was just to come in from the cold come in Come in from the cold (come in, come in) (When the moon shines) Oh, come in (come in, come in, come in) Come in from the cold When I thought life had some meaning Then I thought I had some choice (I was running blind) And I made some value judgments In a self-important voice (I was outta line) But then absurdity came over me And I longed to lose control (into new mind) Oh, all I ever wanted Was just to come in from the cold Oh, come in from the cold (come in, come in) (You were so kind) Please come in (come in, come in, come in) (So kind) come in from the cold (come in, come in) Oh, come in, come in (come in, come in, come in) Come in from the cold (come in, come in) (I was so low) come in, come in Come in from the cold (come in, come in) Please, come in (Come in, come in, come in) Come in from from the cold (come in, come in) (I was so low) Source: Musixmatch Songwriters: Joni Mitchell

[@DaphneTseMusic]

One quick question: does anyone know who the singer was who was singing harmony with Joni on the main verses?

[@magicevie1]

The other artists do a beautiful job, but please just let her sing. She is what makes this song great, she doesn't need embellishements.

[@drumgold23]

That Carlisle woman has really given herself a real leg up. Shrewd career move for someone hardly anyone had heard of before. Wish she'd stop shoving her oar in over Joni.

[@bonniebarlow4939]

Joni Mitchell won 9 Grammys. Brandi Carlile has won 9 Grammys. So far. You never heard of her, so you've been under a rock. Listen to her song The Joke and see yourself represented in the line "they tell you your place is in the middle" but the joke's on you.

[@garypeatling7927]

Think shes helping Joni , be difficult being Joni knowing what you could do before

[@stuweb5848]

I have heard of Brandi before her friendship with joni

[@susanstevenson3238]

You wouldn't be seeing Joni if it weren't for Brandi. She has made all this he happen to bring her out of retirement.
