Joni Mitchell - A Case of You

[@TedMichaelMorgan]

My late little brother Timothy adored Joni Mitchell. This is one of her finest works.

[@fionaphillips3458]

This woman is a genius, I love her lyrics, so beautiful...

[@suavechicjg]

I wish I could've have seen her in concert. I just love her voice- so calming.

[@dylz]

this song is so incredible. just hearing the opening chords makes me forget the world around me

[@Shosh28]

Joni is a true artist. She has been "in my blood" since I was a kid, and she still keeps me "On My Feet". Love her, and I believe that her music and soul are still the inspiration for many new artists like Brandi Carlile. How could she not be. She is the real thing! Love you Joni!

[@ibook4113]

This is one of those songs that you hear and think that you never EVER want it to end....... timelessly beautiful!

[@CelticRaE19]

without Joni we would not have alot of today's artists. she is one of the most important female artists of the 20th century. so much depth to her songs. thank you for your inspiration Joni!

[@Song-bender]

This song soften some rough edges for me...The passion in her gave my longing some comfort. A friend in love and out of it.

[@WhenToWatch]

There is more integrity in these moments strummed, more beauty in such eyes, and more sorrowful longing in this voice than can be found for the rest of my days.

[@rokop1]

My God, it's hard to listen to this. It's stunningly beautiful and makes me long for my youth, for loves lost and opportunities missed. Years ago I listened to these songs never imagining that I would hear them again in middle age and feel the same feelings. Joni captures so sweetly the romance and adventure of my youth. Many years later, in the midst of a painful recession and wars still raging, My youth floats like a gentle breeze on her angelic voice. "That was just a dream some of us had."

[@FISHMUSIC4U]

Blue is without question the most listened 2, beautiful, and endearing folk album of all time - a masterpiece from an incredible song writer, lyricist...and that unmistakable voice!!!

[@baretone1]

I remember a high school crush I had telling me about this new singer, Joni Mitchell, and how cool she was..........I think she is the soul of what the best the 60's had to offer. She touches everyone's soul, man or woman, and reminds us what it means to be a human being, full of frailties, fears, yet still loving. I hope people remember people like her from the sixties, not the Monkees.

[@SuperScotch23]

Joni Is one of the most prolific & passionate singers ever! The woman is a True legend! I was hooked at Blue.That seems like yesterday! Namaste Ms.Michell!!!

[@rebecca7100]

It's been more than 30 years since I fell in love with this song, and it still sends a chill up my spine.... there's something unworldly about Joni's voice. Just gorgeous...

[@SusanDAUM]

Joni added meaning to my life in the late 60s when I was only 13. Her words and music revealed the thoughts and feelings deep within me that I didn't know I had. No one has since been able to write poetry or sing like her. I brought my kids up singing the circle game to them every night at bedtime.

[@dgivy]

I agree...Joni doesn't need to change, music just isn't what it used to be...it isn't even music anymore...it is profit-whatever happened to the passion, talent, creativity and appreciation? I only hope everyone will wake up and listen! It doesn't matter how you look...it is about the MUSIC!!! Joni ROCKS forever and always

[@smallville50]

I think this is one of the most beautiful songs ever writtin. This song is timeless.

[@buriedlovely]

Whatever way she does it, she still can break my heart with this song. I can't even express what it means to me to see her perform it. Thank you for posting this video!

[@worldpeaz]

Loved this .. I've loved her forever (I'm 61) ~ this is the sweetest version I've ever heard. Thank you!

[@ylexot64]

The so-called "artists" of today should all get on one knee and bow their collective heads in front of Joni Mitchell. She is a living legend from a time when true talent was what really mattered. It would be difficult to name 3 performers today who play guitar, play piano, write amazing, ORIGINAL lyrics and have inspired SO many people.

[@butfulmuzik]

"Go with him, stay with him if you can, but be prepared to bleed..." My God, that line strikes me deaf, dumb and blind every time I hear Joni sing it. It says volumes and volumes about the balance of joy and sadness in love. And nobody has ever described those emotions with as much "heart and mind" like Joni Mitchell. I sent this song to the person I love most in this world because it just says it all. Timeless, and I alsao love the reworking she did of this song on her "Both Sides Now" CD.

[@LoisFox131]

Joni, loved you then, still do now...this is epic and so fine...talent unmatched...it puts me back to 1977 like it was yesterday.

