This is one of those albums that should be beamed into space in hopes that alien lifeforms, light years away, might hear and realize there really is intelligent life and great beauty on this tiny blue marble after all.
" We don't need no piece of paper from the city hall keeping us tied and true." Joni knew her relevance in the world. Always willing to share her gifts and insight. A forerunner in women's and men's liberation. Nonconformist to be my idol in so many ways. Yet, I did not know this at 14. I only sensed the power of jms words in my life. Now I experience and have lived the power of jm as a word smith and change agent in this humble life.
Wow, you seem to be an oldschool kind of girl. Rare at your age nowadays. Just amazing, hold onto that because that's where true artisty and quality keeps living on.
I found this album in 1985 in a deep discount bin at a used record store. I was more of a headbanger/punk fan, but I'd always heard it was a good album and for 2 bucks I wouldn't be out much if I picked it up. I can still remember that first listen through like it was yesterday, it was incredible. Still listen to it regularly today and still in awe of the songwriting.
THIS is religion to me, such beauty and pain and truth- it has gotten me there and back and back THERE again : Heaven on earth... Thank you Mamma Joni (Hearts)
One of the very best albums ever. She was a huge influence on me when I was living as a ski bum in Sun Valley in the 70's. Such a magic time, partly due to her music and the music of other special people like Crosby, Stills, and Nash, Seals and Croft, and others.
Only "After the Gold Rush", Stardust (Willie Nelson), and Roland Kirk's Inflated Ear, Coltrane's Love Supreme, and a few precious other albums hit me this hard (maybe the Beatles Abbey Road and the Who's Next too.
Such a beautiful voice, for one, and such a creative way to express lyrics, musically. Plus, Joni Mitchell's songs are TIMELESS. Generations who have not grown up with real song writing and musicianship like this, are missing out on a soul level......
I first saw Joni Mitchell back in 1969. Even back then, I thought she looked out of place. Her music was ahead of her time, and I believed she knew it. In my day, she did not have a large following but a small devoted few. I saw her again at the Isle of Wight concert in 1970. And again, she looked small, but her wings were beautiful. She reminds me of what Goethe said a long time ago: "Everything that is great promotes cultivation as soon as we are aware of it."
Joni is the first female vocalist that made me feel what a singing BIRD, floating along a warm breeze, might sound like. First heard this in 1980...Lifts your soul
For the first time, we see LADIES OF THE CANYON foreshadow Joni's following album. And then again, this one foretells the coming of FOR THE ROSES so well, too. I tend to lump LADIES as the 3rd of her First Gen music, and BLUE to be start of her 2nd Gen songs.
Today is 22nd of April 2023. Record Store Day. Today I bought 3 Vinyl albums: "Electric Ladyland" Jimi Hendrix Experience; "Aladdin Sane" David Bowie (to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the album) and... "Blue" Joni Mitchell. It will be side by side with Carole King's "Tapestry". I believe you recorded your albuns at the same time in the same place. I also believe Carol would sneak into your studio to play your piano. It's the little things. Thank you for the music! 💙🙏
@Saffarts Literally just downloaded like 6 Joni albums, 7 Neil albums, Crosby's debut album that was only partially uploaded because of Neil's contributions and lastly Deja Vu. What a great day for music streaming
My words here will utterly fail to convey the sincere love and admiration I have for this album. It's a love I've carried for a long time now. Blue is perhaps without peer - save for Heijira IMHO - and its perfection takes nothing away from it being the most personal of albums: something that stays under your skin as an intimate connection between just you the listener and Joni.
For the Rose's one of my favorite but this is close second. I love all her albums actually.. we share a birthdate. I am also a songwriter/ musician. Shared her engineer Henry Lewy who tried to introduce us when I was recording at Skylight Studios in Topangnga. But alas she wasn't home.....sigh. oh well.😎🏜❤🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🌈🌈🌈
I think Joni's music fans might look to phraseology and polyrhythm. Every 4 bars becomes a new song in her guitar work and her voice to contra- point (Jaco) is an extension of herself. A beautiful crafter of personal stories without resort to anecdotes .
Dont expect everything for free! Ive bought this album twice once on vinyl (in 1975) and also on CD. So its convenient on You Tube, but hey adverts pay wages!!!
I bought this album in 1971 in Detroit; I'm listening to it tonight in Granada, Spain at the age of 75. The album retains it's pure molecular weight, timeless power, and beauty - like a gyroscope, like a comet, like flamenco cante jondo. I give thanks for a lot of things; and one of them is that I lived in the age of Joni Mitchell, and got to see her perform live.
1970 for me 74 on a trip from Miami to visit Chicago. I read once her octave range is huge. I was in art school in Sarasota 1978 and met Carey (mine) under the pool table light and my friend said Marilyn (Monroe) meet Carey (Grant) he swept me in his arms in a deep dip. We stayed friends, he was an underwater welder for oil rigs. Only astronauts pay more for life insurance. Lost track of him while I was in Germany. mid 80's.
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.
I too was about 20 when I first heard this album. Why do they say that this about her baby was some kind of secret till the 1990s? All I remember is that I and my friends at the time all knew exactly what Little Green was about. Do I remember wrong? I guess not, since Linda had this experience. Thanks for telling about it.
