You are a sweetheart, young lady! Your observations of who Joni is seem to be right on. She is an idealist who loves her life of creating and performing her music, which she does in a beautifully inviting and unique way. I’m glad you were moved by the many talents she displays in her writing and performing.
Just love Joni Mitchell her lyrics and naturel musicality, when I am work her song River has been playing a lot lately,, a sad Christmas song but so beautiful about her failed relationship with Graham Nash (I believe) So many beautiful songs, many sad.
Love how much she packs into each lyric. We were sitiing there talking or lying and not ttalking. Didn't it feel good. Or help me I think we're falling in love too fast. It's got me thinking about the future and worrying about the past. Cause I've seen some hot hot blazes come down to smoke and ash.
Joni is one of the greatest singer songwriters of her era. I had the luck to see her three times. She was hypnotic. Most will recommend A Case of You, Blue, River, The Circle Game, so I will recommend All I Want, The Same Situation, Black Crow, & Be Cool (studio recordings). After that, if you ever get the chance, check out Sex Kills (live on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno). You can see the unique way that she strums and picks her guitar and the sound that she gets out of it that is unique to her. She was named one of the top 100 guitarists by Rolling Stone Magazine in recognition of her musicianship. A couple of years ago, she was found in her home unconscious. Since then, she's had to fight to walk and talk again. She's come a long way and is still recovering but more recently has been seen attending a music event here or there. All of us, who have been profoundly affected by her willingness and bravery to put herself (and sometimes all of us) on the line in her lyrics are holding our breaths for her health. When she passes, it will be the end of an era....Please continue on your Joni Journey!
Joni wrote this song for Graham Nash of Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young. That was him in photos. Later Graham wrote "Our House" which C.S.N. &Y. recorded which was about Joni's and Graham's house when they moved in together. Joni wrote "Coyote" about Sam Shepherd, actor, director, producer when she toured with Bob Dylan in 75. Sam was trying to Hit on her. 🤔😎🤗
Hi I think she was worried she would love and be let down by the lover saying he’s got the gift of the gab and a chancer thinking if he gets in to deep he will do a runner lol that’s my make of it but what do I know lol first time hearing this for me nice tune 👍
To lay it down at the end of the day Joni really loved her freedom to be on the road and to travel into play amazing gigs. Cannot be tied down. She is 78 years old now worth 50 million dollars. Which is a little bit of money compared to how some of these singers make money now! So for a singer from the 60s she's doing really good. But the road was the thing for her
She came along playing in small book clubs in New York and other places. So that never left her. And you can see that she's riding as if she's sitting in a club, A Folk club with a cup of coffee writing lyrics. This is the most incredible singer songwriter of all time. There will never be another one who can do what she does.
"With a hat on!". Joni Mitchell's "Help Me" can definitely take me to places I want to be. Have you ever listened "Poetry Man" by Phoebe Snow? That's another great song that transports me to her dimension. Phoebe is gone, but not forgotten.
Joni Mitchell is one of the three GREATEST song writers of 60’s and 70’s the other two are Carol King and Joan Baez. She brought so many musicians together including Crosby, Stills, and Nash! Amazing woman.
CeCe ... i know you don't react to Country music however i wanted to pass along that black Country music legend Charley Pride had just passed away from COVID (86 years old). He's the first black musician ever inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame and had a Huge hit back in 1971 titled .. Kiss An Angel Good Morning.
I think she is writing about all of the things you are describing and everything your mate out of camera is describing. She is describing what falling in love is about. It's about falling.
Here's Joni from the same album, track is "Peoples Parties". As she often does she plays all the guitar parts and does all the vocals as well. Look up the lyrics too, they're dead on: th-cam.com/video/0JsVcxopKTE/w-d-xo.html
This song - and Joni in general - was a favorite of Prince. He quotes it in Ballad of Dorothy Parker (“It was Joni singing ‘Help me I’m falling...”) and covered her song A Case of You frequently in his later concerts. And he rarely covered other artists - so that shows you how influential she is. She’s phenomenal.
She is certainly talented at putting her feelings to music. Her guitar playing was unique to her because polio early in life had made her left hand weak so she used different tunings and chords to compensate. Her definition of love is, "if I feel good in someone's company and want to be around them, I call that love". Personally, I think this song was about David Crosby, but she had so many men in and out of her life it's hard to be sure. Thanks for the walk down memory lane with Joni Mitchell. She is famous for putting her life to music and exposing herself to the world. Speaking of which, about a month ago I asked Roseanne Barr what her swan song would be. She said, God's Song by Randy Newman. Well, I've still not been able to decide what the song means or what she might be thinking when she hears it. It's a puzzle that's been bothering me. If you need a headache, I'd like to hear your opinion on it.
@@CC2Cents_ I look forward to it, but no pressure because you may just end up dumbfounded like me. There is a little irony to why I ask her that question. It is a common myth the swan, which isn't known to sing during its life, will sing a beautiful song just before dying. I had joked to Roseanne about her infamous singing of the national anthem at a football game and it ended up with that question. Being who she is, maybe she is just playing with my mind.
Joni had a torrid affair with Graham Nash of Crosby Stills and Nash. She had so many lovers that were smitten by her. A unique artist and woman..........
The album from which this song comes is Court & Spark, and shows Joni moving from folk music to jazz/rock. Not a bad song on the disc, yet I like 2 other albums even more... Blue from her folk era and Hejira which emphasis jazz. She's THE best IMO!
Hi again,@@Liz-ic6jb! Since I'm an "official" Joni fan-man, here's an ex from each, both recorded live: from Blue, th-cam.com/video/4fvxx8cIdn4/w-d-xo.html and, from Hejira, th-cam.com/video/f7MbmXklj3Q/w-d-xo.html Love you guys
I don't think it's about falling in love with the same person again. I think it's that she knows she's falling in love with someone whose reputation suggests she might get hurt. She has seen previous relationships come crashing down (whether hers or others is not specified). She also recognises the tension between wanting a relationship and wanting freedom and they both feel that way. She's fearful that it won't end well.
My first visit to your channel Cece, and enjoyed your reaction. My question: do you always hide the person you're speaking to off-camera? If you're having an in-depth dialogue with some guy, I'm surprised we never get to see who it is. Or am I the only one who finds it odd?
He is looking at you and listening to your review of the song while wearing those earrings , yet You keep asking over and over “what are you looking at? “. 🤔😆
But did u LIKE or ENJOY the song?? From watching u react, it doesn’t seemed to have touched u or moved u in any way. More like something u had to endure n “figure out” like u were given a school assignment. Doesn’t seemed to hv reached u. 🙁
More Joni!

