This song shows her poetic genius. She wrote it, sings it, plays the guitar on it, and even painted the album cover.....And she went on to a rather legendary career.
Brilliant singer
So stripped down, nowhere to hide, pure talent
and when there were harmonies, she did her own
She performed this song LAST NIGHT! LIVE at the Grammys! February 5th 2024. Please do another reaction to THAT version. It brought me to tears!
Joni Mitchell is one of the greatest song writers of all time.. Her album "Blue" is a masterpiece from beginning to end..
...not *just*: BLUE.
@tessmage_tessera
Court & Spark is,
absolutely inarguable, perfection.
It has no faults.
Thank you for that. I just ordered it a couple days ago. On vinyl.
You're right about Blue, but I'd add Court and Spark and Hejira to the perfection list. Somehow, Hejira is just spellbinding to me.
To all that commented on my comment, I did cut things a bit short by mentioning just "Blue". With Joni were do you start and where end when defining her creative genius? For the record in my humble opinion Clouds and Ladies of the Canyon are also masterpieces.
However, I believe in "Blue", Joni opened up so much she laid herself bare, the scars, the blemishes, the beauty all of it was laid wide open. I believe in "Blue" she shares more of herself than every before..
She’s one of the greatest singer/songwriters of our time.
Yes!!!! She is the Queen of singer/songwriters!!!!!
She makes Britain very proud.
She did a later version of this song that is every bit as beautiful in a completely different way
Dint forget what a great painter she is too and poet
She’s a Canadian…
So, there goes my plan to clean out my closet tonight. I’m going to pour myself a glass of wine and go down the the Joni Mitchell rabbit hole and watch every single one of her videos and listen to every single song. And smile and cry. And that’s ok. Because I’m a grown woman and can do what I want. Thanks for this.
Love this. I think I’ll join you. Chores can wait. 🤫
Me too! ❤😊
Aillen, how bout Karen Carpenter?!! When life was better....God it's just terrible now...hard to take.
Raise a glass for me too while you're at it. :) I imagine fields of daisies when I hear her sing and all those countless flowers are countless *people* connected by her music in the same frame of gentle mind. Community and Common Good. Nobody makes me feel that more than Ms. Mitchell and her songs.
And think of me when you get to Free Man in Paris.
Kate Bush, Joni Mitchell, Carole King and Carly Simon are all absolutely brilliant 🤩
You forgot Sandy Denny try who knows where the time goes, she wrote this song, covered by 100 other artists. Love Joni but Sandy just as great.
@@78yestor93Sandy Denny wrote this!?
@@pinball1970 Sandy Denny did not write this song. Don't know why that other poster would write something so foolish.
@@BobSoltis1 Yeah I checked. Forget to get back. I don't think Sandy Denny ever sang it either.
@@78yestor93 It was Joni Mitchell
Joni is amazing. You'd also like her "Big Yellow Taxi".
Yess
and the River
And "Help Me"
Yes, please!
Definitely Big Yellow Taxi
Ok, so now you HAVE to react to her re-recording of this song she did!
She was very young when she wrote this song, and as beautiful as it is, the version she recorded in 2000, as an older, much wiser woman, is absolutely heartbreaking.
Completely this!!!!!
Completely agree. The re-recording she did decades later was so much better. So heartfelt and heartbreaking. Raspy voice, and a life lived...I can't listen to it without crying.
PLEASE DO THE 2000 VERSION! YOU WILL BE ASTOUNDED!!!
Yes, agree it’s a must-hear! 👏
AB-SO-LUTELY!!
This song means more to be now at 63 years old than it did when I first heard it at 17 years old in the 70s. Then there's the movie Love Actually where Joni sings this in the movie at her older age with the deep raspy voice from year's of smoking and the song’s rousing embodiment of loss, heartbreak and reflection come crashing into the frame as Thompson delivers a devastating acting masterclass. This song is timeless ❤️ Brings me to tears everytime 😪
Same 💕
Agreed. The 70's version is sweet and melancholy from a young woman's perspective and the "newer" version has a gravitas that only someone who has lived a life can emote. Both hit me in the feels in different ways.
Heyou...agree in this not so good world today.
There's also the Oscar winner for best picture CODA (2021) which features this song very prominently and emotionally.
