When someone told Joni that this was becoming a Christmas carol, she asked "why shouldn't sad people have a song at Xmas?"
She did have that snarky side! Loved her visual revenge thought in "Just Like This Train." Got me through a few break-ups! So many of us identified with her in one way or another through her vulnerability.
Indeed
I recently discovered just how great a singer/songwriter Joni Mitchell is. I grew up only hearing a small sample of her more popular songs which where often played on the radio. After discovering how good her 1st album is, I bought box sets of all her Reprise and Asylum albums from 1968-1975, and I'm amazed how good virtually every song is! Funny how you can make such a discovery after 50+ years.
It’s a shame she pulled her entire discography off of Spotify. I so enjoyed doing deep dives into all her material. All of it just sooo good.
This is the way. Once you fall down the Joni rabbit hole, there's no going back. I was in your shoes about 20 or so years ago, and her music still feels so brand new to me.
Well, my goodness, when you decide to get into something, you really invest, eh? Literally!
VERY wise investment, which will pay dividends for the rest of your life!
Happy New Year!
Growing up in Australia in the 70s, I only ever heard ‘Big Yellow Taxi’
I bought Blue in the 90s on a recommendation from a book & it blew me away completely
I tried Court & Spark & was a little disappointed but upon repeat plays it is now my favourite of hers. I found the same thing with Pet Sounds too after listening to all the Beach Boys singles. Just takes a little time occasionally.
I really like For The Roses. For me it’s a bridge from Blue to Court & Spark.
I really envy those who heard these albums as they came out. Very special moments in time.
She's so versatile as well. Her self disclosure through music, poetry, and art gave so many of us a sense of not being alone, in oh so many ways!
Just a complete artist and pure genius and one of the greatest singer songwriters of all time. What a voice as well...unique. Such an emotional artist. It's such a gift to do that and Joni has it in spades. More Joni please
and the emotion comes through the tips of her fingers as well
If I could pick out one artist that I would say is the best.. the best singer the best songwriter the best musician it would definitely be Joni Mitchell. Her songs are so hauntingly beautiful.
I love James Taylor, Carole King, Stephen Bishop, Donald Fagen etc but nothing tops this album. Nothing.
How could this not reduce anyone to tears, any track from Blue will achieve that; it gets me every time. A true true musical, and lyrical genius, almost unmatched emotion committed to vinyl. Impeccable.
I know this is from last year, but… never a truer word.
I had this album, cassette and CD for years and ugly cry at this one everytime. Sometimes I have to skip River.
Let it all out man, everyone needs to be unafraid to express themselves. Your channel is my river to memories and joy. ❤️
I couldn’t agree more.
Nicely put, Scott!
Happy new year to you, the person who requested King of the World, one of my favorite Steely Dan songs.
Such a lovely reaction to such a lovely song. This song was sung on many occasions by my late wife when she was either at the piano or had her guitar in hand. So many happy memories. Reduced me to tears as well, Nick.
Tonight (3/31/2023) I watched The Library of Congress Gershwin Award for pop song … awarded to Joni Mitchell. The show was 1.5 hours of her songs performed by other artists. It was f a n t a s t i c! I highly recommend trying to check it out. Joni herself performed the Gershwin song Summertime and her song Circle Time. 2 years ago she suffered a brain aneurysm and was in a coma. It’s amazing she’s still with us and can still perform.
Knowing the history behind the song makes it twice as crushing. It’s great to know that she was able to meet her daughter for the first time when her daughter was about 35 years old. And this song has become a universal ode to the countless people for whom the joy of the holiday season seems almost unbearable, for whatever reasons.
Joni Mitchell man! What an incredible artist!
The more you know about Joni during this time of her life and what she gave up for her career the sadder it is. She had put a baby up for adoption and broken up with Gram Nash by the time giving double meaning to the phrase I lost the best baby that I ever had.
I love this song and the entire Blue album. Joni is a treasure, so unique. I also have to say how obvious it is that Nick loves his bride very much, and we are all here for it!!!
I’m going to have to save to “watch later”. It’s not a good time to “get stuff in my eyes”.
Happy Holidays!❤
Hope you enjoy!
I'm very off the Beaten Track and my two favorite Joni Mitchell songs which you probably never hear are Urge for Going and Songs to Aging Children Come. I hope you guys will take a listen to them. Both masterpieces
The greatest singer songwriter ever. Pure and simple! There are a hundred songs we could choose, and they would be great xx
Lovely. Can barely wait until you get to “Little Green” - hopefully both of you. Happy holidays.