[@fruitsalad871]

I love her songs! this is my favorite, and her lyrics actually make sense, like, you can actually relate to them

[@arthouston7361]

After 50 years of enjoying Joni's music, I can't tell you anything about her that isn't already self evident. She has always listened to her heart, and she has told us all about it along the way.

[@Sharksandguitars]

This is my absolute favorite Joni Mitchell song! What a terrific song writer she is. She is such an inspiration to my song writing. Nothing comes close to Joni.

[@robertwbecker]

Joni is such a genius,,, been listening to her since the early sixties,,,,, AWSOME! Love the free spirit that she is!!!!!!!!!

[@libellulerenaissance]

This is one of the most beautiful songs ever written in my opinion and joni ... joni has always been such an inspiration to me and a role model: artistic, sincere, passionate and so loving.

[@kamelpasha]

stunning, pipes and chops! and oh, the empathy, the poet laureate of our times

[@MarkSerlin]

I was at this concert at wembley stadium - it was absolutely awesome. her voice soared like an angel's and her guitar rang like a bell. It was truly wonderful.

[@sheracad]

Thank you for this! Since 1979 Joni has centered me. This year I turn 50, and I listen to this. I do have some peace in my chaotic soul thanks to her.

[@martino619sd]

It is so incredible that her greatness becomes refined as she journeys through the years unscathed by the changing surface of time

[@cincinnatisaxman]

This makes my goose bumps get goose bumps......... A master of her art....Timeless!!!!!

[@annidell9358]

this song, and the person im sure it was written for , has meant so much to me for so long. ..and ive never even been to canada... joni forever and ever or until we get cancer.. i love you so!!

[@ValerioMansueti]

non words,no words, for songs like this,...after so many years always the same thrills,...thanks Joni for your art......

[@Hrizzzz]

This is a song that requires a true songwriter. Joni is one of a kind.

[@martino619sd]

This is possibly one of the best written songs. It cast itself high in the real of the stars, and Joni was that vessel that launched and placed this song in its own space and time.

[@elouie]

"I could drink a case of you, & still be standing," what an incredible metaphor. My hero!

[@irie1606]

God bless you Joni. Love you so very very much. So many prayers for you from so many. Part of you pours out of me in this life from time to time. Please get well and come back to us. We need you on the planet.

[@101candles]

tx 4 Prince to pointing me to this song......i think it is one of the best songs ever....

[@oscarsantos6484]

It´s great to notice that young people like you who posted this video still get interested in Joni Mitchell!!! All the kudos for you!!! Greetings from sunny and warm Brazil!

[@frenzyflyer93]

the lyrics are just stunning, whether you like the sound or not you have to love her use of words!

[@edwinscherer]

"Love is touching souls," a theme along with clouds, the eternal restlessness of spirit incarnate, bittersweet irony, the Sami trailblazing no moss under shoes, among others are sound portraits this artist has shared with us for half a century. The meaning piled up like paint with always a rewewed and deeper vision revealed under each fresh layer reflect back our own unspoken images and impressions as spiritual beings examining an earth bound existence. For those whose strings and brushes resonate to Joni's art at each discovery anew we are carried to the distant shores of our innermost selves and connected to the Divine spring that ebbs and flows in the human heart.

[@superjdt]

That is beautiful and I am sure your children are even better people for it. Wonderful.

[@StevenCharlesJazz]

Masterful, truly one of the greatest artists of our time! That she can mesmerize with her voice & dulcimer alone is proof positive, both her eloquently poetic, achingly beautiful lyrics & voice, well, leave even me speechless.....

[@shelibeane]

Oh how I loved this song so very long ago...the memories...and how I still love this song by this beautiful artist. Thanks for sharing this with those of us who love Joni and her music...love truly is touching souls...

[@willrothfuss]

Kevin, I'm with you man. I've had this mad, unquenchable love for Joni for 40 years too, since college. Every song she sings seems to be to you personally. I just want to gather her up and take her to some safe place. And this has always been my favorite song of hers. This and "Down to You".

[@refletsT2O]

Have been enjoying listening to this for the last couple of weeks. Amazing how Joni sings, drums, and plays mountain dulcimer as if in three independent voices. Lovely song. It was in her Blue album, but it hadn't struck me before. I think her singing in a lower pitch makes a huge difference.