Oh they need to watch Love Actually.. 😢❤ it would make a good christmas movie night
please watch that Grammy's performance...it's spellbinding, a 80 year old lady, sitting in a chair, tapping her walking stick in tune...and saying "I don't know life now"...is beyond words....
This song was the first Joni Mitchell song I ever heard many years ago, and it still makes me cry. I have my tissues ready. 💙💙💙
Same here
-awwe-
Me too. Crying now. 😢 I have played this song myself on guitar more times than I can remember. Such a beautiful song, wonderful lyrics and Joni has such a stunning voice.🥰 It would be worth checking out more Joan Baez, more Melanie, Mary Hopkin's "Temma Harbour" (th-cam.com/video/d3o-k0ZB0pU/w-d-xo.html ) and the Seeker's "The Water is Wide" and "The Rattler".
@@joannecunliffe8067 -#cheers-- !-
The Circle Game is another one that gets to me.
I can never make it through this without tearing up. She really has a beautiful voice.
Now listen to her newer version of this song. I think early 2000. Makes me cry like a baby. So beautiful to hear the change in her voice and the music. 🎶 ❤
Man, I had never heard this version and my eyes are leaking. You are so right about the tone - so longing and melancholic
You must listen to the version she recorded live in 2022 at the Newport Music Festival. Incredible!
Agree on the never 2000. Ersion
I agree her voice over time has just got so more expressive and with a full orchestra behind her the song is perfect
Same !
Joni's catalog is huge. She went into numerous other genres with her writing and was famous for various guitar tunings that enabled her to play comfortably after having polio as a child. She is now late 70's but has publicly appeared and performed briefly since having an aneurysm in 2015. Legend, icon, musician/poet/songwriter. Much of her music has been covered by other artists, my favorite being Prince doing, "a case of you". All hail to Joni. 🥰
All hail Joni! She will be turning 80 this November, so she's even more amazing, lol.
I would argue the Prince "reference moment" in: "The Ballad Of Dorothy Parker" is even MORE important! 😋🤪😛🤘🤘
In November she turns 80.
@@dusty4835 yep. My month and day are the same - different years. Trying not to think that far ahead 🤣👍
My favorite albums of hers are Wild Things Run Fast, The Hissing of Summer Lawns and oddly, Mingus.😂🙌🏾☮️
Since y’all are parents you will really appreciate “The Circle Game”.
Give a listen to Judy Collins - my personal favorite is "Someday Soon" - Judy Collins had a relationship with Stephen Stills many years ago - Joni MItchell was in a relationship with Graham Nash - Joni wrote Both Sides Now, but it was initially recorded and released on Judy Collins' Wildflowers album in 1967 - and as a single in 1968. The single was in the top ten in the USA, and won a Grammy in 1969 for Best Folk Performance. Judy also has a magnificent voice. I saw Judy Collins and Stephen Stills when they toured together in 2017 - she still sounds like an angel.
Kate Bush is one of my favorite artist too.
Thank goodness for Winona Ryder's perserverance in promoting her, she never really reached a significant American audience for decades before that!
Joni is Canada’s National Treasure. She is an amazing musician, songwriter, poet and singer. This is my favourite song by her but Big Yellow Taxi is a close second. She went through a rough period health-wise but if faring much better now. I loved it when she was honoured at The Kennedy Center Honors. Thanks for the great reaction to the fabulous Joni Mitchell. 👏👏🇨🇦
Joni Mitchell is one of the greatest singer songwriters ever.
Hands down, my favourite version of this song!
Jay & Amber, you'll love Joni's "Free Man In Paris" and "Big Yellow Taxi" !!! Classics !!! Great singer/songwriter!!!!
edit- Judy Collins does a great version of todays song, and is the version most people know! Judy is the one Stephen Stills wrote "Suite: Judy Blue Eyes" about, for Crosby, Stills & Nash(you reacted to it Jan 12, 2022)
Free Man in Paris is a work of genius 😊
Joni wrote this song she's a tremendous song writer however Judy Collins performed it first. Her version sticks out to me. No dis on the songwriter, she is as I said before tremendous!!!
Interesting how Stephen Stills dated Judy Collins and Graham Nash dated Joni Mitchell.
I agree love free man in Paris and also California…..would love to see your reaction to those two songs ….
Finally!! Thanks RobSquad! We needed more Joni on the channel. “River” should be the next. One of the best songwriters of our times #ladyofthecanyon
River should be next, then Blue, then Little Green, then California.