When Joni wrote the songs for the album Blue she was living in Laurel Canyon in California with Graham Nash. So the songs are also believed to be inspired by there relationship. By the time Blue was released it was over.
Joni is genius & you guys are adorable ❤
Yes she is! Thank you for your kindness and for watching!! 💗 ✨
Can't say enough about this album! An great upbeat song on it is "Carey". Also, love "California", "All I Want", and "My Old Man."
I love how the music moves Nick.
Friend, you’re a true lover of all things music if there ever was one! 👍🏻
What an honor it is to watch someone react to music that they love. Thanks for letting us in Lex.
This is one of my all time favorite songs. The clever use of the Jingle Bells theme in a jazzy rendition, to the melancholy lyrics and voice is special. Joni is a master of music and emotion.
At last someone spotted Jingle Bells lol
I don't know how many times I've listened to this incredible song from Joni, and every time I feel myself welling up. It's one of her very finest. Pure genius.
Just came home and found this - nice surprise 😀 Talking about emotions, it's one of the reasons, why I follow a handful other channels and I have to say - I hope it's ok - but Nick is the most emotional man, that I have seen in youtube. Usually the guys are just cool and do "smart" comments ... so let the tears flow, we love you for that, and maybe even sometimes cry a little with you 🥲 Honestly I can't remember, when a song made me cry for the first time, but lately I made the experience, that even an instrumental song, which is played with passion, can get my eyes wet.... might come with the age, too.
So, what can I say about this Joni song : simply beautiful ❤
Hi Rudi , Happy New Year ! ... I cry more at the music than lyrics with few exceptions like this song by Joni with the lyrics + voice being so dominant and just a piano. What gets me every time is a guitar solo and even a guitar riff can do it....[ Rush "Bravado" hits me in seconds ] Orchestral music, usually a movie soundtrack can get me emotional. [ Last of the Mohicans main theme is no1 on my emotional list. The cd is impossible to play without tears ] Anyway , wishing you all the best for 2023 Rudi !
@@jimled50jl49 Hi Jim, my brother in sneezing and having a dripping nose, it got me too. 😆 I think each solo played with emotions can get you, no matter if piano, guitar, saxofone and especially the violin; maybe that's even the first time, when I felt like this with Kansas. Other goosebump songs were Stairway to heaven (not any more) Red Barchetta by Rush and the Sax in King Crimson's Starless.
Can "we play a game" ? Do you know Chris Botti ? On his live in Boston DVD he has a song Emanuel, just him and the violin player and some orchestra ... I wonder, if you "react" to this beautiful song ... take your time... can be next year 🤣🤣🤣
By the way : I thought, I'm first. When I started writing, there was no comment yet.
HAPPY NEW YEAR ...... and ... the band with the 4 letters is gonna come 🤘
@@rudolfbecker4313 Hi Rudi, I have not heard this so I have noted it down to remember to listen and I will let you know. Yes of course other instruments doing solo can get very emotional. ... The sax on Barclay James Harvest "Play To The World" has me in floods ! Band - 4 letters !!! ... Yeaaaah ! It's gona be great ! Happy New Year Rudi !!!
@@jimled50jl49 Good morning Jim, last day of 2022 has begun, I'm looking forward to tonight's concert, we are going to see Beethoven's 9th symphony played by orchestra in Düsseldorf; I'm also looking forward to my next marathon, Nick said it's gonna be out soon, it's some kind of retrospection with music from happy to heavy, ending with a beautiful, sad song ... I'm not gonna say more
Usually I don't tell anybody "you must", but in the case of Chris Botti it's the ultimate kick to get the full emotion of this specific song, when you SEE this tiny female violin player. I love the passion, when she plays and the emotions on her face .. almost unique ... I'm excited about your comment.
Enjoy the last hours of 2022 and Happy New Year to you and all your beloved ones. Let's hope for peace, love and health in 2023❤ .. and of course more great music 🤘
PS: to give you an idea of the wide variety of my taste I tell you my concert plans for 2023
Jan 29 : with my "metal-son" Tim we are going to see Jinjer and Bullet for my valentine
Feb 08 : with my best friend Olli we are going to see Dream Theater (for the 18th time)🤭
Mar 09 : with my son we are going to see the Australian Pink Floyd show playing The Dark Side of the moon
these are fixed: further plans are RPWL, The Watch (italian Genesis cover band of the 70s) Winery Dogs
Sep 12 : AYREON, yes we made it, the first 9000 tickets were sold in 10 minutes, didn't get any for the first extra show, but then Olli got lucky so it's gonna be an unusual Saturday noon show ....who cares ...
