Anyone a Joni Mitchell fan? You know she wrote the infamous song "By the Time I Get to Woodstock" sung by

Question

Crosby, Still, Nash & Young at Woodstock. Here's one of my favorites: Both Sides Now Like the words?

Rows and flows of angel hair
And ice cream castles in the air
And feather canyons ev�rywhere
I�ve looked at clouds that way

But now they only block the sun
They rain and snow on ev�ryone
So many things I would have done
But clouds got in my way
I�ve looked at clouds from both sides now
From up and down, and still somehow
It�s cloud illusions I recall
I really don�t know clouds at all

Moons and junes and ferris wheels
The dizzy dancing way you feel
As ev�ry fairy tale comes real
I�ve looked at love that way

But now it�s just another show
You leave �em laughing when you go
And if you care, don�t let them know
Don�t give yourself away

I�ve looked at love from both sides now
From give and take, and still somehow
It�s love�s illusions I recall
I really don�t know love at all That's all i could fit!

Yes, she wrote "Big Yellow Taxi".....I've listened to her records over and over in the 70's....she was my early jazz influence and she teamed up with Charlie Mingus in the 90's (R&B, jazz artist) she's my idol!

She didn't go to Woodstock because she was a guest on Johnny Carson....a life decision.

Answer 1

I love that song, it's so deep. It makes me cry!

Answer 2

I seem to remember she had to watch woodstock on TV because they couldn't get her in?


Lovely lady though, and a very good guitar player; for which she doesn't always get enough credit.

That Coyote song was something else too!!!

Answer 3

Is Joni Mitchell who wrote Big Yellow Taxi? I really love that song. I didn't realise her songs were all really well written, I will have to find out more. Thanks!

Answer 4

Yes, and she didn't go.
