It takes a very secure artist to cover a Joni Mitchell song. Gosh, that woman has a vocal range that borders on freakish, beside being a triple threat: song writer, singer, and a musician. If "performer" is a separate qualifier, then add that. She's a muse who fell to earth.
Rufus is my all-time favorite performer and I love everything he does. I fell in love with this song as I watched him sing it 3 times last month at St. Ann’s Warehouse in Brooklyn.
Can this man make a bad song? I do not think so. Each one so different and makes me crazy dreamy gone gone gone to the etherworlddddddddd. Magic truly. Omggggg
Just before our love got lost you said I am as constant as a northern star and I said, Constantly in the darkness Where's that at? If you want me I'll be in the bar On the back of a cartoon coaster In the blue TV screen light I drew a map of Canada Oh Canada With your face sketched on it twice Oh you are in my blood like holy wine You taste so bitter And so sweet oh I could drink a case of you darling and I would Still be on my feet Oh I would still be on my feet Oh I am a lonely painter I live in a box of paints I'm frightened by the devil And I'm drawn to those ones that ain't afraid I remember that time that you told me, you said "Love is touching souls" Surely you touched mine 'cause Part of you pours out of me In these lines from time to time Oh you are in my blood like holy wine You taste so bitter And so sweet oh I could drink a case of you darling Still I'd be on my feet I would still be on my feet I met a woman She had a mouth like yours, she knew your life She knew your devils and your deeds and she said "Go to him stay with him if you can But be prepared to bleed" Oh but you are in my blood you're my holy wine You're so bitter bitter and so sweet oh I could drink a case of you darling Still I'd be on my feet I would still be on my feet
Un brano che Joni Mitchell ha scritto per ricordare la fine della sua storia d'amore con Leonard Cohen. Bellissima la cover di Rufus, bello pensare che è stato anche lui profondamente legato a Leonard Cohen

Both Joni and Rufus are gloriously unique. I’ve followed them both for decades.
Rufus Wainwright always nails the Joni Mitchell covers. This one is great! I wish he would do a live show of "Blue" and tour with it.
I have always loved Rufus! Beautifully done!
Rufus Wainwright + Joni Mitchell' s song = Perfection
Joni's Lyrics and Rufus's voice wow!
Loving joni Mitchell for 35yrs. Rufus wainwright has great range of voice. Gives me chills
Rufus has managed to cover almost every one of my favorite songs... it's uncanny. Beautiful, beautiful.
Ugh, this voice just rips right through me. I could listen on repeat all day
Wow, best male version of any Joni Mitchell song I’ve ever heard, including Woodstock.
Have you listened to Rufus singing "All I want" and "Blue"? Simply great
James Blake and Prince both smashed it to. It's a real though one for me.
Brining the "what's great about Rufus" to "what's great about Joni." Beautiful.

DashRipr0ck check out james Blake's version. my favorite and best imo
DashRipr0ck well, we are talking about Rufus 'freakin' Wainwright!
Personally i think the best Version is done by Prince.
don't forget painter...Joni has been a painter all of these years too.
Rufus is amazing but that’s not what triple threat means.
so beautiful it makes me cry ...and songs never make me cry
Rufus: your version is amazing and does Joni justice. You are both great artists. I play yours again and again.
Rufus is my all-time favorite performer and I love everything he does. I fell in love with this song as I watched him sing it 3 times last month at St. Ann’s Warehouse in Brooklyn.

Rufus Wainwright you are Magnificent.
La voix de cet homme me fait vibrer toujours autant !
The superb version of this song takes me away to other places...
Nice rendition- beautiful as well. First time I’ve heard of you, Rufus-
One of the very few Joni Mitchell cover I like.
Rufus is a soul aid.
Supposedly Joni wrote this about Leonard Cohen. Rufus (who grew up in Canada) became very close to his daughter Lorca and had a baby together.
Actually written about her break up with Graham Nash from "Crosby, Stills Nash & Young"
Listening again and I'm blown away.
What a gorgeous rendition!
Oh my! Audio bliss.
Incredible Talented Artist! Magnificent performance! Amazing Rufus
Outstanding!!!
Rufus.... Wonderful Rendition
Just before our love got lost you said
I am as constant as a northern star and I said,
Constantly in the darkness
Where's that at?
If you want me I'll be in the bar
On the back of a cartoon coaster
In the blue TV screen light
I drew a map of Canada
Oh Canada
With your face sketched on it twice
Oh you are in my blood like holy wine
You taste so bitter
And so sweet oh
I could drink a case of you darling and I would
Still be on my feet
Oh I would still be on my feet
Oh I am a lonely painter
I live in a box of paints
I'm frightened by the devil
And I'm drawn to those ones that ain't afraid
I remember that time that you told me, you said
"Love is touching souls"
Surely you touched mine 'cause
Part of you pours out of me
In these lines from time to time
Oh you are in my blood like holy wine
You taste so bitter
And so sweet oh
I could drink a case of you darling
Still I'd be on my feet
I would still be on my feet
I met a woman
She had a mouth like yours, she knew your life
She knew your devils and your deeds and she said
"Go to him
stay with him if you can
But be prepared to bleed"
Oh but you are in my blood you're my holy wine
You're so bitter
bitter and so sweet oh
I could drink a case of you darling
Still I'd be on my feet
I would still be on my feet
Pretty sure it's "love" not "mouth", at least originally. Fyi.:)
Gorgeous,owsome!
brilliant, this is my favorite version
Gotta say Prince's version is transcendent. My favorite.
I much prefer the rendition Rufus did at Saint Ann’s Warehouse in Brooklyn in April, 2018.
the one version that transcends Joni's version is Joni's orchestral rendition of 'A Case Of You' on her album 'Both Sides Now' from 2000
Prince version is better. 👍
Gotta say I love Rufus but I really LOVE Prince’s version of this beautiful song.
Gorgeous!
Like it so very much! 💖

You have to be Canadian to do the first verse. It's kinda the law.

This is lovely. I Also love Diana Krall's version.
Rufus nails it and his voice reminds me of Jackson brown