I'm only looking for some nice jazz/jazzfusion concert ... maybe some Candy Dulfer ..
So what do you think ? which event would you like to see ? .... so I hope 2023 is making me happy 😀
@@rudolfbecker4313 Hi Rudi that's a great list of concerts. I have seen Australian Pink Floyd about 5 times, but it's been a few years now since they came anywhere near I can go. I think Covid didn't help. I did get one of their dvds in their mercendize so very happy with that. I definitely fancy seeing The Watch. I'm more old school 70's kinda guy. My modern tastes are more Porcupine Tree & Pineapple Thief when it comes to prog. I love smooth jazz & Jazz fusion. I'm actually getting into trio's & quartets with the stand up bass. Lovely on a rainy Sunday afternoon. Take care and again best wishes for 2023.
The tears will flow sooner or later. Oh Joni!😔
Oh, boy. This one takes me back. I owned the album but didn’t share that with my hard rock friends. We all have at least one of those Christmases that aren’t full of joy and peace. We all feel like Joni did that year sometimes, don’t we? This was the album that hooked me on Joni and I never let go. Very touching to watch you two react to this. Jingle All The Way…..
Blue is a masterpiece. What else can you say.
I have to say: if you're talking about having to build up a tolerance to Joni Mitchell's ability to make you cry, she's probably pretty good (wouldn't you agree, Nick?) I have fond memories of when Blue came out, and my first listen. This song is so beautiful, gorgeous and cleverly arranged and performed, it fills me with inspiration and a lot of envy. JM has EVERYTHING. To the tenth power!
One of her best and a great ‘almost Christmas’ song………….
Pure Genius😊
Don't know what's more beautiful.....your reactions , your relationship or Joni :) Peace and love
That is so sweet; thank you!! ❤️
You can't go wrong with early Joni. I love how she goes back and forth playing both piano and guitar so fantastically. Brilliant and beautiful stuff!
Hi again, I've been full of a cold for a few days, sitting with tissues every time I sneeze ... Watching this...gonna need more tissues 🤪... A combo of the song ... your reactions and the fact seeing you both together....yea we sure miss you together, but so glad Nicks solo reactions are doing so well. Looking forward to 2023 and more of you both. Thankyou for this, it is indeed a beautiful song. [ sniff sniff ... I'm not crying .. I have a cold ] Happy New Year ! Byeee Jim X ❤
I hope you feel better soon Jim. Take care.
@@raiderfan346 Hey Raider !!! Thankyou ! Have a Happy New Year !!
Good health and happiness to you in the New Year, Jim!
@@debrabrabenec3731 Debra, thankyou ! Wishing you all the very best for 2023. Here's hoping it's a good one.
@@jimled50jl49 Thanks!
Haven't even watched, and I knew tears would be shed. I love your sensitivity! Joni's vulnerability was something so many of us could identify with. Life long admirer here since Blue.
Blue is my favorite album. Love experiencing it with you guys. Had to watch this after watching the other one ..(that was awesome) Also one of my all tme favorite songs...Love you guys..We could be friends. Cindy
I wish I had a River …
Beautiful.
Thanks ❤
Hey, Michele, it's good to see you back in the comments! Hope you're doing well!❤️❤️❤️
@@debrabrabenec3731 Thanks, Debra. Wishing the best for everyone in 2023. 🥂❤️🔥
Hi Michele, Joni not only brings tears but also your comeback ❤
Thanks guys, love Joni!! My favorite Joni song is Real Good for Free, because it exemplifies the honesty in her songs, which I love.
I had the "Blue" album when I was 17.....I get it !
You 2 are adorable. Just now seeing this and I definitely want to see a picture of Elf, maybe next Christmas?
I had never listened to any of Joni's full albums until 1983, when I was in Grad school, my mid 20's, and I'm glad that it happened then, and not when I was younger. Both "Blue" and "For the Roses" found their way into my life and they were stunning revelations. I had that feeling of disappointment that many "reactors" might experience where I wished I had known that I was missing this brilliant artist. But now, 40 years later, I'm just thankful that her music still resonates and touches us, and still marvel at her genius.
