She never ever disappoints does our Joni. She and Carole King were, and still are, the best female singer/songwriters.

[@rubenroman5015]

Do more Joni Mitchell. She’s amazing.

[@thebillryan]

That song is truly amazing. The sign off by Joni at the end wasn't true. Years later she confessed and said it was about the child she gave up for adoption. They found each other a lot later, they tried to reconcile when Joni was a older. It didn't work out. Truly heartbreaking. Gorgeous song. Loneliness takes many forms. Sorry to jump on your top rated comment. I just thought it was important to tell the story.I hope it takes nothing away from anyone else's feelings about the song.. Perhaps it enhances it for some people out there. Like me.

[@GaryCain-qf5vi]

We didn't know in the 70's what we had, so many great singer's and song writer's Joan Baez, Carole King, Joni Mitchell, James Taylor, Cat Stevens and many more, we knew they were great because we loved them. Thank you for helping us relive those days, if we could go back in time we would realize how lucky we were, keep spreading the love ❤️ Peace ✌️ Gary 😊 please react to joni "Both Sides Now"❤

[@markmurphy558]

She is singing about her breakup with Graham Nash. She broke up with quite a few musicians. Leonard Cohen, James Taylor, David Crosby, and a few record executives.

[@judyyurchuk4904]

No matter how many times I hear this song...she always makes me cry.

[@robertlear2712]

Joni Mitchell is one of those artists that is so amazing that they don’t seem human like they weren’t sent here from heaven or came down to earth from another planet.

[@RichardLee-sc9vb]

I love the emotion you share with us as you listen and comment on the songs you do.

[@jamesferris4573]

Joni Mitchell is an incredible songwriter as well as having one of my favorite female voices. I have been a huge fan of hers for years, and I still have her albums in my large album collection. I loved your reaction as always ❤️. You two are always authentic and show your pure hearts and souls. God bless you both.

[@3DJango]

You 2 have each other. This attracts many to you’re channel. You can skate on a river laughing and enjoying the moment together.

[@MerchantOfAlba]

Love it! Thank you 😊💚

[@dalemcmillan7231]

Beautiful song from an amazing Canadian icon. I had the pleasure of seeing her in concert back in the 70s here in Canada 🇨🇦. Simply amazing!!!❤

[@1957PLATO]

There are no words to describe the genius of Joni Mitchell.

[@hongfang2348]

Joni, IMO, is easily top 5 in the singer/songwriter genre, there with Bob Dylan, Leonard Cohen and Paul Simon.

[@giampaoloargentesi5484]

This is not just music, it's pure oxygen.

[@ThistleAndSea]

Joni is an amazing artist. Her album Blue is considered one of the best ever recorded. My personal favorite though is her album Court & Spark. She has SO many incredible songs. Thanks for sharing this one. 🙂

[@johnbrowne2170]

Court and Spark is a masterpiece.

[@hlawrencepowell]

It is a perfect song.

[@bobdelp2023]

AND JONI'S JUST A MERE 27 WHEN SHE PUTS OUT THIS EPIC ( 71 ) ALBUM : BLUE 😊BUT THAT'S REALLY WHERE YOU SEE THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ( JONI AND KAREN CARPENTER ) JONI, WROTE, COMPOSED, DIRECTED, ARRANGED, PLAYED ACOUSTIC GUITAR, PIANO KEYS AND AN INSTRUMENT CALLED A ( DULCIMER )👍 AND OF COURSE THAT VOICE, THAT VOICE, JUST SO AWESOME! 💯 TAKE CARE ANDREI AND DOMENICA!

[@user-bi9gh5gv1l]

Joni was playing a co cert in Madison, WI on Lake Monona. She borrowed skates from the hotel desk clerk and went off skating with a photographer. Look up the beautiful black and white photos. It's stunning.

