Iridescent and shining interpretation. Her humility is so endearing and yet she’s simultaneously confident. Her voice brings the lyrics to life. The expressions in each note is beautiful, sometimes it’s an exact replication, other times a slight inflection that is so soulful. There’s an honesty and sincerity that is so convincing. She lovingly expresses the emotion in the searing lyrics. It scorches my heart.
There was a time I had to send my son off to live with his uncle. We stood in a parking lot facing our futures apart after our life together. He said to me look up at the sky and I will too thinking of you. He was high school age. A pure joy to my life. I thought his uncle would be a good influence and he could find his artistic way in the cultural mecca of Philadelphia. His uncle had a large house. Would be a good mentor since he was a businessman accountant. It didn't turn out as I expected. This song echoes what is in my heart.
this song is already so beautiful with the way joni sings it, but this cover tops the original for me. the instrumental orchestration is so haunting. it sounds like longing. like yearning. the violin is insane, especially near the end, and at the end of the song. brandi's voice is so beautiful, too, and is perfect for this song. the runs she does! incredible. she captures the essence of the song exactly. she sounds like she's telling a story with the way she sings it, and where she places the words in each verse. i especially loved the part of this cover where she adds the "goodbye...goodbye." it adds the best extra feeling of emotion to it. i haven't heard it since it first came out, and listening to it again feels like i'm hearing it for the first time. absolute freaking perfection. amazing, amazing job brandi.
Just feel down the rabbit hole finally discovering Joni Mitchell's music after I'd heard about her for years. What I'm finding is that she's one of the best songwriters of a generation. Her lyrics put words to emotions like few others I have heard. And I've always been a fan on Brandi. Her voice is perfect for a lot of Joni's work, and this performance of this particular song devastating in the very best way.
Not enough words to express how amazing Brandi is ...
Not nearly enough...
Her voice is stunning
I love how she smiles while she sings. She is absolutely beautiful in song. I'm sure her parents must be so super proud of her.
Her voice is so well suited for Joni Mitchell songs. Just beautiful.
Brandi is amazing!!!!! She has such an pure spirit and her voice is perfection.

This is how to deliver a song. The camera visual aspects beautiful.
@@barbarabrennan1753 thanks for sharing. Keeping it real like Brandi
Fucking mic drop. Thank you for summing-up how I feel. ❤️🤙🏼
Goosebumps every single time.
Amazing how music can evoke feelings and emotions 😢
This is terrible to say but I like her version better than even Joni's - this is fantastic.

Beautifully done!
why isnt she on radio
Radio stations don’t play good music these days…
@@landrareece6586 Radio stations dont even play the full song anymore they used to 20-30years ago
Exactly Like Peter Gabriel & Mark knopfler ( check him out)
Agreed Radio is corporate now Way Worse in Canada 🇨🇦

She is wonderful and does a beautiful job here but…go listen to the original. No one comes close.
Agreed. My personal taste is most partial to Indigo Girls’ 1200 Curfews version.
why did she change the lyric from i wish i had a river so' long' to i wish i had a river so 'wide' d'Oh, song completely lost its meaning❣️
James Taylor did the same thing in a tribute to Mitchell. Yeah, it's weird.
Yea I noticed That too
I noticed that too. 🤔
Who really cares?!
That’s your one observation from what you just heard??
@@timothyleon558 i think U know who cares timmy❣