Cannot listen to this without tearing up.
Thank you for more, Joni😊
You're welcome 😊
I had actually just finished listening to Herbie Hancock's River (the joni letters) album, a tribute to Joni Mitchell, when I opened You Tube and saw this post! It is a wonderful album, featuring Wayne Shorter and several singers, including Corinne Bailey Rae, who does a beautiful rendition of "River." Nothing beats the purity of the original, though. I love her melancholic re-harmonization of "Jingle Bells", so inspired! Your reaction was sweet, Nick, with the giggling glances you two shared throughout the video. We all love how you keep it real! 🎵❤️🎵
They are so fun together.
A beautiful, sad song. This album is a masterpiece.
How I love this song - 53 years since it first stopped me in my tracks, lying in bed and listening to it on a transistor radio late one night. What a genius!
An emotionally honest and devastating song- I actually love that people are expecting to find Christmas spirit here, but the feeling and intention is quite the opposite.
Love this one, so clever and effortless.
Joni grew up in Canada, I've heard that skating on the frozen rivers is a popular pastime there.
Usually frozen ponds
@@richardhornbostel3958 Cool !! Thank you.
Brother, no worries. The older I get, the more Joni rips me up.
Joni ..... what can I say. So important to my life soundtrack. Please check her out more-I esp. love Summer Lawns. Best wishes for the New Year-for Nick's Mom too.
Of the songs from her I've heard this one does it to me too. MC&HNY...
I hadn't seen Elf until this past Christmas evening. Funny.
Glad you enjoyed it! Always a fun time watching it! 🎄
Please also do a reaction to joni's both sides now that she did at newport festival/ the grammys. and I suggest you listen first to the 1969 and 2000 renditions of the song to} hear how her voice aged so beautifully and to know the difference in her interpretations of the song (it is worth noting that by this time, she has fully recovered from a surgery due to brain aneurysm that had caused her stroke; she even said in an interview that she had to re-learn how to sing again after this) 😢 She's such a LEGEND.
Beautiful, beautiful. Gets me every time.
So many wonderful Joni songs. Try a really early one- Urge For Going, the Live Studio 1966 video on UA-cam. From a Canadian TV show,
Let’s Sing Out. Tom Rush did an iconic cover a bit later- his deeply resonant voice a contrast to Joni’s ethereal, angelic voice, but each great in their own way. Shows what great songwriting can do.
You have GOT to listen to some of the songs from her next album, For the Roses!!
Nick, it's great to see you express your emotions. I'm a 75-year-old born in an era when it wasn't cool for a man to cry. Now's the time for all of us, men and women, to embody the Divine Feminine, and you're surely doing that Nick. I honor you for that. And it's great to see young people embrace real music. You and Lex are a joy to watch.
I’ve watched your a case of you reaction way to many times! Love your reactions
Of course Joni can get to you with her lyrics and angelic voice but she can even do it with the piano!! 🥰 PJ
One of the best versions of this song was covered by Sarah McLachlan on her Christmas album.
Heart does a beautiful job on their Road Home live acoustic album.
Joni mitchell was and is a fighter, so fight people for your rights dont give up.
Thank you, I needed to hear that!
Thanks
Such a lovely song and artist. My eyes filled with tears too Lex, moved by nostalgic feelings😪 Have always been in awe of Joni and her work. Her album "Court and Spark" is a masterpiece. Thank you so much for posting this sweet reaction.🧡
Because of my age, I have the sheer joy of experiencing Joni's music as it was released. Her biographical story telling through song is unmatched IMHO. I have just recently repurchased many of her CDs as replacements for heavily used vinyl. Joni is a pure delight. Thanks Guys. Happy New Year. PS her Jazz infused later work (often collaborating with Jaco Pastorius) is not to be understated or missed.
Even if your circumstance isn't the same as Joni's I think many people have had a hard situation with someone around the holidays. It makes what should be a happy season really difficult and sad. There's really no worse time to be going through it.
What more needs to be said that hasn't already been said? Great reaction to a great song. Even nearly 50 years later it sparkles despite its heartbreaking theme of the loss of a relationship around Christmas time. Like Nick, I always loved the piano-only backing and the _Jingle Bells_ motif. Joni's voice, as was common during these years of her career, just soars into that high, sweet soprano that pulls at the heartstrings.
