This woman gave me my voice...I was born in 1960 and watched my brothers, all older than me in '69 take off for the Woodstock festival only a couple of hours from our home in Brooklyn, NY. I was 9 then and very shy. One of my bothers, who was a musician, heard me in my room singing along with my Joni Mitchell album .. (I'd eventually collected all of her LP's....and taught myself the guitar chords to each of her songs so I could sing to myself when I was blue).and he told me..."You sound just like her..". In later years, when I became a mother, I sang to my first baby, a preemie born at my 24th wk of pregnancy, while she was in the n.i.c.u for 4 months to comfort her in her struggle to live. After she'd passed away, 7 1/2 months later, Joni Mitchell's voice comforted me as I would sit alone in my grief. When my other children were bourn to me, again I was blessed and would softly sing Joni's tunes as I'd cradled each one in the carrier every day, over my heart, on our journey to the market, nursing them or just doing my chores around the apartment, lulling them to a peaceful sleep. I, myself was adopted as a child, so parenting is nothing I take lightly. I never knew my birth mother, but I thank heaven I was finally taken in to a permanent family. To this day, when I feel grief and the blues coming on, I sing to myself while going about my day. My heart broke when I had heard Joni was rushed to the hospital. I cried and prayed...There is no one, absolutely no one who compares to this lovely Angel on Earth. She is radiant!

One of her best songs. How weird it must be to perform before such a huge audience where so many seem to be partying and ignoring what's happening onstage. Mitchell's rapport with brilliant bassist Jaco Pastorius was magical, but he was sadly very troubled, provoking bar fights for unknown reasons. The worst of these put him in the hospital where he died of his injuries just a year after this performance. A tragedy for popular music.

Most of her songs (since I was just a kid) I never knew what she was singing about. But I still felt every haunting emotion of hers that touched me deep inside my soul as no one else's music ever did. I'm now 64 years old and she still makes me tremble.

I never noticed that she changed the line, 'when I'm always bound and tied to someone' to: "when I need something from someone...." That stanza is my favorite in the song....and it just got better.... 'When I need something from someone' means she is craving connection, validation, and her ideals to become reality. There's a slight variation in the final stanza too: Just a defector from your petty wars that shell shocked love away.' she puts the emphasis on 'your petty wars; she stands alone.... It's so sad.

“Just a defector from your petty wars That shell-shock love away” . Like Van and Dylan, Joni continues to re work and improve her poetry over the years by changing a word or a line.
