The finest love song ever written.
Agree a hundred percent. Always brings tears to my eyes
This and Curtis Mayfield's 'The Makings of You' are the most beautiful songs ever written.
I would not say that, but its pretty good, better when Taylor put's his tasty guitar licks in!!
Rob Stuart have to admit i loved her from 68 onwards like many an angels voice a women of substance a songwriter sublime ! Poor old Graham, lucky ol Graham...N
Nah , the finest love song would be Neil Sedaka's 'Laughter in the Rain".
One of the few songs that I am happy to put on repeat and leave on all evening.
One of the greatest love songs ever written by a true legend
I struggle not to cry listening to this. She just strikes the chords with vocal combinations to captivate! God is she good!
Let you cry 😊
My very sentiment . . . I think of her recent performance at the 2024 Grammys - and now, here, to see her in her youth . . . mmm . . . I'm sad and happy at the same time if you know what I mean :-)
my mother loved Joni,
i grew up with her sweet warm voice dancing through our home.
every time i hear her, i see my mom.
love you both.
Lovely comment :-)
We raised our girls with Joni too. I think when we’re gone they will always think of us when they hear her.
Barry I have zero idea what you’re even talking about .
Hey Barry, I don’t go back and forth on social media , but I’ll make this one suggestion. You sound like a very unhappy person, and for that I’m sorry. Really. My suggestion is to get some help. You still have a long life ahead of you., and it would be be a shame to spend it being miserable and bitter. Sending my ver y best wishes.

One of the most wonderful things about being 59 is this. I heard,saw and drank in the music of legends like Joni Mitchell. I soak it in like a sponge. I just introduced my 5 year old granddaughter to Joni Mitchell today.At 5 my grandchild is just like me.She love the sound of such a sweet voice. So i taught her"The circle game" just 10mins.She had it.Then i heard her telling "Alex,play Joni Mitchell ".At 5 and in first class at school my mum was told by the nuns " keep her singing ". I did.My children are singers and now my grandchildren.I am very proud to say Joni Mitchell is from Irish blood. Im Irish and very proud. Music has got me through hell.To be privileged to have lived parallel to amazing singers,songwriters and musicians like Joni Mitchell has been a gift and i hope i have passed that gift on to two generations. ☘
This is the best version that I've ever heard Joni play.
Brandi Carlisle's version is the most gorgeous version of this song I've ever heard. I didn't even know who she was until I saw the video.
@@le_th_lol Brandi who nobody get lost
Almost brought me to tears. So beautiful. I love the husky quality of her voice on this. No frills or effects, just raw organic food for the soul. Perfect.
This song really reminds me of my mother and father dancing in the living room.
I wish I could see them dancing again,
that was real love
I miss you Dad
I cry everytime I hear it. The voice , the melody,the sheer brilliance of it.
I met Sue on open mic night at a Tacoma bar in 1977. She was playing guitar, singing this song and looking right at me. I drummed up the courage to ask her to play while I tried to sing Carolina In My Mind. It didn't go well because I can't sing worth a damn, but I went home with her and we were married six months later.
The greatest of all Canadian treasures. And Canada has been spoiled with a LOT of treasures. Joni is so amazing.
I was at this concert in 1983 at Wembley. Sounded wonderful from 6 rows back. Took photos too a great evening was had. I was 30 now nearly 70 and still listening to her.
This too shall past, The greats are going to start disappearing! And at 70 yrs old Iam going to join them. As they say I was born at the right time! Now Iam going at the right time! what a good life I had
So lucky!, I was born a too late. Not so late as to not learn, be touched, appreciative and sometimes affected and influenced. But missed the lovely, loving and gritty, crazy party.
ciao
Our generation has seen the best of life and Joni is one of the best...
Pretty sad too be honest
Ah this gave me goosebumps. Bless you
The most beautiful song from the most beautiful album of music ever recorded.
Gale Cady Williams Rolling stone magazine music reviewer, when Blue came out in 1971, wrote “it’s the most deeply personal album ever recorded.” That still holds for me.
Couldn't agree more. I've been spell bound by Blue for 40 years...
Yup. Blue’s almost in a category all by itself.
The greatest singer songwriter ever ❤
You know, I'm 73 years old and I'm a hardened old atheist...