[@MizzAugust7]

I learned this one at age 15, before bronchitis, in the woods, people thought it was the record playing :) '74 Got to see her free in NC in concert, piano & guitar-her voice alone SHOOK the speakers.

[@blairweymouth1407]

I have the sister dulcimer ro the one Joni is playing...it was built by my friend and well known luthier Phillip Kubicki ...he passed away recently from a courageous battle with pancreatic cancer. He gave me the instrument before he died....we built many guitars together and I learned a great deal from him. He gave Joni serial # 2...mine is the #1. He always kept the best for himself...I am sure glad he did....I bet all of heaven's instruments are getting a little tweeking and tuning.

[@joelmaqueira4851]

R.I.P TO PHILIP!

[@elle95x]

I love Joni Mitchell and I'm only fifteen. My friends think I'm wierd but they can never understand how amazing her music is! I love her!

[@pbr2424]

Beauty is beauty whether it a picture or in a song and so is talent..........

[@bgfd1]

I was there in the audience and this was a goosebump moment when she left the band who were great but this was a specia moment.

[@MUSESQ]

This is for a friend, but for you henhenstoll, Joni used to live just up the road in beautiful valley called Nederland near Boulder, now, Nederland looks like LA, but when she lived there it was a little piece of Heaven, FYI, thanks for posting it

[@kjfoehr]

Looks like Wembley Arena, London 1983. Joni is a true musical genius. 100 years from now, after all the rest have long been forgotten, Joni and Bob Dylan will still be remembered, listened to, and sung. If you haven't heard the album version on "Blue", do yourself a favor and check it out. Her voice changed in the late '70s - early 80s, for some unknown reason; probably a combination of aging and too many cigarettes. Joni, I have loved you for 40 years, and I always will. Kevin

[@angelroma6974]

Fantastic song. Thanks. Joni is all that and more. Super artist.

[@oldgit32]

This is the BBC recording of her 1983 Wembley Arena (London) concert. Somebody questioned the date on the Amelia clip from the same concert and suggested it could be dubbed. It's not. I was there and I watched the programme a few weeks later - this is exactly how I remember it. If it wasn't 1983, it was certainly no later. Here encore was an amazing version of I Heard it Through the Grapevine - didn't make it into the programme. Great night. Good to see it again.

[@chesapeakepeg]

She has been in my heart "like holy wine" for so very long.........

[@StevenCharlesJazz]

So beautiful, brings tears to my eyes.....

[@ljkw77]

I wish I could turn it up more....Joni has been my hero sinceJr High...thanks Joni!!!

[@Orishanla]

Amazing, amazing. This is an excellent recording of the song. Joni sings it like she was singing it for the first time. Joni was never short on emotion and passion. Thank you, Joni, for sharing your life with me and so many others.

[@lebarosky]

Blue. An incredible album. And this is probably the most beautiful and elusive song on it.

[@joninehritamusic]

A beautiful performance of one of my all-time favorite songs.

[@JoniSimpsonphotographer]

One of the most beautiful love songs ever!

[@Minamay10]

Wow such a great song. It never gets old:)

[@fruchtkuchen]

mmmmmmhhh!!!! one of my favourites of joni! love it

[@mariusvanblerck1703]

Stunning ... just stunning!

[@eatingyumyum]

this song remides me of an old high hippy. Beautiful cant you see her now.

[@oldgit32]

As Stephen Powell says: Wembley Arena 1983. This is the BBC footage. Sadly they stopped recording before the encore - "I Heard it Through the Grapevine". One of the best concerts I ever went to.

[@octavianchis9337]

great song, great feelings, great tears...

[@hoopy1111]

this reminds me of my ghost and I back in 2002.. could not have been a better song for us..

[@pikeman80]

Nice to see someone posting and showcasing Canadian talent. So often Canadians seek approval of the American market and media before they consider how wonderful Canadian talent is.....at least in a par with stuff from the country to the direct South.

[@hyperlocavore]

Doesn't that make it just that much more perfect...

[@liktom]

I believe another poster said that she wrote it for Graham Nash after they broke up. I spent many happy hours listening to Joni when I was young. **Love you Joni Mitchell where ever you are!**

[@giuliamillanta]

I love this song! ...she's incredible...