One of the first Joni albums I bought was the double live _"Miles of Aisles"._ The live version of _"A Case of You"_ and _"The Last Time I Saw Richard"_ and the other songs from _"Blue"_ on that album affected me profoundly. In a really, very, very good way! {:o:O:}
I`m only 60 brother . I`ts great to read the comments from music lovers , I was playing in a band in Glasgow and a couple of the guys were really influenced by Joni . They really liked Mingus . I landed in Germany there are loads of mates of mine who I`ve introduced to Joni. Incidentally they`ve taught me how to listen to Love Forever Changes with different ears
My wife and I were newly married living in downtown Portland (when it was still a clean and very hip place). We lived in a two room apartment and were deliriously happy. We played this album a lot and loved the lyrics.
Joni , I’m pretty sure you don’t get to read these comments . . . but I sure wish you would ; the sheer love and admiration folks have for you is deep , is incredible . I’ve been a fan for over 50 years , however , now that I’m almost 84 I feel I can now appreciate the depth , the poignancy , the lovely poetry of your lyrics . The music has always been cutting-edge , but the lyrics ! Joni , always having loved you , I love you even more now than ever . It was delightful to see the recent video of you at Newport . Go, girl ! You still rock ! God bless you , and keep on truckin’. George Lewis, Sr.
Beautiful George. I too have been smitten by Joni for five decades. As a young man, there was no one who "spoke my heart" like she did. In her doing so, I experienced life in a deeper, more meaningful way. And as I evolved and matured, more was revealed in her work - and continues to. So much gratitude. - Paul ❤ BTW, here's a photo I took of her in 1974: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joni_Mitchell#/media/File:Joni_mitchell_1974_(cropped).jpg
George, I've been a fan for a very, very long time. We saw her in her heyday and she's still up there. I still know the words to all her songs. I'll be 75 in February. We had the best music.
@@mariavarecka2618 Maria , we are part of a special sorority/fraternity of lovers of great music from back in the day . As I am , and I’m pretty sure you must also be, we are possessors of fine music that is classic , and delightful and groovy in our memories. How rich ! How uniquely ours !
I just found this record at the record shop. The cover was very worn and looks to be from the 1970’s. I was so thrilled when the record played perfectly. Her music lives on and still resonates. Lovely album and brilliant musician.
I just love how the early releases have gone up in value. She is worth buying every album she ever produced. If you don't have Court and Spark you may have missed the boat.
joni, i'm 14 and i recently just found you a couple of months ago. although i've always known about you, i never listened like i have now. how beautiful your lyrics are, how relatable and emotional are. i love your music so much. truly, it's changed my life in some way. made me feel more free in some way. i know you won't see this, but i just appreciate the music for what it is. this is my favorite album of yours, with california and my old man being my favorite songs .. as of right now! you're amazing and i cannot get enough of this music. thank you for being so unique.
Felt exactly the same way when I was your age, nearly 15 years ago. As works of art that can accompany you and express the additional meanings and nuances that life teaches as you age, you'd be hard pressed to find many that are better.
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.
When I first listened to Blue, I knew beforehand that I was getting myself into a classic. Whenever I read about Joni's career this one was always mentioned as the one that got her reputation and status as a major singer songwriter. Suffice to say, it did not disappoint. Not in the very least. Every song in it is a gem. It was also at the time, one of the most confessional albums ever to be released by a musician. And I really must include Laura Nyro's equally influential New York Tendaberry in this particular cannon. For me, they will always be sister albums in the way they use sparsity in music terms to convey complex emotional states. I also read that this album was borne out of a depressive period of Joni's, hence the album's title. And listening to it, you can clearly identify this in the songs. Feeling anxious for something she cannot attain in "All I Really Want", or lovesick in a relationship she knows it's going to end in "My Old Man" and especially in "A Case of You", getting the most of a good day in the bittersweet "California", or just going through Holly Golightly's "mean reds" in the closing track "The Last Time I Saw Richard". She knows this is only a phase that she has to go through and that's how she closes the album, ever the sage. What she probably didn't know is that we would all be listening to this album some 51 years after its release date and still relate to it. Thank you Joni, for this most precious of gifts.
I first heard this album when I was 18 years old in the basement of my cousin's house in Dun Laoghaire, Ireland, in 1973. We played it over and over again. I was dazzled by the absolute beauty of the songs, the depth of emotion, sadness and humanity. I have listened to it many thousands of times since then. It has never lost its magic.
My wife and I (married 52 years) loved this album back in the 70s. I listened to the whole thing again and I am still in awe of her artistry and spellbinding lyrics. However, I have to say, "California" brought tears of sadness to my eyes. We've lived here nearly our whole lives and shared Joni's exhilaration at being in the Golden State at its apex. Unfortunately, it is no longer the place of dreams and achievements. But, her song helped me relive that wonderous time.
Coming from South FL. I see what you mean it is no longer home and couldn't afford it if I wanted too. But I was blessed to be there in it's prime. Oh Coconut Grove 1970. You never knew who was going to pull out a guitar and start playing. I live on a farm in N. Central, FL now. I have the album in two forms and can't play either until I get them fixed.
Same! Listening and crying right now. Listening to Joni, laughing, smiling, remembering... so cathartic. Happy Birthday to her... and here's to the healing power of music, and tears.
Joni Mitchell is the poetess and minstrel who defined the cultural transformation of the flower children seeking the path of peace and love. I could drink a case of her and still be on my feet. Forever young, eh?
