- I came upon a child of god
He was walking along the road
And I asked him, where are you going
And this he told me
Im going on down to yasgurs farm
Im going to join in a rock n roll band
Im going to camp out on the land
Im going to try an get my soul free
We are stardust
We are golden
And weve got to get ourselves
Back to the garden

Joni Mitchell wrote one of the most hauntingly beautiful songs that epitomizes the whole feeling of that generation ~ and it still continues. Thanks for this great post!
One of the great lines that I never hear commented on: "We are stardust.
Billion year old carbon" has got to be the most scientifically literate line I've ever heard from a musician - not to mention mind-blowingly profound, and the literal truth. In my top 10 songs of all time. Best female song writer ever. Love you Joni!
Gorgeous and haunting. I'm typing this with tears streaming down my face. Good music does that...
Lioness DeWinter Exquisite words and music.
Amen sister amen
I'm 78 - a military vet and been through this generation - 60s and 70s of hell. But, Joni Mitchell is one of the very, very, very , very few of the singers of that time that I still enjoy. I don't know what it was about her that garnered so much respect. But even today, she stands out. She beat them all. Just love to sit back and listen to her music. She had a message of hope in her lyrics.
Yes those were the days my friend , we thought they would never end.

I've never seen so many positive youtube comments. Very deserving.
The most beautiful voice ever recorded.
hahahahahahahaha
That voice with poets mind. One of the best singer songwriters of the 20th Century
I'm partial to Emmylou Harris myself... but I'm not gonna put up a fight!

this song is not about being a frickin hippie.. its about our return to source.. discovering WHAT we truly are.
They never called themselves that, it was a pejorative given as they were anti-war, and yes you're right, she was well aware at the time that that scene was dying. This song is about hope and the feelings that the young had at that time and it ended up as its swan song
Listening to this on Ash Wednesday and hearing “We are stardust,
We are golden
And we’ve got to get ourselves
Back to the Garden.”
Crying and laughing at once. What a beautiful, deep and marvelous piece of music...
Her music is beautiful with a touch of otherworldliness that makes her a step ahead of other songwriters. Her singing is angelic.
I heard somewhere that love is touching souls. Joni has filled so many souls with love for so many years. She's an angel. I could drink a case of her and still be on my feet.
Indeed she has kept many of us on our feet all these years.
my God, what a gift he gave the world when joni was brought
on the scene a long time ago...i am sitting here, have places to go
but i can't get up, simply mesmerizing, unbelievable, beautiful,
saw joni at mann music center in philly back in 1980-1....
it was hot as hell, and she cooled us all down...
She has the voice of an angel and the cheekbones of a goddess.
INCOMPARABLE!!! always was and always will be. Pure Class
This song is so transporting,;a work by a great musician and poet.
Can't say how much I sang with her in my home , Sweet times .
classic voice and beauty of the 60s. i was born at the right time..
She reminds me that this world should come together in love and stop fighting.
Time is short and we should rejoice in every day!
Namastae
All of her music is so amazing it's difficult to choose a favorite. That said, this song really says a lot about life, the universe and what was going on at that time and in many ways, still is. Brings chills up my spine. Joni Mitchell is one of the most talented musicians I've ever known of. Her music, poetry, artwork/album covers, and all of the instruments she plays. The things she does with her voice. She is unparalleled.
Ms. Mitchell's lasting contribution to music is never more strongly evident than in this song. So beautiful, haunting and uplifting.
So remarkable a woman...what a gift to this world.
Tears. The embodiment of Hope and Streams of Beauty.
I never tire of hearing her sing this.
The Most hauntingly beautiful lyrics, voice, and instruments. Perfect. It's just what I needed tonight! Love Joni!
from Jose' "Timo" Sepulveda.........Judy is the greatest who ever graced this planet....songstress.......writer......performer! She is one of a kind.....there will never be another like her!!!!
I'm 14 years old and this woman is my inspiration
this is the most beautiful thing ive heard...shes a five year old girl, a 17 year old, a 40 yr old, and an 80 old pilgrim woman in one song and being...shes america...the absolutely stunning and frustrating america
Six Feet Under and Sarah's favorite song!! ❤️❤️
badass woman. her sings are from the heart like all the greats from the 60s and all of the 70s
Her falsetto is just amazing....
she is so, so cute. somebody should give this girl a record deal.
Nothing brings back the summer of 1969 like this beautiful, magical song.