[@thomascruz2147]

My best friend of 25 years Sarah, has said some beautiful things to me over the years and she has said some very hurtful things. She IS in my blood, SO bitter and SO sweet. I will always love her

[@victoriaw4203]

Beautiful! So true for all of us. We have to remember we can't feel one feeling without the other. It makes us strong, weak, it makes us laugh, it makes us cry, and most I hope it makes us appreciate what we really have. To value that imperfect person, just like ourselves. Hateful things have a way of softening over the years because we are not in that same place we were, mentally or emotionally, back then. Time really does have a way of healing the heart. Thank G--!!

[@HouseConcertHub]

This was 1983 at Wembley, UK. I'd just got into Joni at the time, but hadn't realised that she was playing at Wembley. By co-incidence, I went to the box office (in those days they were actual offices - this one right outside the venue) to pick up some tickets for another show. She was in mid-concert, and I could hear the music drifting across the rooftops. I was so excited, and frustrated that I couldn't get in! Turned out, that was the last time she ever played a public show over here. :0(

[@loosetea]

Proof that Joni Mitchell, with nothing more than a little box covered in a few strings, tempered by some felt, etc.; and with her voice, her original words and music, can convey more than any rock star with a billion dollars in video/audio production behind them. And I might add, I consider her the greatest North American poet since Walt Whitman, and the greatest song writer since Franz Schubert.

[@butfulmuzik]

@misterzwoon you are SO right! and i would just add one more thing--it is a painting in your head that simply grows more beautiful with age. Joni Mitchell is simply one of the finest artists of (I am so proud to say) my generation.

[@LuisGarzonGuitarist]

Amazing! I watched Diana Krall's version which is great,but to see Joni did it with a Dulcimer Wow! It's a simple instrument but the song is not simple. I remember when Joni could stop a clock! Back when she wrote Woodstock. Thanks for posting this. Her music is immortal Herbie Hancock's River that won the Grammy for best Album is all Joni Mitchell songs. She is on one or two of them. He did amazing things with it.

[@gabyhalliwell22]

I love this song, it's absolutely beautiful!!

[@OfficialIO]

She's such an inspiration in my songwriting!!i love joni!!

[@RoryVanucchi]

beautiful song..genius at work.. she had many..

[@HouseConcertHub]

This has probably already been answered in the pages of comments below, but to anyone else new to this clip - This was from a concert recorded by the BBC at London's Wembley Arena in 1983. I love this live version of the song, although the original studio version (On 'Blue') is very close behind.

[@gypsy4460]

love when she does back up on Neil Young's Helpless one of my Favor t songs ever you can only hear it on The Bands / last walltz it is so GREAT

[@somiffy]

One word. Amazing.

[@FirstAndBestRobin]

if I'm not mistaken, this is from a concert in Tokyo 1983 on the Wild Things Run Fast tour. it sounds like the version I have on an old bootleg. love this mid period voice with the older songs. brilliant as always.

[@geneappeal]

What an amazing song ... what an amazing woman

[@ronboy51]

I was also there that night. What a fantastic show it was!

[@thehum1000]

an angel from heaven

[@1974Qball]

First fell in lov with song from a Tori Amos album never knowing Joni was this amazing until years later.

[@ZeliaFonsecaBand]

wonderful wonderful wonderful, Joni only...

[@nubbyjenn]

Makes me cry every time.

[@bulbangs]

she's ethereal. i love her so much :)

[@andyboy28353]

Likewise...I had a girlfriend 25 years ago who had Court & Spark....we broke up but the music had worked it's way into my being. I now own everything she ever recorded and thanks to the ipod I can now listen to any of her songs at the gym wondering if there's any chance( I'm a professional musician/composer) that I'll ever write anything quite as sublime as any of her songs.Some chance! I consider her to be the worlds greatest living artist.

[@justintime42000]

@LiviiBetts95 How can anyone NOT love Joni Mitchell? I'm glad you don't worry about what your friends think. Don't ever change that! Most of your friends now won't be with you after you leave high school. Great music is timeless and Joni is a true artist. Follow your heart!

[@jennylistens2477]

The dulcimer was another great companion of hers, as in California...one of my favorite Joni songs. But then I'm biased. Missing home

[@trout1212]

Good music stays good. No matter how old it is or you are.

[@shemanic1]

love it thank you, bit quiet but worth the listen. I of Joni's top tunes & albums

[@positivityforever]

Prince does a incredible haunting & heartfelt version of the song which Joni herself has praised.

[@Stinakat]

I love this performance so much :)