0:00 All I Want I am on a lonely road and I am traveling 혼자서 고독하게 여행을 하고있어 Traveling, traveling, traveling 여행을, 여행을, 여행을 하며 Looking for something, what can it be? 뭔가를 찾고 있는데, 도대체 뭘 찾게 될까? Oh, I hate you some, I hate you some, I love you some 난 널 싫어하기도, 조금은 싫어하기도, 조금은 좋아하기도 Oh, I love you when I forget about me 나 스스로에 대해 잊을때 너를 사랑하게 돼 I want to be strong, I want to laugh along 강해지고 싶어, 널 따라서 웃고싶어 I want to belong to the living 사람들과 어울리고 싶어 Alive, alive, I want to get up and jive 활기차게, 활기차게 일어나 사교 춤을 추며 I want to wreck my stockings in some jukebox dive 음악 속에서 스타킹이 찢겨져도 좋아 Do you want to dance with me, baby? 나랑, 나랑, 나랑 춤을 추지 않을래, 자기?

@@BrianCallahan-dj2nnthe music keeps me sane, I remember the old days Vietnam my brother was there Wow Joni California helped me and I'm from SF CA, tough times. Tough now also. War huh what is it good for absolutely nothing.
It's true... this album feels more like it was written and sung by a like -minded friend than someone I've never met :) I live in a region where 'thinkers' are almost frowned upon, so knowing there are others, makes me feel happy and less alone. This album has SO much Soul :)
Once in a century, if that, an artist such a Joni Mitchell appears . She has a truly great gift - her lyrics go straight to the heart and soul of every one who hears them. Her tunes and her musicianship are peerless. You feel she knows what love for someone really is and the joy and sadness it can bring.
Just absolutely brilliant. How this young woman could write and perform such heartfelt interpretations of the human condition. Joni Mitchell is an amazing artist.
I was about 20, college student, when this album came out. I & all my friends loved it & were devoted fans always. Then in about 1974, in Albuquerque, I saw her perform in a small auditorium. She played all the music, performed much of this album, and if was absolutely glorious. She’s always been my supremely favorite performer.
The first time I saw her was on a new colour tv, very few around at that time, at a friends house with a group of friends. Unexpected. We weren't watching but heard her and all conversation stopped, all eyes turned to the tv and everyone stopped, everything just stopped, and we were mesmerized. Sheer beauty, astounding for us at that moment. A beautiful memory none of us will ever forget.
I only discovered Joni Mitchell a few months ago while zapping through TV stations and accidentally landing on "Both Sides Now: Live At The Isle Of Wight Festival 1970". I became utterly entranced by her songs and fascinated by the fact that this seemingly shy, fragile, young woman managed to keep the crowd in check. My wife got me Blue as a christmas present and I love this hauntingly beautiful album.
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 am 77 and one half and Blue is always on my mind and often on my turntable as is Willie Nelson's best album "Stardust" and Dylan's greatest hits or whatever the title of that one is.
Let's compare..... “We need love but all we want is danger.” vs. "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"
The first time I heard this full album, the line “I’m frightened by the devil, and I’m drawn to those ones that ain’t afraid” from A Case of You made me pause the song and just think for a couple minutes because I was so in awe of the songwriting. It still amazes me.
Yes, I agree with you! I've been amazed by this great artist since I heard her on the radio in the 1960s and listen to her music before I go to sleep at night. Not every morning of mine is a Chelsea morning, but close!
I only discovered her last year. Someone cited her as an example of a voice that autotune would ruin. I've been hooked ever since... The voice... The poetry... One of a kind...
@@TwinOpinion My mom played a couple of her songs from Blue when I was really young, but I only got into the rest of her albums last year as well. And I agree, there’s always been something “different” about her music and lyrics. I think it sounds beautifully old-timey, incredibly modern, and oh-so-70’s all at the same time.
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 discovered this album late, but I was absolutely floored by it and didn't listen to anything else for 2 months. Thanks for creating such beauty from your pain Joni and for sharing it with the world
Thought I knew Joni as just another folk singer with some hit songs, then I listened to this album all the way through and realized the depths of her soul. It reached me in a way no other album could. Superb.
This has to be the very best album ever produced. Every song is sheer perfection. It's fifty-two years since I first heard it and it still sounds as fresh and inspirational as ever
Best of all time! Her music helped get me through my teens and twenties- then introduced my children to Joni’s music and still listening to her in my late sixties. Such a gift to hear her singing at the Newport festival- and who told me? My thirtyish daughter who cried like I did hearing her sing in her deep voice her inspirational and beautiful songs.
Well said sister . I`m a 60 year old Glaswegian man who`s writing from Germany . I hope my wee daughter listens to Joni someday . I will try like hell to influence her . But she thinks I`m an eejit .
Joni, you were my wife Daun's favorite! Everyday, getting ready for Dialysis we played this album to calm her nerves. Thankyou Dear Joni!! I hope one day you two can meet face to face in Heaven..miss her Beautiful Soul🌿🕊️✝️

Finally
This is one of those albums that should be beamed into space in hopes that alien lifeforms, light years away, might hear and realize there really is intelligent life and great beauty on this tiny blue marble after all.
It's the only reason they haven't smote us yet.