But I've just seen and heard an angel, and a soul I didn't know I had
was just torn and soothed both at the same time.
Is it possible that such a heavenly creation such as Joni could
ever exist without the presence of a God.
Thank you Jesus.
You write well
I don't understand your overall sentiment, but understand parts of it
And I did re-read your comment a few times
Joni Mitchell. You have been a part of my life for 45 years. Superb.
Mine too. I fell in love with Joni’s magical art when I was 17, still love her now.
I was introduced to this song through Practical Magic, one of my favorite movies to watch with my mama growing up. Still one of my favorite songs ever 💛
That is to Love satan and
hate JESUS
WHO is our only hope of TRUE LIFE Abundant Eternal full of Peace and Joy in HIM
No one can compare - the one and only Joni. This is my favorite song ever. It was my love song for my ex - I got my two greatest gifts from our union, two beautiful and soulful children.❤️
Perhaps this is as close as humanity has, in the current era, come to touching souls..
rarely does a single person shine like the sun for everyone
I was lucky enough to be in the 2nd row for this, I’ll never forget it and it still remains in my top 3 gigs of my lifetime. A truly beautiful spirit ✌🏼❤️🎵🔥
Graham Cawthorne other two?!
Tiana Oldford
MC5 at the 100 Club and I can’t decide between Jean-Luc Ponty at Ronnie Scott’s and King Crimson at Hammersmith Palais for 3rd. How about you?

Its amazing that Joni's voice was as great as it was she had been smoking since she was 8 years old. Her voice got deeper and richer. I love her high little girl whimsical voice because the lyrics are so rich. But i love her older more mature voice too
Tara Greene I still can’t decide which I prefer, young Joni or later Joni x
I'm pretty sure she was 9.
Just imagine how great her voice would have been if she hadn’t smoked all her life. And she might not have had that stroke.
I love her so...that voice and her lyrics...cheek bones for days. ♥️
Hello 👋 how are you doing?
it goes w/o saying how incredible her singing is....and her songwriting....but her playing is always soooooo spot on. the relaxed time and phrasing...the colors....dynamics she brings out of that dulcimer...just amazing.
I think she is an underrated musician. An excellent guitarist... and dulcimerist!!
I know- so unique, and so effortless.
For 40 years I've listened to her pour her soul out through whatever instrument she happened to be playing. She makes the world just fade away....
letsstaydead and pianist!
deaganxpress definitely the colors .....
I suppose there will never be someone who has a talent like this again, truly a angel sent for us 😊
A song you never want to end!
At an outdoor concert in 1986, she encored with this song and extended the instrumental end by at least 15 minutes, at which point we left with the riffs trailing behind us in the near-solstice summer sunset, just so as to have that experience etched in our memories.
To all you oldies loving Joni and specifically this special song, I agree 1000%! One makes even more special it was around senior year in high school that her album Blue was released with this song on it that brings back precious memories for me from back then and beyond, but so long ago and far away!❤
Yes!! To this day I still know all the lyrics, to all the songs on Blue - The best album ever made.
this song is like a warm hug, it's a cure for my depression... it gives me goosebumps every time
This woman is a genius.
It still amazes me how casually and easily Joni bares her soul in her music. 🎶 I 😍🎵🤙🥂from Cali 👽💚s🌲s w/❄️😶🌫️✌️🌏☮️🛸
Wow, greatest artist of all time, never mind gender, GREATEST ARTIST EVER
One of the greatest
Actually this is shading it - your new national anthem

Love this comment!
Why does somebody have to be the greatest ?.…can't they be your favorite !...
The poetry is raw and simple but so very impactful. It’s draws you in and somehow you become the subject of the narrative. It becomes your story. . . Your joy... your sadness
So true brother
spot on
The poetry you make is worthy, too. What a comment!
As I go through these comments it amazes me how deeply she has touched so many people.
@@wiggsan this❤☹❤❤
I was at this concert with two friends. Can it really be 33 years ago? A great night.
All I can say to that is wow--just wow.
Steven Powe
Steven Powell Amazing !!!
I was just watching James Blake's version @ Heaven in London 2013, I had exactly the same thought. How can that be 6 years ago. A few years different but the same notion
How nice. Time flies dosen't it.