Folksinger with jazz-qualities. That voice
Love me some Joni! My girl!💖💖💖💖💖 She had a great band too. Tom Scott and the LA express!
Just love Joni Mitchell her lyrics and naturel musicality, when I am work her song River has been playing a lot lately,, a sad Christmas song but so beautiful about her failed relationship with Graham Nash (I believe) So many beautiful songs, many sad.
I enjoyed so much!! "With a hat in a window....." Lovely people with lovely commentary!
Thank you kindly!
Love how much she packs into each lyric. We were sitiing there talking or lying and not ttalking. Didn't it feel good. Or help me I think we're falling in love too fast. It's got me thinking about the future and worrying about the past. Cause I've seen some hot hot blazes come down to smoke and ash.
In my opinion, her lyrics seems like an excerpt from her journal.
@@CC2Cents_ never thought of it like that, but now I will. Thanks
Thank you for your reaction.
You're welcome.

Thanks for sharing and thanks a bunch for the request.
Joni Mitchell is one of the greatest singer-songwriters ever.
I second that!!!
Wow a beautiful women listening and the other performing makes me feel like I'm back in the 70s an incredible decade it truly was video
I really enjoyed this song! Thanks for the compliment ☺
My perfect time out song. Love the ear rings and hair.
Thanks so much!
That song was Joni was doing post-hippie almost disco song, but about LOVE in general from her experience and the crowd she hung out with. Free love.
Thank you for sharing. ✌🏿
Oh Joni Mitchell is that ish!
Joni is Canada's gift to the world.
You're welcome.
She has really nice songs.

Free Man in Paris! She wrote it for David Geffen, while they were in Paris, right after he sold Shelter Records. She’s Canadian! Loved this!❣️
Thank you.

Our first as well. Thanks for your comment.
Joni Mitchell never lied...
Don't it always seem to go
that you don't know what you've got til it's gone🎶
What a great discussion about this song.
This song is incredible in music and lyrics.A brilliant work in popular music.There is a lot in this song.
I really enjoyed this song for sure! Thanks for sharing.
Moving on.

You (generally speaking) can envision her words; almost as if her lyrics are from a book IMO.
Her voice is just a bonus.
Look where she went with her music.
Head & shoulders above.
I really enjoy this song.
🎵When I get that crazy feeling, I know I’m in trouble again….🎵

2:34 photo of Joni looks almost like Patty Boyd

This was rap before rap. We are all one. She stands on the shoulders of others.
Don't you mean they stand on her shoulders?
@@paddysworld3978 No, I mean that music stands on the shoulders of many generations. It is interesting how things evolve.

React to 'Free Man in Paris' next! It's about David Geffen cruising for gay sex in Paris. FUN!!