Agreed. After 45 years of listening, she is still the best to my ears and heart.
that`s a lovely comment . i dearly hope a lot of us are still trying to hold on to each other. lotsa lurve sister.
@@rimbleskinflint3447 A metamorphisis happened while listening to JM in h.s. Hope that is true for you and othere as well.
" We don't need no piece of paper from the city hall keeping us tied and true." Joni knew her relevance in the world. Always willing to share her gifts and insight.

I’m only 21 but this album is one of my absolute favourites…. Her music is timeless and ethereal 🫶🏽✨
Love to see young listeners! Please keep her art front and center after those of us who are dinosaurs kick it.
I'm 24 and same. Started listening to her back in 2020.✨🥺
You should buy her album if you don’t like the ads on here.
You young'uns got good taste!
Wow, you seem to be an oldschool kind of girl. Rare at your age nowadays. Just amazing, hold onto that because that's where true artisty and quality keeps living on.
She has the most perfect voice. I had this album on constant repeat when I was in college in 1971.
Me. too, Bouldet
i'm a huge fan of her compositions - also love norah jones for her voice
Perfect voice yes, and perfectly unique. You know in an instant who's singing -- as if she's reaching out to you alone, straight to the heart.
Without doubt, one of THE best albums ever made.
I found this album in 1985 in a deep discount bin at a used record store. I was more of a headbanger/punk fan, but I'd always heard it was a good album and for 2 bucks I wouldn't be out much if I picked it up. I can still remember that first listen through like it was yesterday, it was incredible. Still listen to it regularly today and still in awe of the songwriting.
THIS is religion to me, such beauty and pain and truth- it has gotten me there and back and back THERE again : Heaven on earth... Thank you Mamma Joni (Hearts)
One of the very best albums ever. She was a huge influence on me when I was living as a ski bum in Sun Valley in the 70's. Such a magic time, partly due to her music and the music of other special people like Crosby, Stills, and Nash, Seals and Croft, and others.
Only "After the Gold Rush", Stardust (Willie Nelson), and Roland Kirk's Inflated Ear, Coltrane's Love Supreme, and a few precious other albums hit me this hard (maybe the Beatles Abbey Road and the Who's Next too.
Oh Joni, you woke me up in the morning & sang me to sleep at night. Thank you for all those woman's words.
I have probably listened to this album 100 times in the last 100 days, and I still can't get enough. Truly the definition of a desert island album.
If you'd want to be sad on the island.
I missed this wonderful music the first time around. Thanks be that I can enjoy it now, 50 years later.
Her magnificence sheers thru her lyrics and accompaniments, on “Blue”💕
Such a beautiful voice, for one, and such a creative way to express lyrics, musically. Plus, Joni Mitchell's songs are TIMELESS. Generations who have not grown up with real song writing and musicianship like this, are missing out on a soul level......
I first saw Joni Mitchell back in 1969. Even back then, I thought she looked out of place. Her music was ahead of her time, and I believed she knew it. In my day, she did not have a large following but a small devoted few. I saw her again at the Isle of Wight concert in 1970. And again, she looked small, but her wings were beautiful. She reminds me of what Goethe said a long time ago: "Everything that is great promotes cultivation as soon as we are aware of it."
Nicely put.
This world needs to hear this ☀
Joni, You are the songstress who inspired me to be who I am! Thank you, and big hugs~~Love and Respect, Mamak
Joni is the first female vocalist that made me feel what a singing BIRD, floating along a warm breeze, might sound like. First heard this in 1980...Lifts your soul
yes! dances with it . . .
Excellent album! 👍
I was someone's old man once... I miss her every day
Thank You, Joni 🕊 I listen to this album when I want to feel so blue it hurts, so happy I cry . . .
For the first time, we see LADIES OF THE CANYON foreshadow Joni's following album. And then again, this one foretells the coming of FOR THE ROSES so well, too. I tend to lump LADIES as the 3rd of her First Gen music, and BLUE to be start of her 2nd Gen songs.

My words here will utterly fail to convey the sincere love and admiration I have for this album. It's a love I've carried for a long time now. Blue is perhaps without peer - save for Heijira IMHO - and its perfection takes nothing away from it being the most personal of albums: something that stays under your skin as an intimate connection between just you the listener and Joni.
Thanks so much for sharing. A treasure ~
1 Joni Mitchell ... Steely Dan, Michael Franks, Pat Metheny Group and Kenny Rankin my all time favourites 😉
as a songwriter the longer i write, the more amazed and impressed by joni am. how does she make those melodies work?
The best rock album of all time
losing chaka and wayne has to hurt but you are a survivor joni
I'm ready for this now.
She's in our souls.
For the Rose's one of my favorite but this is close second. I love all her albums actually.. we share a birthdate. I am also a songwriter/ musician. Shared her engineer Henry Lewy who tried to introduce us when I was recording at Skylight Studios in Topangnga. But alas she wasn't home.....sigh. oh well.😎🏜❤🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🌈🌈🌈
i remember this like a soft voice coming from the kitchen siging under her voice
Люблю. Вас очень давно .Здоровья для творчества ....!!!!
This comments section…finally, a wholesome slice of the internet.
I think Joni's music fans might look to phraseology and polyrhythm. Every 4 bars becomes a new song in her guitar work and her voice to contra- point (Jaco) is an extension of herself. A beautiful crafter of personal stories without resort to anecdotes .
