River - Joni Mitchell (Morgan James cover)

[@ahmedjaynicklaw6352]

What a voice! Such a beautiful yet sad song. Wonderful pianist too!

[@bdmac100]

Anyone who can do a Joni cover this good, is absolutely awesome. thank you for your gift Ms. Morgan.

[@elizabethlinsay9193]

Beautiful! Also, Scottish singer Sandi Thom's version.

[@markstothard630]

Stunning...Brilliant.

[@benwebb682]

Give the piano player some, that's a wonderful accompaniment.

[@jamespardee6103]

Poor choice of words, given how gorgeous the singer is, but I agree, her accompanist deserves props as well!

[@AlanHope2013]

He gets the intro all wrong. It's not one phrase three times, it's three phrases. That's not nit-picking. This is a Joni Mitchell song, she would never do anything so banal, so routine.

[@lesbsocal9107]

He's basically a jazz pianist, that's why he's so good. His intro is excellent, BTW

[@Chinchu86]

Woman, you're perfect, it's ridiculous...

[@ЛеонаЗахарцева]

She is perfect😍

[@louisturner8842]

Future x wife perfect.

[@marksmith8667]

Chills and tears. Golden

[@mosk666]

Joni would be VERY proud of this rendition. It is simply amazing in every way. You are quickly becoming my favorite living singer of all time (and I have LOTS of great female singer friends so please don't tell them!).

[@claudiosironi7591]

Beauty , Heart and Voice. A sincere tear

[@PianoPete]

There are no adequate words to describe the immense beauty of your voice and performance, Morgan.

[@ailishbethd4033]

Absolutely gorgeous. So much control❤

[@larryo2421]

Wonderful

[@nicojoosse]

Tears in my eyes. Simply beautiful.

[@stephenmankiewicz789]

absolutely amazing!

[@IRex-wm9pd]

Saw you sing this at The Hamilton last Saturday (6/15/19) and you were so moved by the piece itself that it brought literal tears to your eyes. Was so nice to see an artist that is truly touched by the songs she performs. It was clearly so meaningful to you. Thank you.

[@mjbartholomew5317]

I saw her sing this live last night (11/28/21) and it still brings tears to her eyes. I was a duet with Doug on guitar. Fantastic!

[@0NodMan0]

*_The 'river' of amazingness that is Morgan James. :D_*

[@dtom1145]

Sweet!!!!!!!!!

[@mothwaltz4163]

This beautiful interpretation gave me goosebumps! Thank you, Morgan James🌸👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@jstringer4900]

Beautiful vocals and excellent piano. Made me hear this song in a new way. You both nailed it. Stunning.

[@beardown2489]

The playfulness of Joni with the proper vocal training of a Broadway singer. What an interpretation

[@odineyribeiro4117]

Maravilhosa.

[@anaisabelleitao2217]

It's coming on Christmas, They're cutting down trees. Putting up reindeer Singing songs of joy and peace, Oh, I wish I had a river I could skate away on. But it don't snow here, Stays pretty green. I'm gonna make a lot of money Gonna quit this crazy scene. Oh, I wish I had a river I could skate away on. I wish I had a river so long, I would teach my feet to fly. Oh, I wish I had a river I could skate away on. I made my baby cry. She tried hard to help me, She put me at ease. She loved me so naughty, made me weak in the knees. Oh I wish I had a river I could skate away on. I'm so hard to handle, I'm selfish and I'm sad. Now I've gone and lost the best baby That I've ever had. Oh, I wish I had a river I could skate away on I wish I had a river so long, I would teach my feet to fly. Oh, I wish I had a river I could skate away on. I made my baby say goodbye. Say goodbye. It's coming on Christmas, They're cutting down trees. Putting up reindeer And singing songs of joy and peace, Oh, I wish I had a river I could skate away on. Traduzir para português

[@roberthealy3551]

What happened...My throat got tight. The eyes starting blinking and then a tear rolled down my right cheek. A performance and as always with a great song right memories not forgotten mingle with the present. Wonderful Morgan... not to forgotten Roy Dunlop on piano.

[@sjbechet1111]

Doesn't have to be all sad - go and listen to the New Pornographers - they tip their hat to this.