The photos of her skating on the lake would show up for the _Hejira_ album art, and that "Black Crow" costume is seen in the music video for _Hejira_ (backed by the _Shadows and Light_ live recording), and also features late figure skater Toller Cranston. Both the studio version and the live version are very worthy of a reaction (more Jaco Pastorius!).
Blue is a perfect album
She massaged my ears with her voice. Eargasm!
Great song choice. One of these days please try "Help Me" from Joni.
Awesome, awesome. I've loved this song and album for over thirty years. Happy new year to you both and I hope the new year brings better days and better health. Cheers, na zdravi, prost, ¡salud!!
I believe she wrote this after breaking up with Graham Nash (Hollies, Crosby Stills Nash and sometimes Young). Happy New Year NnL!
would love to see if nick can hold it together hearing Alison Krauss, one of the purest voices you ever heard. Also should listen to John Prine, could be a rabbit hole to go down.
Her 1966 debut B/W video broadcast on a local Sudbury, Ontario Canadain TV station performing "Urge for Going" is well worth watching!
Jingle bells in minor key to fit the feeling of the song
Wow, just wow! Is this woman human? I'm on my knees here, feeling Christmas for the first time in years.
I have seen Nick do some videos on his own, and I've seen you guys together. Not sure what it was all about, but it's nice to see you two doing them together.
Alexia has a bad back so Nick does more videos. They wish they could do all videos together. Nick does mostly requests and marathons and videos up to 40 -50 minutes long. Alexia does short songs together with Nick everyday. The first video posted daily is them two together.
@@NicknLex Wow! I feel lazy seeing how hard some people work! I hope your back improves, Alexia. Happy New Year!
It’s moving, how moved you were. Lovely, between you.
I just come here to weep.
I love your reaction to this sad beautiful song.
Please, please consider for your next song from Blue - "the last time I saw richard", my favorite Joni song ❤️❤️
This song is a salve for the soul. I lost my sister at this time last year to Covid and Iistened to this song on repeat.
So sorry for your loss. Big hug! ❤️
Carey! Same album. You want a tear jerker, try Little Green and also Richard. All on Blue.
Sweet reaction vid guys of the great Joni. Yes, one of the greatest ever from atop the Singer/Songwriter Mt. Rushmore.
Cheers from melting Winter Wonderland of Evergreen!
Skating on a frozen lake/river is so amazing. I wish to travel to Sweden someday and skate on their pristine fjord lakes.
DANKE
It's sure wonderful to see you two together.
Have a great 2023.
Same to you!
Not getting notifications again. I have a few female vocalist marathons I hope you both can see, whenever that opens up again. If you aren't going to do that anymore, since the songs are under 5 min., I guess I'll have to put them on Music With Nick. This song was about breaking up with Graham Nash.
Topic: Is there a sadder Christmas song than this one? Talk amongst yourselves.
Should have had video on Ms. Joni on this one also. LEGENDARY WOMAN!!!
This is from 1971. Joni got the idea to do this "Christmas" song from Laura Nyro. In 1970, Laura did "Christmas In My Soul". It's on her Christmas And The Beads Of Sweat album.
I'm so happy you two have each other to experience this with together. Lovely.
Would you consider reviewing the film "Once" together? 🙏🙂
more joni, please...
what an amazing song so true in my life.. u guys made me tear up lol
For a different uptempo piece from Joni check out Raised on Robbery.
Love this!!! Up here in Canada it's common to go skateing on the rivers, and just feel free.
With the season this is a great selection! 'I am ready' says Nick. Oh man. No you are not. Now I will listen..... (to bad with Spotify, but I respect Joni's reasons to pull her work) A REAL man can show your emotions!
The "skating" photo is probably from the cover of JM's "Hejira" album. I know the channel has reacted to at least one cut from it ("Coyote").
It won't make you cry but Hissing of Summer Lawns album is a fantastic album. Edith and the Kingpin especially good
Love this! Thank you:) I have heard this song covered by other artists and didn’t realize it was Joni!
I thought you would have already done this song. What a wonderful surprise. Such greatness 😎👍🍁 Thank you
P.S. We all want you Alexia to take care of your back. Hopefully you can find a solution to make it easier.
Joni, a most amazing poet!
Sweet Girl.
Being from Florida, I love your appreciation of the winter weather since I too am living in Colorado. So cool you are no longer in the 'tropics' but love Denver. This and 'A Case of You' are also my favorite of hers (or of anyone). SO glad to have Lex back, even for a short time. (I am curious of where Lex is in her Genesis journey)