I sadly left California because it no longer seemed the way it was when I fell in love with the state…
Just wanna say, if your advertisement interrupts this...I'm never buying your product❤
In the top 3 of my top 10 albums of all time. Compare it to Homer's Odyssey, and see it as a modern epic of finding our way home.
We don't need no paper from the city hall to keep us tried and true......a great lady!!!!
Dont expect everything for free! Ive bought this album twice once on vinyl (in 1975) and also on CD. So its convenient on You Tube, but hey adverts pay wages!!!
Joni strong
Rave on
Thanks Joni for releasing these albums on RUclips. What an incredible gift!!🌹
Hello dear,how are you doing,how is the weather treating you?
Especially this one, am I not wrong Cynthia?
Yes she's a legend
Could a mother do more? May her children go on to live through many generations to come. Her purest gifts. Thank you.
I bought this album in 1971 in Detroit; I'm listening to it tonight in Granada, Spain at the age of 75. The album retains it's pure molecular weight, timeless power, and beauty - like a gyroscope, like a comet, like flamenco cante jondo. I give thanks for a lot of things; and one of them is that I lived in the age of Joni Mitchell, and got to see her perform live.
What a place for such an album! I got the picture😊
Wow Granada, my mum is from Barcelona, I love 💕 Joni.
What a beautiful great artist talented woman no one can compare ❤
Thanks 👍 I'm still trucking after all these years, doing cat rescue etc. Move slower however my dancer legs look good for 69yrs LoL 😂
1970 for me 74 on a trip from Miami to visit Chicago. I read once her octave range is huge. I was in art school in Sarasota 1978 and met Carey (mine) under the pool table light and my friend said Marilyn (Monroe) meet Carey (Grant) he swept me in his arms in a deep dip. We stayed friends, he was an underwater welder for oil rigs. Only astronauts pay more for life insurance. Lost track of him while I was in Germany. mid 80's.
I like what David Crosby said about Joni Mitchell in an interview one time.
"Yeah, there was some magic happening there."
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.
too deep. 😳
So glad to hear you are reunited with your daughter. I'm sure your decision was motivated by your love for her.
Incredible story. Thank you for sharing!
I too was about 20 when I first heard this album. Why do they say that this about her baby was some kind of secret till the 1990s? All I remember is that I and my friends at the time all knew exactly what Little Green was about. Do I remember wrong? I guess not, since Linda had this experience. Thanks for telling about it.
🎶🤔💞
A Case of You remains one of the most beautifully crafted songs I know. Heartbreaking and full of inspiration all at once.
Love a case of you.
One of the first Joni albums I bought was the double live _"Miles of Aisles"._ The live version of _"A Case of You"_ and _"The Last Time I Saw Richard"_ and the other songs from _"Blue"_ on that album affected me profoundly.
In a really, very, very good way!
{:o:O:}
16 years old, lying on my bedroom floor with my headphones on and living in Joni's life for awhile - long, long ago, and again now
I wish you an happy travel in Joni's poetry ❤
I am 75 now and this brings me back to the mid-seventies. It brings back memories...good ones.
I`m only 60 brother . I`ts great to read the comments from music lovers , I was playing in a band in Glasgow and a couple of the guys were really influenced by Joni . They really liked Mingus . I landed in Germany there are loads of mates of mine who I`ve introduced to Joni. Incidentally they`ve taught me how to listen to Love Forever Changes with different ears
Where *do* the years go?
My wife and I were newly married living in downtown Portland (when it was still a clean and very hip place). We lived in a two room apartment and were deliriously happy. We played this album a lot and loved the lyrics.
I'm 72 and her music is so sweet
I'm with you babe.🌻🌺
Joni , I’m pretty sure you don’t get to read these comments . . . but I sure wish you would ; the sheer love and admiration folks have for you is deep , is incredible . I’ve been a fan for over 50 years , however , now that I’m almost 84 I feel I can now appreciate the depth , the poignancy , the lovely poetry of your lyrics . The music has always been cutting-edge , but the lyrics ! Joni , always having loved you , I love you even more now than ever .
It was delightful to see the recent video of you at Newport . Go, girl ! You still rock ! God bless you , and keep on truckin’. George Lewis, Sr.
Lovely, George! I hope she sees it - or at least feels it.
Well said brother
Beautiful George. I too have been smitten by Joni for five decades. As a young man, there was no one who "spoke my heart" like she did. In her doing so, I experienced life in a deeper, more meaningful way. And as I evolved and matured, more was revealed in her work - and continues to. So much gratitude. - Paul ❤ BTW, here's a photo I took of her in 1974: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joni_Mitchell#/media/File:Joni_mitchell_1974_(cropped).jpg
George, I've been a fan for a very, very long time. We saw her in her heyday and she's still up there. I still know the words to all her songs. I'll be 75 in February. We had the best music.
@@mariavarecka2618 Maria , we are part of a special sorority/fraternity of lovers of great music from back in the day . As I am , and I’m pretty sure you must also be, we are possessors of fine music that is classic , and delightful and groovy in our memories. How rich ! How uniquely ours !
This music never ages, never goes “out of fashion,” as fresh, original and artistically excellent as the day it was released.