[@trenae77]

Haven't heard such a lovely cover since Sarah McLaughlan! Both lovely in their own ways!

[@Watchoutforsnakez]

Where have I been? This girl is born to sing. I bet she could slam dunk Heart vocals.

[@fredmona6151]

Hello Karen 👋 How are you doing today?

[@lesb_socal]

Everything about this production is exquisite. And in one take!

[@davidmerriman2741]

there has yet to be a song this lady has done that isn't amazing. her voice....wow! besides that she's good lookin'

[@markd4768]

Tears to my eyes! I’m definitely under your spell. I’m overtaken by your beautiful voice!!

[@craigterry6072]

You gave me this wonderful piece of art...and all I got you was a thumbs up and a ...thank you x

[@OldMysticFantasist]

Superb!!! Such a sweet, clear, warm, strong voice & expressive delivery.

[@1911Zoey]

Can you do Both Sides Now? Either the 1969 take or the 2000, whichever resonates more with you.

[@EvaPopStar]

Got by myself put on my headphone and wept as this album cleansed my soul and emotions.

[@donaldrobbins6464]

Check out sierra eaglesons version

[@dabear2438]

@@donaldrobbins6464: Completely agree. Love both versions!

[@sjbechet1111]

I have to be very careful about this - it's devastating...only when I'm strong enough

[@amazonwarlord]

love this song. Joni is a goddess. gorgeous rendition.

[@bilsib53]

Yes, I liked that, thank you. :-)

[@triggersspeedshop7309]

hi Morgan, can you do sound of silence as your next song?

[@PatrickKCompton]

Wow, beautiful Morgan! I love that wall art also! :)

[@egbertm.2380]

I am fan of joni for 50 years now. Covers of her songs are rare for good reasons. You have the courage to do it, the ability to add something special and I am more than impressed. Many thanks from Germany.

[@Edinho64]

You are a Diva! I'm in love with you and your voice! Come to Brazil. Kisses.

[@majk068]

Beautiful,thank you once again :-)

[@Lohengrin1961]

Thanks for this great Performance from Germany. Thanks Morgan and Happy Holidays.

[@WilliamSebren]

Two of my favorite things just collided!

[@michaelhermiston]

beautiful... wonderful to hear and see you ascend into the ether as you sing 'fly'

[@Nodularguy1]

Classy lady with a classy rendition of the song. Really enjoy your videos. Bravo for being different.

[@jasminedreyer7310]

That's so unbelievable beautiful! I love it thank you.❤

[@dtom1145]

Beautiful! It would be great to hear her perform some of the Sinatra standards. Few females have tried but usually fall short, especially with the phrasing. I bet she could nail them!

[@granthilditch2563]

Who down voted this? Who? Bring them before me. We need to have a little chat.

[@lesbsocal9107]

A cover of the entire Blue album 💙 would be fantastic. Morgan lends lush emotion to Joni's songs. Man on the 88s such excellent accompanist

[@camerongct]

Amazing stuff as always

[@joannahayden9544]

Gorgeous voice. Beautiful cover . Merry Christmas 🎄

[@kenmore7885]

Cover-Kansas-DUST IN THE WIND-PLEASE👀👂

[@SoundYuroff]

Divine ... well, as always !!! Thank you.

[@lesbsocal9107]

Watching this for the hundredth time, I just noticed something unexpected about the photography. When there is a close-in on Morgan, the frame doesn't center on her. Rather, it centers on her AND the LDC mic. The mic gets equal billing.

[@gerardi2000]

Morgan your voice is as pretty as you are. I hope i'm not coming off sexist. Just giving a complement. Great job!

[@alessandra913]

Beautiful version.. 💜love Morgan

[@rikidik5352]

Ya'll need to stick together for the amazing unity of both voice and instrument....just saying 😊

[@staffanolofsson8201]

The line "I wish I had a river I could skate away on" is perhaps the most poetic words I can imagine. It is big, demanding, as if one single person can wish something that stupid. Can you see it, this tiny black figure skating on the ice of this BIG river, getting smaller and smaller?