This song and her voice always touch me deep any time I hear it.
Was at Woodstock from Richie Havens to Monday morning with Jimi Hendrix. Not more than a few hundred stayed for Hendrix. This song always brings me back there where I let my soul live.
her voice touched me from the first song i ever heard. so beautiful
Her range was just amazing. Beautiful.
I was 14 years old. But would have gone in a heart beat. Made it to Watkins Glen, 650,000 strong to see "The Band". And of course my Levon. Helm that is.
I begged my parents to let me go at 15 yrs old - thousands of miles away - they denied me the privilege for obvious reasons
The intricate shades and tones in this composition are what is fantastic.
My high school English teacher used to make us "study" Joni Mitchell but I didn't realize the depth of this song. We were given light, air, the earth and all of its plants and animals but the season of our discontent was that we realized we had no shirt, no shoes, no house, no bank account, no king.... Our diets now are hardly recognizable as food they are so full of additives, preservatives and artificials. Our water is full of contaminants. We need to get back to the garden, each 1 of us.
its a shame that music nowadays has become about the look of a person and not their talent. this music right here touches your soul....
Her words are pure and chaste, but she is a real genius in several ways. She just hints at things, like a good story teller should, which is why I think I find her to be so precious. Can you imagine Joni ever telling you something that she didn't think was absolutely true? I can hardly imagine that scenario, as how could you argue with a girl that was arguably a genius, because she discovered that the double-decker buses in England should really have a driver on the top!
AWESOME, THE SONG ,THE WOMAN. I REMEMBER. NO ONE DOES IT BETTER
Such beautiful woman and voice! An angel!
wow , no one today can match the beautiful and natural talented voice of joni
Celia Pavey can.
NikeSXT
Joni's voice and artistry is far superior.
not many new artist today can equal ledgends like joni , and many others .
well .... i sure dont know the name of all the other baskett ball players , cause there not as good as jordan .
Horseshit
She's the best. Joni's a real artist. Her lyrics are always meaningful!
She's been singing to me all my life.
I agree! She is awesome. I have admired her since I was a small boy as we used to drive past her home on a regular basis. I would always point it out.
What a child of God. She is all by herself. Poet, musician, incredible vocalist....
Effortless grace. Prophetic, lets go back to Eden and Paradise Lost. xxxx
Her Music is Timeless:) Such an Amazing Artist!!
Sheer genius. Her studio version of this is the greatest thing ever.
Positively weeping here.. how absolutely beatiful.
+Julie Swahn
Me too. The garden is not even a memory now
+Julie Swahn cover by Matthews Southern Comfort is also good
AGREED ♡ she's amazing ☆☆☆☆☆
How well I remember when I first heard her sing this song on television in February,1970.I bought the album this was on(Ladies of the Canyon)later in the year.I have thirteen of Joni Mitchells albums.
true, those dreams were crushed too soon. those that lived them will never forget and never stop wishing......................
not only does she have a beautiful voice, she has created songs that have absolutely lovely melodies and , you know, the melody is always the first thing i listen to.
Such an achingly beautiful song...her voice is other-worldly. The best songstress of her generation.
absolutely..very well said ..she is beyond words and we grew up with her
have six feet under to thank for throwing this beautiful song my way, fantastic voice brilliant emotional song
Its puts chills down my spine to hear this song. Joni sings about stardust and carbon like she's a scientist. James' version was good. Crosby, Stills, Nash, version was alright. Joni does her songs like no one else. Didn't she write this before Carl Sagan's Cosmos originally aired. I think Carl Sagan borrowed her words to say "We are star stuff". Her music probably inspired Carl. How incredible is that, music inspires science, and science inspires music.
This song is so relevant for our times.
OMG!!!ive never heard her version.such an amazing voice.beautiful
This song and her playing and creative talents blow me away. Transporting. Brings back so many memories, not of the past but of what is within our own souls. Timeless. We're caught in the devil's bargain. Love Joni. Yes, she defined high school for me. Surely wore out the turn table and vinyl on this one.
Absolutely beautiful! It just sounds so pure..
The most beautiful song ever! Such a huge huge inspiration to my own music.............
Joni has great talent and a beautiful voice. Great song!
Art. Beauty . Love. Pure. Thank you.
when , O when will there be a Joni Mitchell for the current generation? God knows they need one....