The music never ages, though it certainly can make the listener feel her age. She’s one of the greatest. ❤
Great music is timeless
Literally the worst singer this world has ever had to endure
@@kaulanaberg7605 and yet you're here.
@@kaulanaberg7605 you're definitely in the minority with that opinion. This is widely considered one of the very best albums of all time.
I just found this record at the record shop. The cover was very worn and looks to be from the 1970’s. I was so thrilled when the record played perfectly. Her music lives on and still resonates. Lovely album and brilliant musician.
With examples like this to follow, how did popular music get to the state it's in now?
I just love how the early releases have gone up in value. She is worth buying every album she ever produced. If you don't have Court and Spark you may have missed the boat.
@@dewhittjamesI have that one as well!
This came out when I was 16 - I listened to it over and over - it was my safety net that got me through high school
Yes, I was 16 as well. It got me through my parents' divorce and life's confusion.
Me too! Same!
I found this album when I was 17 and it's precious to me for the same exact reason c:
Unfair that you guys got albums like this when you were my age - i’m 17 and i adore joni mitchell
@@Lili-v4c6n you have good taste 😍
joni, i'm 14 and i recently just found you a couple of months ago. although i've always known about you, i never listened like i have now. how beautiful your lyrics are, how relatable and emotional are. i love your music so much. truly, it's changed my life in some way. made me feel more free in some way. i know you won't see this, but i just appreciate the music for what it is. this is my favorite album of yours, with california and my old man being my favorite songs .. as of right now! you're amazing and i cannot get enough of this music. thank you for being so unique.
Felt exactly the same way when I was your age, nearly 15 years ago. As works of art that can accompany you and express the additional meanings and nuances that life teaches as you age, you'd be hard pressed to find many that are better.
oh my gosh sameeee! we’re in the exact same situation xx
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.
@@calebmurdock2028 I may or may not be jealous lmao that’s so so cool :)
Please check out Coyote and Big Yellow Taxi by Joni M. They're all amazing. ❤
In my humble opinion...this is one of the best albums ever, belongs to the group of the ten best of All Time. A masterpiece by young Joni Mitchell !
1000% !
You know an album is amazing when people can pull almost any line from any song and get it tattooed
I found her again at 68. Her voice followed me through my hippy days of the 70's. A voice that cannot be replicated. A gift.
When I first listened to Blue, I knew beforehand that I was getting myself into a classic. Whenever I read about Joni's career this one was always mentioned as the one that got her reputation and status as a major singer songwriter. Suffice to say, it did not disappoint. Not in the very least. Every song in it is a gem. It was also at the time, one of the most confessional albums ever to be released by a musician. And I really must include Laura Nyro's equally influential New York Tendaberry in this particular cannon. For me, they will always be sister albums in the way they use sparsity in music terms to convey complex emotional states. I also read that this album was borne out of a depressive period of Joni's, hence the album's title. And listening to it, you can clearly identify this in the songs. Feeling anxious for something she cannot attain in "All I Really Want", or lovesick in a relationship she knows it's going to end in "My Old Man" and especially in "A Case of You", getting the most of a good day in the bittersweet "California", or just going through Holly Golightly's "mean reds" in the closing track "The Last Time I Saw Richard". She knows this is only a phase that she has to go through and that's how she closes the album, ever the sage. What she probably didn't know is that we would all be listening to this album some 51 years after its release date and still relate to it. Thank you Joni, for this most precious of gifts.
Yes, let's not forget Laura Nyro. Definately!
Yes I own two of Laura's albums who tragically died at a young age I think. Another fine songwriter/singer.
I , too, adored Laura Nyro’s work as well as Joni.
I first heard this album when I was 18 years old in the basement of my cousin's house in Dun Laoghaire, Ireland, in 1973. We played it over and over again. I was dazzled by the absolute beauty of the songs, the depth of emotion, sadness and humanity. I have listened to it many thousands of times since then. It has never lost its magic.
Such an evocative reply!
My wife and I (married 52 years) loved this album back in the 70s. I listened to the whole thing again and I am still in awe of her artistry and spellbinding lyrics. However, I have to say, "California" brought tears of sadness to my eyes. We've lived here nearly our whole lives and shared Joni's exhilaration at being in the Golden State at its apex. Unfortunately, it is no longer the place of dreams and achievements. But, her song helped me relive that wonderous time.
Coming from South FL. I see what you mean it is no longer home and couldn't afford it if I wanted too. But I was blessed to be there in it's prime. Oh Coconut Grove 1970. You never knew who was going to pull out a guitar and start playing. I live on a farm in N. Central, FL now. I have the album in two forms and can't play either until I get them fixed.
You can say that again. I can’t wait to leave SoCal!
I hadn’t been able to cry for months… all it took was listening to Joni. The most beautiful voice and words ever.
Same! Listening and crying right now. Listening to Joni, laughing, smiling, remembering... so cathartic. Happy Birthday to her... and here's to the healing power of music, and tears.
The simple truth!
Joni Mitchell is the poetess and minstrel who defined the cultural transformation of the flower children seeking the path of peace and love. I could drink a case of her and still be on my feet. Forever young, eh?
This album cemented Joni as one of the GREATS, and she was only starting a brilliant career that inspired millions; I love her.