As a Midwestern boy who spent most of my adult life in California trying to get in the Christmas spirit driving by palm trees with twinkling lights River always hit like a sledgehammer every year.
Yes, California!
Ditto that. I'd like to hear Chelsea Morning at some point. Nothing reminds me more of waking up in Greenwich Village in the summer of love and seeing flower girls blowing bubbles towards the children running all over Washington Square while musicians entertained and old men played chess in the park by the trees.
@@jacksonmorganfroghin4815 I played Chelsea Morning when I moved from Calgary to Vancouver and drove across the bridge with all my stuff in my truck, and sailed past Commercial Drive in dappled sunshine feeling alive for maybe the first time.
She redid this almost 40 years later in 2007 after age and chain smoking changed her voice and the song hits different.
Both sides now.
I LOVE the 2007 version. Same song, completely different. Joni Mitchell is a gift!!
This is the young Joni singing about life. She rerecorded this song around 2000 and it takes on a whole new perspective.
She painted that painting too. Singer and painter.
Big hit for Judy Collins. So many great songs by Joni Mitchell....a musical treasure for everyone.
Free Man in Paris her song about escaping being the songwriter for hire. Brilliant!
That's why I remember it sounding so differently! Judy had a slightly less mellow rendition, isn't that right?
@@fayesouthall6604 The Circle Game is another good one. We saw her in 1974...her voice then was like an angel singing.
@@JO-qd2bv they're both sopranos so their versions were close but distinct. Think Judy sang in higher register.
@JO-qd2bv Judy Collins did had a hit with Both Sides Now in 1967, and basically thrust Joni Mitchell into the eye/ ear as a singer songwriter. Judy's version is more uptempo pop, even though they used a harpsichord to carry the melody instead of guitar. Other Joni composition performed by Judy was Chelsea Morning,
Well now you have to hear the updated version of this song that grown-up Joni recorded in the 2000s. The mood of the song changes completely. Her age and wisdom brings a different level of both sadness and acceptance.
It plays a significant part in the movie Love Actually.
I was going to recommend this one as well! I actually prefer that version of the two.
I think the 2000s version is much better. It has a much deeper meaning.
Please do this version as well, to see the different perspective in the words from a more experienced Joni in the later performance, amazing
I was looking for this comment, and would have given the suggestion if nobody else had done so. It is interesting to compare the two versions.
Also, a good cover is done by the Australian a cappella group "Idea of North". (If you don't want to listen to yet another version of this song, they have done many other things to check out. Both covers and good originals.)
"The Circle Game" will resonate with you as parents.
One of the greatest Canadian poets ever!
Right on! Add in Neil Young, Leonard Cohen, Bruce Cockburn, Buffy Sainte Marie, and Gordon Lightfoot. Wow, all Canadian Legends!!
Joni is right up there with Dylan, Stevie, John/Paul, and many other (Kate also) - a genius level musical artist. Amber please do The Sensual World by Kate (and more Joni songs)
I agree with other posts below -- You MUST watch/listen to 80-year-old Joni Mitchell's performance of Both Sides Now at the 2024 Grammys. Her voice is VERY different now, and not just because of age, but also because she has spent a number of years recovering from a burst aneurysm in her brain. She had to learn how to speak, walk, and sing all over again. So to see and hear her bring her years and wisdom and experience and clear-sighted perspective to a song she wrote and first recorded at age 23 is just such an amazing PRIVILEGE. Go watch it immediately!
This song was used in a scene of the movie Love Actually and the actress, Emma Thompson, showed the vast emotion within this song. Beautiful!
It was Joni's 2000 version in that movie even making it more poingant
Yesssss....such a heartbreaking and beautiful moment captured with song
I just finished watching love actually. Amazing performance by Emma Thompson.
Joni is someone you'd really love to get to know deeply Amber. Her life, her career, her loves. She's a legend for the detail of all of those things. Her voice is fantastic but the music and lyrics are completely unique too. My desert island album choice is Court and Spark.
Yes.
Turbulent Indigo is my desert island Joni pick 🙂
Joni Mitchell, Woodstock live in studio 1970...a must!!!
Joni Mitchell, for being a folk singer songwriter, sure has a lot of funky rhythms and odd time signatures.
Joni = genius, beauty. talent, strength, conviction.
Her "Blue" album is a masterpiece.
One of the best folk singers of the 60s and 70s.