[@ianmacdonald5278]

Hahaha! Yes! How do you spell Hejira 😉

[@lowellcalavera6045]

Yes

[@JosephDominique]

The woman has the golden voice. What to say about other.

[@PB200559]

Totally sublime - thank you

[@lorijana9972]

Make me cry...

[@jonyr2244]

I´m in love, again MJ (L)

[@christianpomrenski3578]

What a beautiful rendition of this Joni Mitchell song. Bravo Morgan!!! Your voice is magical!

[@ababos7788]

Beautiful Cover of an amazing song! Wonderful Warm Tones.

[@tastymouse]

Beautiful beyond words. You have complete mastery of your voice.

[@jakajarc]

That was beautiful.

[@JoeTheNorwegian]

If I could "like" this a 1000 times, I would!!

[@kimmykimko]

Not my perfect, but very ,very, well done. Bravo to you.

[@jeffdawson1680]

Beautiful

[@supasetsirisungchai3738]

It's a nice song. You sing very well.

[@Lisbondreams]

profound rendition of a profound song miss James --- you run deep !

[@bobminnie8950]

Wow this is so beautiful. Thank you

[@Nestor.555]

Morgan, anything planned for europe in 2017? :)

[@tuomolahti8096]

I have loved this song since I first heard it. Really beautiful. She is really deep in this song. Not just technique, soul. Loved it❤

[@freecloud1155]

Sooo beautiful. Thank you Morgan James!

[@joecburke]

Yes, I LOVE Morgan, and her rendition of this song. But sometimes I wish she would just sing it "pure" Morgan voice, not color or shape some of the vowel-notes, just sing it clean , like I've heard her do elsewhere/when. She sounds like she's trying to slant towards a "Joni voice" in this song, and she needn't do that.

[@keithbrocklesby300]

Just beautiful. Thank you so much.

[@rikidik5352]

Amazing vocals and Amazing Pianist as well. You really gotta have both for it to work well and believe, IT DID !!😊

[@jaakkot9661]

Well, I'm in love with Morgan James.

[@KajiCarson]

I heard this song on New Year's Eve on the radio in Singapore just a few days ago and HAD to find this exact rendition on KZbin (had to write down the lyrics quickly on a notepad lest I forgot, I was so possessed at the time by the singing). So glad I ran through all the different covers on-site to arrive at the finest one. What an extraordinary voice and what an ethereal performance. Fan at first listen.

[@andykeebaugh7490]

love MJ!!!:)

[@Methos1966]

Amazing...#MorganRocks

[@waynechadwick5862]

I make virtually the same comment for your singing...I would listen to you sing the phone book. Since I can't hear that, I will put this on a loop...Amazing.

[@Nestor.555]

Beautiful arrangement!

[@IlyaRhys]

This is outstanding! Morgan, u r really perfect!

[@domingosrobinson2268]

When I first heard you with PMJ, I thought you were a ridiculously good one trick pony. Nope. These Joni Mitchell tunes show how sensitive and introspective you can be with your amazing pipes. Love it! And still love your soul covers, which are without peer.

[@freedom0712]

❤

[@cargogh]

Sometimes before I listen, I wonder if you've bitten off more than you can chew. I'm always wrong. This was absolutely glorious.

[@iGladsMusicWorld]

is it me or I can hear Jingle Bells Jingle Bells in the intro? Morgan James has one hell of a voice I wonder where it comes from and l love listening to her. The new album 'Reckless abandon' is a superb album.

[@markadams7328]

Personal melancholy is probably a prerequisite to singing this song? And a truckload of talent!!! Nice job!

[@justmenpm144]

Amazing 👍@Morgan I wish you could sing "An American Trilogy "from Elvis Presley my king and you are the queen that's perfect!

[@Will-eb7fr]

Great singer and beautiful to boot...

i’ve left pieces of myself in places i’ll never return, including here.

At once so full of life so full of pain You are not alone...

[@MrGerdHoffmann]

Sorry, there are no words (I can not find some words) to describe how beautiful, how brilliant this is ! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@Kiwiihc]

I was listening without watching, it is beautiful on the Piano and sumptuous from Morgans lips. Thank you to you both!