This gives me shivers
Joni Mitchell exists in a different plane... she is incredible and I feel so lucky to live in a time where I can experience her music
ABSOLUTELY.!! 👍🏾

I am on a lonely road and I am traveling
혼자서 고독하게 여행을 하고있어
Traveling, traveling, traveling
여행을, 여행을, 여행을 하며
Looking for something, what can it be?
뭔가를 찾고 있는데, 도대체 뭘 찾게 될까?
Oh, I hate you some, I hate you some, I love you some
난 널 싫어하기도, 조금은 싫어하기도, 조금은 좋아하기도
Oh, I love you when I forget about me
나 스스로에 대해 잊을때 너를 사랑하게 돼
I want to be strong, I want to laugh along
강해지고 싶어, 널 따라서 웃고싶어
I want to belong to the living
사람들과 어울리고 싶어
Alive, alive, I want to get up and jive
활기차게, 활기차게 일어나 사교 춤을 추며
I want to wreck my stockings in some jukebox dive
음악 속에서 스타킹이 찢겨져도 좋아
Do you want to dance with me, baby?
나랑, 나랑, 나랑 춤을 추지 않을래, 자기?
Do you want to take a chance
이 기회를 잡아서
On maybe finding some sweet romance with me, baby?
그래서 나랑 뭔가 달콤한 연애를 해볼래, 자기?
Well, come on
자, 빨리
All I really, really want our love to do Is to bring out the best in me and in you too
내가 정말, 정말 우리 사랑에서 바라는 건 너와 나의 관계에서 정말 최선을 다 하는거야
All I really, really want our love to do Is to bring out the best in me and in you
내가 정말, 정말 우리 사랑에서 바라는 건 너와 나의 관계에서 정말 최선을 다 하는거야
I want to talk to you, I want to shampoo you
너와 대화를 하고, 너를 단장해주고,
I want to renew you again and again
너를 새롭게 만들고 또 만들고 싶어
Applause, applause, life is our cause
우리는 박수 때문이 아닌, 진심으로 살아가고
When I think of your kisses, my mind see-saws
너의 키스를 생각할때면, 내 마음은 오락가락해
Do you see, do you see, do you see how you hurt me, baby?
넌 아니, 넌 아니, 넌 나에게 상처를 준것을 아니, 자기?
So I hurt you too
그래서 나도 너에게 상처를 주면
Then we both get so blue
우리는 똑같이 우울해질텐데 말야
I am on a lonely road and I am traveling
혼자서 고독하게 여행을 하고있어
Looking for the key to set me free
날 풀어버려줄 열쇠를 찾아서
Oh, the jealousy, the greed is the unraveling
아, 풀려버린건 질투, 탐욕이었네
It's the unraveling
그게 풀린거였어
And it undoes all the joy that could be
그리고 즐거울 수 있던 것들을 다 가져가버렸네
I want to have fun, I want to shine like the sun
난 즐거움을 느끼고 싶어, 태양처럼 빛나고 싶어
Want to be the one that you want to see
네가 보고 싶어 하는 것이 되고 싶어
I want to knit you a sweater
너에게 스웨터를 짜주고 싶고
Want to write you a love letter
너에게 러브레터를 써주고싶고
I want to make you feel better
너의 기분을 낫게 만들고싶고
I want to make you feel free
널 자유롭게 만들어주고싶어

Thanks legend!
Many thanks!
One of the best albums..ever in a hundred years her voice will still sting and cause us to cry out for the beauty and Pain.
I'm only 19 but I adore this album so much, shame newer generations are unlikely to hear this due to it not being on streaming platforms
I''m 27 but found this album around 19, it's timeless really, if you can cry you can enjoy this
Spread it to everyone you can, its the good news
I'm 20, This is one of my favourite albums
Same, I'm 18 and I have this on repeat
Glad to see fellow Gen Zs appreciating Joni
In todays unrest and hate , we must go back to the music of the 60s and the 70s. Liten, absorb the lessons, and change the way we look at each other.
Wouldn't that be Beautiful 🌺🌻
AMEN
@@BrianCallahan-dj2nnthe music keeps me sane, I remember the old days Vietnam my brother was there Wow Joni California helped me and I'm from SF CA, tough times. Tough now also. War huh what is it good for absolutely nothing.
Totally agree
@@luisgallia6705 sane here, back then we were all about peace, no matter what color etc.
Love to you Joni and thanks from the millions of "lost and lonely ones" for your fabulous music over all these years! God Bless you.
It's true... this album feels more like it was written and sung by a like -minded friend than someone I've never met :) I live in a region where 'thinkers' are almost frowned upon, so knowing there are others, makes me feel happy and less alone. This album has SO much Soul :)
"River". It just says it all. My favorite song for 50+ years. Thanks Joni.
This has to be a contender for that rarified thing: the perfect album. Simply sublime...
Once in a century, if that, an artist such a Joni Mitchell appears . She has a truly great gift - her lyrics go straight to the heart and soul of every one who hears them. Her tunes and her musicianship are peerless. You feel she knows what love for someone really is and the joy and sadness it can bring.
She wrote several tunes about Graham Nash, one of her favorite dudes who also wrote great songs (Teach your Children) well" and many others.
Just absolutely brilliant. How this young woman could write and perform such heartfelt interpretations of the human condition. Joni Mitchell is an amazing artist.
