*******************
Welcome to the official KZfaq channel of Joni Mitchell, whose songs “River,” “Both Sides Now," “California,” and albums ‘Clouds,’ ‘Ladies of the Canyon’ and ‘Blue’ compose only a fragment of a multi-disciplinary artistic output that has been embraced across generations, inspired multitudes of artists, and earned every conceivable accolade.
One of the world’s most remarkable and beloved artists, Mitchell has influenced musicians across a vast cross-section of genres with her ethereal songs that reflect social and environmental ideals. The prolific singer-songwriter-painter-poet has not only written and produced her music, but also designed most of her album covers and packaging. A journey into Joni Mitchell’s artistry is one of a highly original, harmonically innovative, and emotionally charged, familiar yet fresh adventure.

A man who I loved reappeared briefly in my life and played this whole album for me in twilight in his apartment and then ghosted me. Unrequited love is a terrible drug and torches are rarely worth carrying. But Joni’s music hurts so good.

In 1985 I was 18 and living at my friend's Mom's house in East York. She had Joni Mitchell's album Blue, and I listened to it over and over again, every day for the year that I lived there. The most beautiful music I've ever heard. The most beautiful vibe. And as a student of jazz and songwriting, she was one of my biggest influences. I learned that you can break all the rules, if you stick to your truth; creating beauty. Joni is the truest Folk Musician. I am grateful to have owned her other albums; Mingus, Hejira, Don Juan's Reckless Daughter, Court and Spark, and The Hissing of Summer Lawns. It is no wonder every great male folk musician was smitten by her beauty and singular unearthly talent! Thank God and Goddess for Joni! ♥💕💞🥰

I was 20 when this album came out. I’d just given up a baby girl for adoption and had been in relationships of little commitment. I bought the record and put it on my stereo in my tiny apartment…. When Little Green started I sobbed and sobbed. I cried through many of these songs . Joni Mitchell is my heart ❤️. My daughter found me later in her adult life.

Giving up anything is hard to do but sometimes it's the best and most right thing to do. There are many ways to give up a child: one is to adoption and the other is to lose a child to death sometimes it takes many years to deal with the letting go Johnny has captured this perfectly in little green Bravo. Just because you get let a child go doesn't mean that you're not still a mother. Motherhood is forever

Sheer beauty, astounding for us at that moment. A beautiful memory none of us will ever forget.

Every time I hear this song, I wonder if my name was meant in this song, whether my Asian wife was really happier than the figure skater, whether I had given up believing that a really honest understanding is possible, and whether, I tended to tell myself that it's all just pretty lies. And then you hear all that sung so incredibly beautifully by Joni, holding the perfect balance, describing, judgement free, softly motivating for a change of view. Well I guess it pushed me a bit in a better direction.

I'm 73, and I've adored Joni since my late teens. I discovered her after her first or second album (I don't remember which). I was living in NYC, and she was giving concerts in NYC, some of them in very small venues such as night clubs. I saw her at one of those night clubs. Because I had made a reservation, when I arrived, they took me to the first row (a wooden bench) and asked the other patrons to scoot over, so I watched Joni give her concert about ten feet away from me. (The stage was very small.) Unfortunately, I was so new to her music then that I didn't recognize any of her songs, having listen to one album just once or twice. Now, in my old age, I have listened to each song perhaps fifty times. My feeling about Joni is that she was the greatest singer-songwriter (up through her album Hejira). She sang with more feeling, nuance and sensitivity than any other singer. Starting with Don Juan's Reckless Daughter, she started to sing in a more stylized way which I couldn't relate to. Her first eight albums are her best work. I'm happy for all you young people who have discovered Joni. She may be the best singer you will ever listen to.

I was introduced to Joni Mitchell by my dad in the 1970s when I was around 7...He has every album etc Joni has ever made or had connection to..I am now 57 and this is one of my favourite albums of all time..Dad is still alive but he has stated Joni should be played at his funeral..My son at 27 and a musician is also in awe of Joni as the talent she is..Her music makes me cry when I listen and will always and forever be my dad to me💙 I am seeing him tomorrow visiting the cenotaph where his grandad was remembered from WW2...perhaps we will put Joni on❤️

I'm black so Joni wasn't being played in the house but as I became a music producer and started sample searching I realized she's a vocal goat ❤️

@mgcnashville6615 Жыл бұрын

I’m the opposite. My mom loved all this stuff so growing up I rejected it. Only as an adult did I realize how good it was and start to appreciate it. Also a producer. So I am always looking to expand my musical tastes and keep an open mind to music I may have otherwise never heard. Check out café Del Mar. Goldmine for sample material.

Dear Joni, at the time your album "Blue" was released, I was a young boy of 17. As many others I was longing for peace and freedom in the entire world.☮︎ But my personal world was full of sadness and depressions. Somehow you saved my life with your music and your lyrics. It helped me to get through this swamp of feelings. Im very thankful and still alive and well. Sometimes I sing your songs in my own way, and I tell you it's not easy! All the best and love ♡ from my hometown in Germany! Juergen
