"Help Me" is Joni's perspective on her relationship with Graham Nash. "Our House" is Nash's reflection on an episode in their relationship. (Our House is by CSN or CSNY, I get them confused.)

[@fordp69]

CSN and sometimes Y!

[@benoitdesmarais2948]

She wrote a few songs about Nash, but i think "Willy" is the one you're thinking of, written while Nash was writing "Our House". She wrote "Help Me" in 73, three years after breaking up with Nash. I think she'd moved on by then.

[@johncampbell756]

Our House was on the CSNY album Deja Vu, but Neil isn't on the song, so both answers are technically correct.

Both Sides Now was written in 1966, 55 years ago. She was so young to understand so much.

"My Old Man" is also about Graham Nash. He's also the "old man" who's taken away by the big yellow taxi. The opening lines of "Our House" were apparently exactly what he said to her upon returning home from shopping. He said them and immediately wrote them down and made them a song.

[@glenndespres5317]

Think about this: Joni wanted to be an artist (brush and canvass) as her first choice. An early pregnancy changed that plan so she decided to write and perform songs. (Her album Blue speaks of this in some songs). Imagine having the talent to make that choice? And because she writes so truly from her reality, hearat and soul the listener is always deeply touched. This song is the ‘early folk’ version of Joni. As you say, people change and Joni surely did. You must dig in to follow that evolution into some really fine jazz.

[@chris...9497]

I read an interview with her about her start in writing her own material. When she first started performing in local coffeehouses, many of the other performers were territorial about the material, even though they were just covering other artists or older common works. They would block letting her perform if her repertoire included stuff they relied upon in their own performances. To get around that, to avoid stepping on toes, she began writing her own songs.

[@1nelsondj]

She's a Canadian painter that got sidetracked into being a pop star. She had a tough life early on, survived polio as a child mostly by her determination to dance again, got married young, had a child she gave up for adoption, divorced, had lots of celebrity relationships. Musically she started as a folk singer, evolved into a singer/songwriter, wrote confessional sort of songs using her own guitar tunings, moved into pop and then reflected a jazz influence. Start with her album "Hits" which covers a lot of her singles. She had a run of 7 incredible albums starting with "Clouds" in 1969 and progressing through the 1976 "Hejira" which is more mature. They're all most-own, "Court and Spark" is her most accessible, "Blue" is very popular but I like the follow-up "For the Roses" to be even better. 'Chelsea Morning' is an upbeat song, the Clintons named their daughter after it. 'Big Yellow Taxi' is very popular and apparently the only single that charted in the UK. 'You Turn Me On, I'm a Radio' charted highest in Canada, very catchy, a bit country influenced. 'Help Me' and 'Free Man in Paris' are popular too.

She also refers to him in the song "California" ('the red red rogue'). This song is a journey into the 2 months Joni lived there and took refuge from her fans in Cary's cave.

Joni painted that album cover, by the way. She is an excellent painter and has painted many of her other album covers as well. Joni is amazing, I love her music. There is just so much good music that she has written and so many other artists who have done her music. Joni had the worst luck in love and many of her songs reflect that. Joni once said "I write music for my sadness, I paint for my joy." Thank you for a great reaction once again. Bob Marley said "Sooner or later everyone will hurt you, choose the ones who are worth the suffering." "Blue" is one of my favorite Joni songs. I have to admit that I grew up in a time when we all listened to radio as a part of life so we all were introduced to everything music. Then there was the ceremony of music albums, they were to be listened to from start to finish so you really got a feel for the artists and would hunger for more. Today, we pick a song and listen to it, we don't learn the heart of the writer or the singer we just learn a song. I am so grateful that I was able to experience music in the manner that I did. I learned my parent's music and my music so at this point I am familiar with about 100 years of great music.

You will absolutely love the journey into Joni's catalogue of songs, you've done it right starting early in her career. This was her really big breakthrough song, Joni wrote it, but before she released her own version on her 2nd album it had already become a hit for Judy Collins the previous year. It has since become a classic, recorded by many other well known artists, including Frank Sinatra, Willie Nelson, and Glen Campbell. Apart from her very poetic use of language, her use of dozens of open tunings on guitar is a key element of her song writing. She very rarely used standard guitar tuning, making it an ongoing puzzle for many years for those fans who were attempting to play her songs the way she did. Without that knowledge of the particular tuning for a given song, and the capo position used, you might get close with standard tuning but not have the same resonance and mood without those open ringing strings that Joni had.