[@paulvalletta01]

Wow, you are entering the reals of hippy, love and peace that turned the music scene in one focus direction, if yo can find the "band, live with Joni Mitchel and Neil Young helpless" what an awesome beautiful song, she is amazing.

[@steveullrich7737]

Another beautiful masterpiece from Joni!

[@iznot2]

This has been my favorite Joni Mitchell song for years. The song has been around for some time. This video is fairly recent in the scheme of things however the video has captured the song perfectly.

[@deborahbishop6382]

Joni is/was a painter and the artwork of this video is shows this, (most of her album covers are painted by her) . I suggest checking out 'A Case of you'.

[@bobdelp2023]

OH WOWWWW, YOU GUYS DID SOME JONI FINALLYYY!!!👍😊 RIGHT ON ANDREI AND DOMENICA, HOPE YOU GUYS HAVE A SUPER REST OF THE MEMORIAL DAY! 💯 THIS IS A CHRISTMAS SONG FOR PEOPLE THAT ARE LONELY AT CHRISTMAS, WHO KNEWWWW ( JINGLE BELLS ) COULD BE SO GOOD AND DEPRESSING! 😮YOU GUYS TAKE CARE AND DO MORE OF THIS FEMALE ROCK MASTER LEGEND! ( A CASE OF YOU, HELP ME, FREE MAN IN PARIS )

[@jrepka01]

First, I just came across your channel recently and you are so great at finding the key emotion of these songs. In the final analysis, Joni is my absolute favorite songwriter, musician, and singer (Jackson Browne is close). I'm going to suggest A Case of You, California, Blue, Big Yellow Taxi, and Help Me, but you should check out all of her stuff. You would be doing great just to explore all of the music from this album, Blue. A consummate artist, she also paints. Many of her album covers were painted by her. This video is an official video, though it was released just ~3 years ago on the 50th anniversary of the Blue album. The artworks depicted are all by Joni and it captures the spirit of the song so well...

[@diceau]

lovely joni mitchell all her songs are so perfect.

[@chrisgrey9616]

She had just broken up with Graham Nash and she was heartbroken at Christmas! Heartbreakingly beautiful.

[@ademas]

I adore this song. What a treat to get Barbra Streisand and Joni Mitchell on the same day from you guys! Thank you.

[@BernardHodgson]

Such a honest song. I'm so hard to handle, I'm selfish and I'm sad , Now I've lost the best baby that I ever had.

[@brandonjones1349]

1st! Nice reaction guys ☘️🇺🇲

[@geoffharris9396]

A wonderful work of art..

[@benbermusics]

Wonderful that you guys start reacting to Joni! She is a beacon of sincerity, the poet and songwriter drawn back from the busy world describing her thoughts and emotions. Those melodies, that voice, that atmosphere. Long time love for me ❤

[@Mallykins]

I have trouble with the holidays so this song feels so close to me. I’m so glad you all loved it, when I saw this on here I thought you would.

[@ritafoster4958]

Joni is also a very talented artist.

[@robertwatson2823]

I have always loved Joni's honesty!!

[@markmurphy558]

Even better from the album BLUE is A CASE OF YOU, where she plays the dulcimer. A non-sad Joni song is her ode to the famous music festival Woodstock, which she was supposed to prrform at, but couldn't get there after they closed the roads.

[@Newfie-zc7ug]

Oh Canada ! :) Joni is a National Treasure .

[@OutOnTheTiles]

Such a beautiful voice and such heartfelt lyrics.

[@keithcarper8809]

I love how she moved the traditional Christmas songs into a minor key, making them a little sad sounding. A great reaction, thanks. ☮💜🎶

[@CosmicVagabondPixie]

YAY! One of my MOST **Luvd** songs of ALL time! just **Beautiful** **PixieHugz&LuvzToYaBoth**

[@Peter-oh3hc]

It may have been said already, but Robert downey jr. sang a part of this on the tv show "ali mcbeal". Beautiful and touching

[@jimgraves586]

In the tradition of amazing Canadian singer/songwriters of which Joni Mitchell is a significant part, I'd like to suggest you listen to Margo Timmons . and The Cowboy Junkies. In particular, i recommend their performance of "Those Final Feet" at the 2008 Newport Folk Festival. If you aren't familiar with the group, I think you would be plearantly surprised. They are not at all like what the name might lead you to expect.