The magic Joni creates here with just her voice and a single guitar...astonishing. Heart-searing.
Songs back in the day were so philisophical...
Another beautiful voice from that era is Phoebe Snow. Her voice was spectacularly different and her lyrics were poetry. Her most popular sone was Poetry Man, but she had other great songs like Harpo’s Blues, Two Fisted Love, Going Down for the Third Time, Don’t lLet me Down, and many more. Check her out!
I love Phoebe's version of Teach Me Tonight!
They did a reaction to Poetry Man and I love that song too!
@@heatherbegs i just saw it thanks!
Phoebe did a very underrated song from Paul McCartney's first solo album. The song is called, "Every Night" Her version of 'San Francisco Bay Blues" is quite good as well.
Back to Joni. Her version of Twisted is good for a laugh. It's from the Court and Spark album. Circa 1974.
She also painted most (if not all) of her album covers. She's a very talented artist on canvas as well. Love Joni so much.
Joni is by all accounts one of the top (female) artists of the 20th (and 21st) century. Almost every singer/songwriter since comes from her. She has so many great songs but you guys should try her jazz period. She played with the best players like Wayne Shorter (sax), Jaco Pastorius (bass), etc. Would recommend “Coyote “, “Amelia”.,”Hejira”.
PS. I love Kate Bush as well. She was just voted into the R&R Hall of Fame!! Tell Jay to try “Love and Anger” with guest guitarist David Gilmore from Pink Floyd who actually “discovered “ Kate and helped her get her first contract. I guarantee he’ll become a fan.
I feel Karen Carpenter is no. 1.
She also played with Pat Metheny
Jay, Kate is HUGE in the u.k. and a very well respected artist., You need to do more homework on La Bush!
One of my favorite songs and I know I’m not alone.❤
Joni is a musical icon. Singer, songwriter and musician extraordinaire …from Canada 🇨🇦
Brilliant song by a brilliant songwriter/performer. :) :) :)
She sang this on the Grammys tonight first time ever performing
Best part of the entire show
It was mesmerizing
I cried it was so beautiful
Kate Bush definitely belongs in the conversation with the likes of Joni Mitchell and Carole King❣️ They are all musical geniuses that have contributed mightily to our human fabric💖 Wait until Jay hears Joni as she evolves throughout her career, especially her work with Charles Mingus, Jaco Pastorius, Wayne Shorter, Herbie Hancock, etc. You'll begin to see how similar Joni and Kate are. Both are visionaries, pioneers and genre stretchers🎉
RSR mentioned Carol King as a Singer/Songwriter they liked. In 1971, Carol King was recording her album "Tapestry", Joni Mitchell was recording Blue and James Taylor was recording "Mud Slide Slim and the Blue Horizon". Joni and Carol performed on "Mud Slide Slim and the Blue Horizon", Joni and James performed on "Tapestry" and James performed on "Blue". 🎸😎
Judy Collins did a GREAT cover of this song.
Thank you! I've been requesting for months but I know how hard it must be to get to all the requests. Joni is definitely a poet. Right up there with Dylan.
Genius lyrics and a voice that is so, so unique. She rerecorded this as a mature woman and the song takes on additional meaning as she at that point has lived a lifetime.
Thank you, Jay and Amber, for reacting to this song.
I HIGHLY recommend listening to her 2000's version and comparing them.
Even the album art is amazing to compare as they compliment the songs. The song from the '70s has innocence, energy, and the optimism of youth compared to maturity, pain, and regret of a life lived in the later version.
You can really feel the differences in how she interprets the song and how beautiful both are.
Couldn’t agree more
The 2000 version will bring you to tears...
I feel like you need to notice that this song is life. From all aspects. The beauty that is the unknowing. Not ever perfecting anything but still realising so much at the same time. It's the most human song ever written. The vulnerability, the prowess, the fear, the bravery. God I think this song is like something written by someone 600 years old.
Lyrically, musically and vocally one of the great songs. Even if you hear it and don't know who the singer is you just know it's from an incredible artist.
One guitar a voice and a great song. We had rockin' stuff too, but we knew how to listen - no cell phones.That's all we needed back in the day, listening to our poets as we explored life together, as they expressed our shared experiences. We had no internet; this was our medium, how we communicated our experiences, hopes and dreams and aspirations. We still have music, but to old dude me it seems we've lost a lot. Sorry, for sounding like my father.