I was about 20, college student, when this album came out. I & all my friends loved it & were devoted fans always. Then in about 1974, in Albuquerque, I saw her perform in a small auditorium. She played all the music, performed much of this album, and if was absolutely glorious. She’s always been my supremely favorite performer.
One of the best albums of music ever produced. Period. Thank you, Joni!❤
The first time I saw her was on a new colour tv, very few around at that time, at a friends house with a group of friends. Unexpected. We weren't watching but heard her and all conversation stopped, all eyes turned to the tv and everyone stopped, everything just stopped, and we were mesmerized. Sheer beauty, astounding for us at that moment. A beautiful memory none of us will ever forget.
I've never been this fast to comment in a video. The GOAT Album and its a shame that youngsters wont discover you in Spotify.
Or the importance of album listening entirely.
Yes i discovered her through Spotify before the albums were taken down :'(
Yeah sure beats Taylor Swift
What do you mean by "the GOAT album"?
@@barbararenton8009 GOAT stands for Greatest Of All Time
Perfectly shows how to cut up her listeners into 10 tiny pieces, destroy their souls, and then leave them loving her for it. God love you, Joni.
Transcends genres. I listen to Beethoven, Portishead, Bach, Bob Dylan, Radiohead, etc. One of the first albums I bought. Lady is LEGEND!!
Joni is a musical genius! And i love every unique song. I wonder if she has any idea how creative and brillant she is always!
You have great taste for music fellow
Tool
I only discovered Joni Mitchell a few months ago while zapping through TV stations and accidentally landing on "Both Sides Now: Live At The Isle Of Wight Festival 1970". I became utterly entranced by her songs and fascinated by the fact that this seemingly shy, fragile, young woman managed to keep the crowd in check. My wife got me Blue as a christmas present and I love this hauntingly beautiful album.
Blue is uniquely special. It was, for many, their intro to Joni and, wow, there's never been an equal.
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 am 77 and one half and Blue is always on my mind and often on my turntable as is Willie Nelson's best album "Stardust" and Dylan's greatest hits or whatever the title of that one is.
Let's compare..... “We need love but all we want is danger.” vs. "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"
My heart. My medicine. All these years.
You convey so much, in so few (7) words!
Such a shame I cannont listen to this on Spotify anymore :( It was one of my favorite albums on the app
The first time I heard this full album, the line “I’m frightened by the devil, and I’m drawn to those ones that ain’t afraid” from A Case of You made me pause the song and just think for a couple minutes because I was so in awe of the songwriting. It still amazes me.
Yes, I agree with you! I've been amazed by this great artist since I heard her on the radio in the 1960s and listen to her music before I go to sleep at night. Not every morning of mine is a Chelsea morning, but close!
At 65 year old I'm falling and in love we this quintessential artist, all of over again. 💋♥️🥰
I only discovered her last year. Someone cited her as an example of a voice that autotune would ruin. I've been hooked ever since... The voice... The poetry... One of a kind...
@@TwinOpinion My mom played a couple of her songs from Blue when I was really young, but I only got into the rest of her albums last year as well. And I agree, there’s always been something “different” about her music and lyrics. I think it sounds beautifully old-timey, incredibly modern, and oh-so-70’s all at the same time.
"You're sad and your sorry, but you're not ashamed." What an amazing line.
One of the finest albums to Grace our ears. Thank you one of a kind Queen 👑
I was lucky to see her live in Ireland when I was sixteen. Forty years later I still love her music! She is a true artist!
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 discovered this album late, but I was absolutely floored by it and didn't listen to anything else for 2 months. Thanks for creating such beauty from your pain Joni and for sharing it with the world
Thought I knew Joni as just another folk singer with some hit songs, then I listened to this album all the way through and realized the depths of her soul. It reached me in a way no other album could. Superb.
How lovely to read these comments and learn how much Joni Mitchell's brilliance, artistry and poetry have inspired sooo many people.
I never realized Joni was just an incredible pianist, wow. River is such an amazing and powerful song.
Most sincere and heartfelt album ever made. The title track is essentially her heart turned into music.
This has to be the very best album ever produced. Every song is sheer perfection. It's fifty-two years since I first heard it and it still sounds as fresh and inspirational as ever
A Case of You, one of the greatest songs 💞
Down to you , is genius so many different ways to interpret the same words depending on your mood
Yes, Case of you got me started on a lifetime of loving Joni. Saw her 3 times in concert. Lucky me.
Proud to say we named our newly born daughter Joni ❤
But...Can she sing?
Joni Mitchell should have been awarded a Nobel-Prize a long time ago.
For what? Literature? Like Bob Dylan?
Best of all time! Her music helped get me through my teens and twenties- then introduced my children to Joni’s music and still listening to her in my late sixties. Such a gift to hear her singing at the Newport festival- and who told me? My thirtyish daughter who cried like I did hearing her sing in her deep voice her inspirational and beautiful songs.
When did you get to go see her? I wish she would come to Alaska!
Well said sister . I`m a 60 year old Glaswegian man who`s writing from Germany . I hope my wee daughter listens to Joni someday . I will try like hell to influence her . But she thinks I`m an eejit .
a whole life marked in Joni. Amazing!
Joni, you were my wife Daun's favorite!
Everyday, getting ready for Dialysis we played this album to calm her nerves.
Thankyou Dear Joni!! I hope one day you two can meet face to face in Heaven..miss her Beautiful Soul🌿🕊️✝️