[@markmurphy558]

Joni considered herself a painter first and foremost. A lot of the drawings in the video were Joni's.

[@mapegatkinson92]

She is also an artist and she created the self portrait in the video.

[@iancitizen6489]

True artist, unique and so influential. Enjoy her amazing catalog.

[@petschmann]

Love her for years! Funny story! She wanted to marry a greek friend of mine! 40 years ago!

[@JuandeFucaU]

skating on rivers is natural for Canadians...... so is being born with skates on.

[@had64198]

Listen to the albums Blue and Court and Spark! She is a true artist as well as an accomplished painter.

[@dagmar.6954]

Joni Mitchell is a great Canadian-American singer songwriter. She covers a lot of genres of music including folk, pop, rock, classical & jazz. She has had so many hits especially in the 60's-80's such as "Chelsea Morning", "Help Me", "The Circle Game", "Both Sides Now", "Woodstock", "Raised On Robbery", "Free Man In Paris" etc.

[@CosmicVagabondPixie]

Oh & i am pretty sure it is her **Art** tho i could be wrong BUT she also **Luvd** Drawing & Painting she has a book of her **Art** out

[@KenBlair-jp5nz]

We have all her records

[@annrobinson9526]

❤️❤️❤️

[@kimcutts6153]

🇬🇧 You guys would love her song "Both Sides Now" 🎼💕🎶

[@MagnusWissler]

A Perfect Circle did an acapella cover of Joni Mitchell's Fiddle and the Drum on the eMOTIVe album. I think it's worth a listen.

[@kjmorley]

For a more upbeat song about one of Joni’s breakups, check out “Carey”. 😅

[@johnharkness7114]

The last few bars are the usually cheery Christmas song "Jingle Bells" but in lush minor chords

[@BrixtonTone]

Hopefully you'll work through the entire album (Blue) It's a masterpiece.

[@Johne.8250]

Please react to “help me” and “big yellow taxi” next. Also, band Counting Crows covered “big yellow taxi “ featuring Vanessa Carlson

[@Prone2Thrill]

Cat Steven's / Joni Mitchell / Jackson Brown.....you are all around the target of.....JAMES TAYLOR.

[@salmuscles]

Hi guys … this is the saddest most beautiful Christmas song ever ….

[@judyyurchuk4904]

🇨🇦🎶🙂

[@jrsinsf]

I wish the waiting room of life had better magazines to read........

[@davidtudor7590]

Please , please listen to 'a case of you ' . Its Joni . Thats it .

[@jenniferbabros1985]

Check out some songs on the Album COURT & SPARK

[@ChuckSchickx]

Do yourselves a favor and listen to "A Case of You " and "All I Want" from the Miles of Aisles album. Please.

[@josemigueltorres2947]

Please react to Sade! Whit the song : It is a Crime!! Pleaseeee!!

[@RetNemmoc555]

This song has helped me out when I wasn't in a good place, and is still a good song any other time. In my Christmas playlist a good companion to this is "December Daze" by Janet Devlin. kzbin.info/www/bejne/bIOrmqJjZbp6mdE

[@sarahsfavfan]

This is another version of this song by a young man named Erlend Bratland. So beautifully done. kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZoXZYYJupJVphsk

[@davidedwards3838]

She wants to skate home to canada from the us after a break up.

[@gregdayton786]

Joni Mitchell is so very overated, don't know what all the hype is with her! I just don't see it!!

[@martinellis7156]

It sucks to be you.

[@johnbrowne2170]

LOL.