The greatest song ever! And to this day I have not heard a single person sing this song even remotely close to Joni Mitchell!
Check out Brandi Carlile - ua-cam.com/video/LwTx3pAJTWQ/v-deo.html
@@MikoManII Also, check out Diana Krall's amazing rendition of this peerless song in her Live In Paris album.
@@patrickdichiro3654 Agreed, that album won a Grammy for good reasons, the version of Case of You being one of them :)
Prince brought me here when I was a kid because he raved about her. This song and Ms. Mitchell's style of singing move me. Canada's greatest export ;)
As a critical Rush fan down south I disagree with that “greatest export” statement eh???
@@johnIZaUWL f#$k...you and I love rush......and neil young...and the guess who.....and healy... and lightfoot....and list goes on and on
@@raderke I was saying that in a humorous way dude.
Chillax
Just sat down to listen to this again...for about the 1,000th time. What can one ever say about such talent other than thank you?
No one will ever compare!
Brilliance which knows no bounds
Yes. You nailed it!
Love is touching souls. I still get the chills a little hearing this 40+ years later.
Her live version from the '74 is exquisite but this version brings a husky maturity other artists can only dream of ...
This song is so beautiful. I love Joni Mitchell's songs.
Time shall not age this song I was 21 when I first heard it no doubt my grandchildren will enjoy it too
She makes me appreciate my age. I was lucky to be around for this incredible music in real time
45 years of listening to this darling and I'll never stop. She is in my blood like holy wine, for sure.
Merveilleuse Joni ! Merci !
Love from Paris , France

I've seen her perform this live in The Netherlands in 1983... Mind blowing, the best song ever written in the 20th. century...
Loving Joni's song for my life....65 in paradise...aloha
Only true art is the truth, we listen to her..... and know she is a truth
God, I love this woman, and I absolutely LOVE this song. I wore out three Blue LPs! Best album ever!!
without a doubt, one of the the greatest and most poetic love songs of all time
This woman is just incredible.
Joni in her prime. Beautiful woman with incredible stories to tell.
It breaks my heart to hear this song,, pain and love combined
[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
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 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
Chorus]
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
[Verse 3]
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"
[Chorus]
Oh, but you are in my blood, you are 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
Thank you for the lyrics. Just Awesome.
Amazing.
This song has been round me since ages. Many tried again: Prince and recently James Blake (appreciate!). But Joni Mitchell still moves me to tears. This is great, tis for eternity..
not gonna lie prince did a live version this same year on august 3rd that is hauntingly beautiful, just him on guitar and I think Lisa on keyboards, but Joni is the original ;)
James Wolpert did it on "The Voice" a few years back & also did a fine job. ua-cam.com/video/eiGsWgniOvE/v-deo.html
Tree Funk Jones I would not have been hipped to Joni were it not for Prince. He was giving her props as early as 1980. And I’m grateful he did. Between the two of them, music just exudes and exalts Joy for me.
Beautiful sentiment...
Try the version of portuguese singer Ana Moura, the best version I ever heard.
This song always blows my mind....
It’s never gets old Helen.
Where are you from?
I feel so sorry for the 23 people who gave this a thumbs down ! Astounding !!
I was at this gig. I had not heard this song before that night. Simply too beautiful for words.
My count here for one of the top 100 songs ever made & in this case singer and songwriter and instrument player, honestly, in history has anyone-else ever neared her work?
Beautiful, unfathomable Scorpio writes a love song and now we're all in awe for decades. Love you so much Joni! ❤
Unbelievable singer...she only got better as she aged.
You're in my blood like holy wine
Since the first time I heard Joni I was so touched in my soul tears fell...and I fell in love.
An angel's voice and words. Forever.
Joni Mitchell is my favorite concert of all time. It was in salt lake city. With tom Scott and the L A express. What more can i say !
Music, straight for her soul, to our ears.
Her voice was in such a sweet spot. The cigarettes had roughened it, but hadn't limited the range yet.
4 packs a day apparently but how the hell did she not smoke on stage? 6 cigarettes burning on the headstock of her six string guitar.
