Oh my, I listened to Joni original (for the millionth time), and this popped up, I thought "OK, here we go, well meant, but nowhere close". And lo. Fantastic!! And lovely guitar playing, very restrained and powerful when needed. Bravo Jack
[Verse 1] Just before our love got lost you said "I am as constant as a northern star" And I said, "Constantly in the darkness Where's that at? If you want me I'll be in the bar" On the back of a cartoon coaster In the blue TV screen light I drew a map of Canada Oh, Canada With your face sketched on it twice [Chorus] Oh, you are in my blood like holy wine You taste so bitter and so sweet Oh, I could drink a case of you, darling And I would still be on my feet Oh, I would still be on my feet [Verse 2] 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 I remember that time you told me, you said "Love is touching souls" Surely you touched mine 'Cause part of you pours out of me In these lines from time to time [Chorus] Oh, you are in my blood like holy wine You taste so bitter and so sweet Oh, I could drink a case of you, darling Still I'd be on my feet I would still be on my feet [Verse 3] I met a woman She had a mouth like yours She knew your life She knew your devils and your deeds And she said "Go to him, stay with him if you can But be prepared to bleed" [Chorus] Oh, but you are in my blood, you are my holy wine You're so bitter, bitter and so sweet Oh, I could drink a case of you, darling Still I'd be on my feet I would still be on my feet
Yours is the best cover of this song on TH-cam, man. No joking. It's just you, a guitar and a lot of feelings. I hate watching overproduced stuff. I'll be listening to your music.
Really great. And so much better than any version I've ever heard sung by a girl. They always end up ear splittingly harsh in the high notes of the chorus, including Joni herself. But your version was smooth. Sierra Eagleson is the exception. Hers is also great.
Man, you do an incredible job if this. Your vocal line is exceptional. This is my favourite interpretation and it just seems to flow out if you….what a great song too….nobisy but Joni can write lyrics like that.
This may be one of the best, interpretations of this incredibly beautiful songs I have ever heard, pure stripped down and straight from your hear in your voice
Best male cover of this on youtube including rufus wainwright 10k hits is criminal. I'm not sure its you but i heard a man play this live in Edinburgh one night a long time ago i just get a feeling it's yourself. either way superb performance sir.
Beautifully performed, sir. This song by Joni is one of my favorites...so many great covers of it have been showing up for me in the past couple weeks.
Absolutely amazing cover of a beautiful (and very difficult) song. Well done, you deserve a lot more views. I wish I could sing joni like this, you are a master.
Nicely done Jack. What tuning by the way ? Joni has been a favorite of mine for many years, and this is one of the best covers I have heard of this song. Brilliant mate!
I've listened literally a hundred times....my favourite version ever!
Thanks 🙏
Beautiful. Never thought a guy could do this song justice. I felt that.

[Verse 1]
Just before our love got lost you said
"I am as constant as a northern star"
And I said, "Constantly in the darkness
Where's that at?
If you want me I'll be in the bar"
On the back of a cartoon coaster
In the blue TV screen light
I drew a map of Canada
Oh, Canada
With your face sketched on it twice
[Chorus]
Oh, you are in my blood like holy wine
You taste so bitter and so sweet
Oh, I could drink a case of you, darling
And I would still be on my feet
Oh, I would still be on my feet
[Verse 2]
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
I remember that time you told me, you said
"Love is touching souls"
Surely you touched mine
'Cause part of you pours out of me
In these lines from time to time
[Chorus]
Oh, you are in my blood like holy wine
You taste so bitter and so sweet
Oh, I could drink a case of you, darling
Still I'd be on my feet
I would still be on my feet
[Verse 3]
I met a woman
She had a mouth like yours
She knew your life
She knew your devils and your deeds
And she said
"Go to him, stay with him if you can
But be prepared to bleed"
[Chorus]
Oh, but you are in my blood, you are my holy wine
You're so bitter, bitter and so sweet
Oh, I could drink a case of you, darling
Still I'd be on my feet
I would still be on my feet
Blimey you've got some talent there lad!