Who looks out of a plane window and writes a magical song like this? Joni Mitchell does! Check out 'Raised on Robbery '(1974) for some fire from Joni. Cheers.
Joni Mitchell is in a class of her own. Listen to "A Case of You" from the Blue Album. Excellent.
Yes, they did react to that.
Kate Bush IS an amazing artist. Totally agree with Amber! X
th-cam.com/users/shortsVBm6aeUds60?feature=share
Best Canadian after Leonard Cohen, Joni and kd... Sarah McLachlan. Cannot get them (Amber and Jay) to discover Sarah's trove of hits.
@@cecileluv I've suggested Sarah too.
-awesome !-
I'm going to come to Amber's defense here, for exactly the reasons she gave: Kate Bush is amazing. As unique as Joni, not better or worse, they're both treasures to music and art, and we are all lucky to live on the same planet they do.
Kate Bush is an amazing singer, songwriter and performer. She deserves to be mentioned with Joni.
No
A testament to Joni Mitchell's superior writing abilities: I've heard this song covered many times... from slow to rockin' fast (Jason Faulkner has a great version) and they ALL sound AMAZING... and it's because of the lyric and music. Just a PHENOMENAL song.
This song is a great one. There is a video on TH-cam of her singing this being introduced by Cass Elliot. Judy Collins also does a rendition of this that is worth catching.
You go girl! Kate Bush is INCREDIBLE. Have you listened to Womens Work yet??
They already react.
How can anyone do it any better? And to realize she was so young when she wrote this song of wisdom. And then to watch her sing it again decades later as an old woman, when she's truly seen life from both sides of age, and as if the younger Joni wrote it for the older Joni to sing and complete towards the end of her life. I have no words...
Please give the orchestral version of "Both Sides Now" a listen. It"s from her album, "Both Sides Now," for which she earned two Grammy Awards. It's much more reflective. Brings tears to my eyes every time.
Still prefer the original, personally I think the the simple guitar achieved much more pathos from the song and the orchestra adds nothing
@user-pv8bm9ez8f everybody's got their preferences. Glad you enjoy yours.
So much Joni Mitchell to discover! So. Much.
There is a version where she sings this as as an older soul 50 years later. It hits different.
Why do I get tears in my eyes when I listen to Joni? Love you Joni.
Thanks for this reaction from a fantastic female (Canadian, no less!) and it ain't even "Female Friday". Joni was in her early 20's when she wrote this, if I'm not mistaken. It's a song that hits differently at different stages in one's life. Jay and Amber, I'd be really curious to see your reactions to more of Joni's extensive catalog, especially when she moves into more experimental and jazzy sounds with albums like _Don Juan's Reckless Daughter_ , _Mingus_ , _Hejira_ , and _The Hissing of Summer Lawns_ . (Has Jay ever heard of the late Jaco Pastorius? He'll absolutely dig that guy's bass-playing on some of Joni's albums.)
Another Canadian masterpiece. If you ever wanted a song to relax you down to pure bliss, it is this one... I SOOOOO love this song
This song always chokes me up
Did you see Joni perform this song at the Grammy’s tonight??? Oh my goodness!!! Brandi Carlile gave her the best introduction ever…then she and ensemble supported Joni’s performance. It was WOW!!
Joni is a musical genius. Such a deep catalog. Her lyrics are poetry -- and often raw emotion. You guys like storytelling... try "The Last Time I Saw Richard"... "Carey" for some bopping fun... "River" for gorgeous melancholy (nobody does melancholy like Joni)... and "Blue" for sheer musical perfection. I could go on... She should have the next six months blocked out for Female Friday!
I believe Joni painted that album cover? She is sensational artist :)
Yes, it's of her in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan.
Arguably one of the most influential song writer/musicians ever.
Joni has influenced many many artists and they in turn have influenced many many artists. The list has to be in the hundreds.
Joni started out in Saskatoon, Canada. The city is depicted on this album cover. The Red Lilly being the provincial flower.
I went to the same high school that Joni did, although 30 years later. She stopped in one day, while I was in high school, met with some students. Dropped off an autographed photo of herself for the foyer.
I had no clue who she was. Or the influence she has had. I kick myself every time I hear one of her songs that I didn’t get an autograph.
Joni did a wonderful BBC concert in 1970 that includes this tune, and is here on YT, fyi...
