This song means more to be now at 63 years old than it did when I first heard it at 17 years old in the 70s. Then there's the movie Love Actually where Joni sings this in the movie at her older age with the deep raspy voice from year's of smoking and the song’s rousing embodiment of loss, heartbreak and reflection come crashing into the frame as Thompson delivers a devastating acting masterclass. This song is timeless ❤️ Brings me to tears everytime 😪

Joni's catalog is huge. She went into numerous other genres with her writing and was famous for various guitar tunings that enabled her to play comfortably after having polio as a child. She is now late 70's but has publicly appeared and performed briefly since having an aneurysm in 2015. Legend, icon, musician/poet/songwriter. Much of her music has been covered by other artists, my favorite being Prince doing, "a case of you". All hail to Joni. 🥰

The single was in the top ten in the USA, and won a Grammy in 1969 for Best Folk Performance. Judy also has a magnificent voice. I saw Judy Collins and Stephen Stills when they toured together in 2017 - she still sounds like an angel.

She has so many great songs but you guys should try her jazz period. She played with the best players like Wayne Shorter (sax), Jaco Pastorius (bass), etc. Would recommend “Coyote “, “Amelia”.,”Hejira”. PS. I love Kate Bush as well. She was just voted into the R&R Hall of Fame!! Tell Jay to try “Love and Anger” with guest guitarist David Gilmore from Pink Floyd who actually “discovered “ Kate and helped her get her first contract. I guarantee he’ll become a fan.

You can really feel the differences in how she interprets the song and how beautiful both are.

I agree with other posts below -- You MUST watch/listen to 80-year-old Joni Mitchell's performance of Both Sides Now at the 2024 Grammys. Her voice is VERY different now, and not just because of age, but also because she has spent a number of years recovering from a burst aneurysm in her brain. She had to learn how to speak, walk, and sing all over again. So to see and hear her bring her years and wisdom and experience and clear-sighted perspective to a song she wrote and first recorded at age 23 is just such an amazing PRIVILEGE. Go watch it immediately!

I'm going to come to Amber's defense here, for exactly the reasons she gave: Kate Bush is amazing. As unique as Joni, not better or worse, they're both treasures to music and art, and we are all lucky to live on the same planet they do.

Arguably one of the most influential song writer/musicians ever. Joni has influenced many many artists and they in turn have influenced many many artists. The list has to be in the hundreds. Joni started out in Saskatoon, Canada. The city is depicted on this album cover. The Red Lilly being the provincial flower. I went to the same high school that Joni did, although 30 years later. She stopped in one day, while I was in high school, met with some students. Dropped off an autographed photo of herself for the foyer. I had no clue who she was. Or the influence she has had. I kick myself every time I hear one of her songs that I didn’t get an autograph.

One guitar a voice and a great song. We had rockin' stuff too, but we knew how to listen - no cell phones.That's all we needed back in the day, listening to our poets as we explored life together, as they expressed our shared experiences. We had no internet; this was our medium, how we communicated our experiences, hopes and dreams and aspirations. We still have music, but to old dude me it seems we've lost a lot. Sorry, for sounding like my father.

Probably one of the most profound songs ever written.. in it's structure and words, one can interpret their OWN life/situation, "hear" and "feel" it differently every time, and it fits every era and age! :D I absolutely LOVED this album and song when it came out, and it has had a life-long impact on me! :D (wasn't until much later that I learned how much of "life" Joni had indeed experienced prior to writing this landmark song! :D) I continue to LOVE this "young Joni" version, the hints of her Canadian pronunciations and guitar playing! :D But for sheer mind-blowing EMOTION of this song, check out Joni's LIVE performance of it at the Newport Folk Festival July 2022, that event her first time singing in public since before her nearly-fatal brain aneurysm the spring of 2015. Seeing her whole "being" feeling and expressing every word of the lyrics, her vocal timing/delivery sublime, her then-78 year old voice lower in pitch but filled with the wisdom of a life deeply lived.. her eyes closed and head back... you REALLY need to see/hear that performance.. but be ready with tissues! :D (her LIVE performance at the Gorge June 10, 2023 is excellent as well.. but doesn't provide quite the same level/intensity of gut-punching/heart-wrenching and mind-blowing emotion as the Newport performance.. probably because that SURPRISE Newport show hit HER so strongly "in the feels", being the first time in front of an audience in so many years! :D) I agree Carole King is also a MASTER songwriter, piano player and singer, and she and Joni were living in the same neighborhood for a few years, and provided backing vocals on each other's albums at one point.. :D I wouldn't want to live in a world without EITHER of their music! :D (I'm not that familiar with Kate Bush, but liked what I've heard)

From The Kennedy Center website: "While Joni Mitchell’s early music is often categorized as “folk,” her sound draws as much from jazz, classical, and rock, and often encompasses bespoke tunings and song structures that defy categorization." Joni Mitchell herself has often shied away from the folk label and considers her interests and music more rooted in jazz.

Blows me away that she wrote this amazing song when she was just 23. The insightful wisdom just pours out of this. Hundreds of years from now people will admire this work of art the same way we might marvel at a Rembrandt painting or a Bach chorale today.

Thanks for this reaction from a fantastic female (Canadian, no less!) and it ain't even "Female Friday". Joni was in her early 20's when she wrote this, if I'm not mistaken. It's a song that hits differently at different stages in one's life. Jay and Amber, I'd be really curious to see your reactions to more of Joni's extensive catalog, especially when she moves into more experimental and jazzy sounds with albums like _Don Juan's Reckless Daughter_ , _Mingus_ , _Hejira_ , and _The Hissing of Summer Lawns_ . (Has Jay ever heard of the late Jaco Pastorius? He'll absolutely dig that guy's bass-playing on some of Joni's albums.)

Kate Bush and Joni Mitchell are 2 different performers and you can't really compare them from the same perspective time. I will say, though, as far as I am concerned these 2 were exceptional pioneers of women songwriters and performers both were exceptionally gifted performers and ICONIC writers. Both deserve all the respect and praise they are given.

For me, Bob Dylan is at the apex of singer-songwriters, but Joni (along with Van Morrison and Neil Young) is right up there on the second rung. The breadth and depth of Joni's achievement are almost unsurpassed. Her music is complex yet accessible, poetic yet relatable, sophisticated but not arrogant. She's one of the best artists of the rock era.

I'm with Amber in her love for Kate Bush. I've been a fan of hers since the '80s and y'all have only begun to scratch the surface with her. Try Kate Bush's "Violin" (on the album Never For Ever - 1980) or one of her really out-there songs that were included on almost every album she recorded. She is never shy about trying something creative for fear of it being perceived as weird.