What a soothing music. It's best not to actually listen and watch the clip, but to to do something, while listening to this, it could be a wonderful calming background music
You can tell this song is from Joni Mitchell, it has the ring of her lyric stylings. It is a shame she never went to Woodstock, it probably penetrates her mind. She has an angels voice, clearly she was touched by GOD.
Love you Jonie.
Fantastic singer,composer and musician,,,,,
75 'people' dislike this? They must be from another planet.
75 out of 579 is no big ratio.(Chuckle!)
So many years after this song came out it is only today I learned it was penned by her! Will always love and remember this great song by Crosby Stills Nash & Young was being played and their arrangement does her song the most justice! We were so lucky with the incredibly talent of those times, unmatched today I am afraid.
Wow. I feel you and your comments. I am 51 almost 52. I grew up on this music. My older brothers played all the Santana, Woodstock alums etc...Jeff Beck was big then too. Sooo much good music and lyrics. I'm like you I really miss it. I refuse to listen to today's garbage. Wish there was more like us huh? God Bless
When my daughter says I sound like her it makes my day....I wish!
1 word "BEAUTIFUL"! 😢💐🌹🌹
For all Zeppelin fans, Joni is the girl with, "Love in her heart and flowers in her hair," in, "Going to California." She invited them for their first time in California.
This voice and song is amazing, I regret that I've never heard Joni singing live.
early 70's in the UK were an amazing time, not only the organized concerts but the ones that spontaneously appeared all over the country were fantastic. pity that the government and the police couldn't see it that way
This is Joni's alone.... it is made for her voice... no one can sing this song and have it give the same feeling.... absolutely beautiful....
Thank you for reposting this GREAT version. it was up and then DOWN n for a year...this is my favorite version of the ones on line.
Una de las voces mas dulces en la historia del rock...one of the sweetest voices in rock history.
Shes a painter of words and sounds. Incredible. This song sounds modal but shen still made it accessible to woodstock audience.
Staggering. Thank you for being you, Joni...
A long time ago. I brings back shills. Dear Joni how you since so great.
@liannenj One of the most important singers songwriters in history...I always get emotional whenever I listen to Blue....so very personal and beautiful.
Beautiful beyond words. Goddess on earth.....
Christ, I don't think I have every had goosebumps like I have just had...reading your words while Joni was playing Woodstock.
You have just written something that I will remember for a very long time.
Kind regards, kennethj1956
#1 song in my lexicon. "We've got to get ourselves back to the garden"
Don't make me cry. In the early '60s she took my order for capuccino in a Toronto coffee house. I hope I tipped her, though I'm thinking that given my young age I probably didn't. I don't mean to disparage her abilities; she is truly up there in the pantheon of great writers and singers. And if I allow her to, she makes me cry.
Sending prayers for Joni from Bethel, NY..the place she never got to but who wrote the anthem of Woodstock '69.
She's doing a lot better, Rich. She's now awake and in good spirits. Thank God!
Kenny Williams Oh good - she is my heroine!
jacaranda2bloom News today states she had an aneurism, but is talking and having physical therapy to be walking. She's expected to make a full recovery. Today we have an amazingly close conjunction of Jupiter and Venus, also present are Mercury, Mars and Jupiter. A beautiful summer day to listen to Joni.
Dusty Rhodes Thank you for the good news! Tell her we are all thinking of her and sending her Good Vibrations! ♥
So glad to get reports late last night that Joni is conscious and in good spirits.
i love you joni mitchell !!........soul toucher!
One of the greatest talents ever to grace the earth. Just piano and vocals getting that sound, and one of the top lyricist and composers of the 20th century. She is a favorite of every musician I know.
I was too young to go to woodstock. Later on in college i was there my college friend whose parents had a summer house. Great memories are brought back with this music.
She's been my inspiration since I was 17, and now I'm 56. Her work is timeless.
I swear...this song just gets better and better every time I listen to it. Joni's vocals are incredible!
I am freaking out. This touched me deeper than any song Ive ever heard. Wow.
Roberta Joan Anderson (aka Joni Mitchell) is a Force of Nature who has gifted us with songs & lyrics that are transcendental and will no doubt endure for a very, very long time.
HARD to top this! Happy 70th birthday beautiful lady of the canyon. Now let's get ourselves back to the garden shall we..?
Incredible to see her artistry and words of a new song just written with so much meaning about the times of confusion and war. So pretty. I love the chords at the beginning and end
Simply beautiful.
This song is very powerful...please share
I've loved Joni for decades now and I'm aware now that I won't have enough time to love her enough.