Here it is: th-cam.com/video/E-he9mzrjCU/w-d-xo.html
Beautiful, magical, historical!
Another great Canadian singer that often gets overlooked is Anne Murray. Thanks for sharing!
River, Carey, and Case of You are all amazing Joni songs. Try those soon please!
This is her most beautiful song
Joni has a huge Canon of styles, songs and Vibes. She can rock hard, she can bring on the gentle, she's a fine jazz chantuese and NOBODY,
NOBODY, NOBODY writes better lyrics.
Thanks for playing this.
Go down the rabbit hole. It's startling how much depth is found.
Check out one of Prince's favorite albums
The Hissing of Summer Lawns...it's influence is wide. Almost Aja...then
Hejira...Coyote or Amelia or The Madeleine Diarys.
Don Juan's Reckless Daughter. The Dry Cleaner from Des Moines. Help Me from Court and Spark! She's Winner of The Kennedy Center's Gershwin Prize for Song. Free Man in Paris, Talk to Me, dive in the water is DEEP!
Graham Nash wrote Our House for her and on the same album, Deja Vu comes her anthemic WOODSTOCK
I've never heard this version before.
We sang this song in jr high choir long long long time ago.
I don't know if you've done "Big Yellow Taxi" by Joni yet!
The album cover art is a self portrait, she's also a talented painter.
I've always said if a person can totally entertain with you with just a guitar and their voice, that is real talent. Stripped down to the basics, so vulnerable and yet so good....
Something catches in the throat when listening today to Joni singing this. It was so long ago when we were listening and cuddling to this as a beautiful "new" song from Joni !
She has such an angelic voice , it’s like you could hear her singing with the angels in Heaven 😇
“Help Me” by Joni Mitchell in 1974 was a popular radio hit. 😊
Such a powerful song that makes me feel so nostalgic and sad at once for the past---even more so with most of my life now in the rear view mirror.
Listen to the later version she did with an orchestra background - used on "Love, Actually," heartbreaking beautiful.....
Fantastic. Such a classic.
Now bring back some Carole King. :)
A Case of You is my favorite Jonie Mitchell song i think. That or River. Blue is a fantastic masterpiece of an album
Woohoo! Looking forward to this rabbit hole, and song. She groovy and smart and classy. Like y'all.
Like most of her songs, it is poetic and pregnant with meaning. Life-changing songs. "Circle Game" is another classic that will cleaveth to your bones. With her music I would start with the lyrics, and then move to the music. She's as good as Bob Dylan in the poetry department, though he plays a better cowboy.
Circle game is a favourite 😊
@@fayesouthall6604 Miles of Aisles live version is the one I know best. It is a timeless classic for all time, if ever there was one. "Times of Your Life" by Paul Anka was an earlier similar song on the cycles of life. Kodak used it well.
Great reaction! I'm 70 and Joni really got it right. Everything is a mystery. Once you think you've got it figured out, BAM, you get knocked right back on your can to start over.
Joni, Kate, Carole -all favs. Tell Jay to sit down about Kate. Maybe he needs to hear Kate Bush and Peter Gabriel sing “Don’t Give Up” to understand.
Not only is Joni Mitchell a talented and inventive guitarist and has the voice of an angel….she paints pictures with words. Just beautiful music full of emotion. Im glad I grew up with her music in the 60s and 70s.
She did a remake of this song with a full orchestra. It’s beautiful.
I like the orchestral version better. Pulls you deep into the song.
th-cam.com/video/7cBf0olE9Yc/w-d-xo.html
She performed this at her televised tribute in 2000......Haunting. I want it played at my funeral.
Kate Bush and Joni Mitchell are 2 different performers and you can't really compare them from the same perspective time. I will say, though, as far as I am concerned these 2 were exceptional pioneers of women songwriters and performers both were exceptionally gifted performers and ICONIC writers. Both deserve all the respect and praise they are given.
This was one of my mother's favorite songs and I got to like to love this song very much. I think of this song every time I think of my mother and now she is in heaven, a shout out to your channel for playing this song.!!
Brittany Howard and Herbie Hancock on piano sang this song in honoring Joni when she received her Kennedy Center Award. Their version of this song is unforgettable. Please check it out whether you air it or not. It's just amazing.
I haven’t heard that but will have to seek it out, I can hear it already in my head. ✌️
And, obviously, one of my generations greatest song-writers. !!