SMOKING DESTROYED HER HEALTH AND GOT OLD BEFORE HER TIME IT'S JUST DEPRESSING AND TRAGIC.
@@DENIEL381 she's stated that the only reason she started to sing as a kid was to get money to smoke, so u gotta take the good with the bad....the desire to smoke gave her initiative to sing in the first place which has gifted us her voice
@@jeanlabath NO SMOKING HAD NOTHING TO WITH HER SINGING IT'S JUST A ADDICTION THAT DESTROYED HER HEALTH.
@@DENIEL381"I’d imitate Judy Collins and Joan Baez, just to get money to smoke, basically. With no ambition. Just for fun."-Joni Mitchell
she states it in plain english in this interview...

I love Joni!❤ This is the most magnificent song! It brings up so many sweet things!❤❤
My Father raised me on Joni. We saw her in concert for her Both Sides Now tour. We both choked on tears through the whole thing. Her older voiced Blue was a heavy blanket.
My Father died a few years later of lung cancer at 52. I was 26. I am now 41 and the song Blue breaks me to no end. That and River. I wish I had one to just skate away on...
Maybe fly? Anything to see that sweet man again.
Just Joni and a single stringed instrument! What could be more ethereal?
Oh Joni. So beautiful you are. Thank you for your music.
Oh Joni my goddess
Your songs feeds my soul
What a maestro!- Her influence will be felt for years to come.
How anyone could put a thumbs down on anything Joni does just amazes me !!
I saw Joni for the first time in 1983. I had waited years to see her. She played on Boston Common. It was horrible. She was about a half hour - 45 minutes late. Then, when she came out, she played for a few minutes and then walked off the stage in a huff, saying she could t play when people were still walking to their seats. She came back after a bit, then played for 30 minutes tops. My mom and I were SO upset. Turns out, at this time in her life, she had a bad cocaine habit. Now I understand. Thankfully, I saw her about 12 years later at the New Orleans Jazz Festival (we went because she was headlining). She was sublime. I’m so happy that I got to see her in top form. I love Joni so much. I’m thankful for that day, and for her masterful body of work. She’s amazing. Oh! And I was able to see one of her paintings in real life. A friend was house sitting for her accountant in Massachusetts. That was very special, too! I have photos of it somewhere!
Probly most of her fans, never knew of her struggles with illnesses, which kept her from performing for long length of time; or that she was essentially not supported by her family, in her pursuit of her arts, nor much of anything else.
From great heartbreak, can come great art...Joni is one!
Isn't it the freedom of the swaying rhythm that is essence of the song? It creates a feeling of a time of love, gone, but still longed for. It's a masterwork no matter how you take it.
And to think I found this performance the first time now, this late in life. What a beautiful talent.
Crystal magic. Class act. Deep, sensitive, poetic and deep as the sea.
True n special talent :))
Prince does a gorgeous version. Love them both 👌🏻
One of the most beautiful songs ever. And that voice!
Joni's voice that night was perfect for this one!
By far her best song
who ever wrote such a gorgeous song and then sang it with the voice of an angel. Her singing is somehow even more passionate than the original recording here.
my favourite song of all xxx get well soon Joni xx
endless love to you Maggi.
Has anyone ever sung a song so simultaneously effortless yet emotionally charged? Goodness you don’t hear anyone sing or write or perform like this today... though I guess there never was before nor will there ever be another quite on her level.. Joni the GOAT 🐐
Beautiful version of a beautiful song. Her voice is so pure ...
Happy birthday 2021, Joni Mitchell! Thank you for all of the wonderful, beautiful, emotionally rich music you've given to the world. You have a beautiful soul, and amazing talents. I'm glad you were born.
You've given the world a great gift.💗 Thank you, Joni.
This particular live version is my favorite rendition of this song. I get goosebumps
Best Artist the Hand of God has offered to the hearts of the blessed.
as tears stream down my face........
The voice, smoky smooth.
I just love you. And I'm an old hippie so I know what I'm talking about when it comes to beautiful music thank you Jonie
Staggeringly beautiful
Love listening to joni,love and peace to all listening now .xx
I saw Joni Mitchell live in concert in New Haven she was wonderful absolutely amazing 😉
Her Lyrics are right up there with Dylan and she deserves a Nobel in literature too.
