Joni Mitchell Lyrics
Born in Fort MacLeod, Alberta a young Joan Anderson moved
to North Battleford, Saskatchewan with her parents shortly
after Word War II.
Inspired by her older friend Frankie McKitrick, she begged
her parents at age 7 to allow her to take piano lessons
which lasted for a year and a half. She also took up
drawing and after moving to Saskatoon at age 9, she
contracted polio which she forunately recovered from with
the love of her family and art.
In Grade 7, one of her teachers, Mr. Kratzman encouraged
her to craft the written word and More...

Review about Joni Mitchell songs
Giving & Receiving | Reviewer: Douglas Jack
------ About the song MAGDALENE LAUNDRIES performed by Joni MitchellI wonder how Joni recovered from being forced to relinquish her child to these bloodless brides of Jesus and then so captured her / our human world voice of being? Joni speaks eloquently for all human kind.
These institutional death mongers, give their lives to religions & other machines. Nuns want to give but don't realize they need to receive consciously & openly from the very people they want to help in revolutionary solidarity. Charity is only living on the spoils of the monetary-capitalist system so religions are only the flip side of the economic system upon which they join in unholy alliance.
When I heard the Magdalene Laundries, I thought immediately of the church run residential schools which forcibly tore 100s of 1000s of five year old children self-righteously from their families & communities, infected children deliberately with a known high death rates from Tuberculosis & the pox's, punished them for speaking their languages, raped & abused them to drive the 'Indian' out of their hearts.
There is a way to live together in humanity's universal, inclusive, welcoming worldwide 'indigenous' (Latin 'self-generating') heritage of giving & receiving. Jesus was unfortunately a linear thinker who could only conceive of giving. www.indigenecommunity.info
Fantastic song | Reviewer: Heather McCall-Kelly
------ About the song Urge For Going performed by Joni MitchellI heard a recording of Tom Rush singing this song on the local college station recently and, as it has every time I've heard it, it made me tear up. It strikes something deep and sorrowful within me. I love this song and was thrilled to find the lyrics. Joni Mitchell is such an astounding wordsmith!
This song truly touched my soul; I really felt for Joni | Reviewer: Robert Carr
------ About the song A CASE OF YOU performed by Joni MitchellFor over 40 years I never paid too much attention to Joni's songs, but after I retired and had time to really listen to her poetry and songs I became thoroughly enchanted, for a cynical old ex=Marine! I have written books, but though I have built guitars & dulcimers I cannot play or express myself like Joni has done in all this time. She is revered and loved over here like she will never know. I respect her and the way she handled her life.
This song is my companion | Reviewer: Bruce Skewes
------ About the song CIRCLE GAME performed by Joni MitchellThis song, with its perspective, has never been far from my mind. I only wish she had been inspired to write more, like Shakespeare, about the "ages of man." Now, as my childhood friend faces terminal illness, it comes to me once again.
Joni is one of the best | Reviewer: miq
------ About the song TWISTED performed by Joni MitchellI never write shit on the computer, never!!! But Joni is one of the finest jazz/rock singers ever. Her glistening vocal talents wer only out done by sharp and yet sometimes dream like lyrics and arrangements. I was at church today and singing this tune out loud as I walked in, and out of 15 people only one other knew the song and maybe 2 people knew who she was. Made me want to slit my wrists, shoot up and die in the gutter. I give it 10 stars!
so emotional | Reviewer: Emer McManus
------ About the song MAGDALENE LAUNDRIES performed by Joni MitchellI was researching "magdalene laundries" when I stumbled across this song. I didn't realise the true misery these girls went true. As a tear trickled down my cheek, a lump formed in my throat and I had to express my feelings. Now I must listen to this heart wrenching song.
the 'real' people at the party | Reviewer: j. eric
------ About the song PEOPLE'S PARTIES performed by Joni Mitchellcatchy little confessional (dated by now) social commentary of the hollywood party scene way back when. who is jack behind his joker, nicholson perhaps? stone-cold grace, jones perhaps? poor eddy in the corner...?
fast moving chord progression:it's no wonder Joni knits, she can't seem to let her hands rest on any one chord too long. infectious melody and as always, a great lyric. I give it 3.5 stars
great | Reviewer: dahlia
------ About the song THE CIRCLE GAME performed by Joni MitchellEvery year when i go to camp we sing this song and my camp planner said she cries every time she hears that song. My sister and her camp friends made an awful parody to the song it goes like this "And the seasons turn black and red and the painted ponies are shot and dead your captured in the enemie camp in jail, you can only look from behind your cellar bars and go round and round thinkin' 'bout your family."
maybe one of the most poignant songs of the 20th century | Reviewer: Tim
------ About the song CIRCLE GAME performed by Joni MitchellThe music alone brought tears to my eyes when I first heard it. I didn't even catch all the lyrics at first, but there's something so sadly sweet about the melody, it made me cry. I was surprised when I learned the song was about growing up and trading cartwheels for car wheels and being in a hurry to grow up at first then wanting desperately to slow life down. Its universal angst, and a little sad in a way, but its the haunting melody that still chokes me up a bit even today. Few melodies affect me so much.
True to life | Reviewer: Ward
------ About the song EDITH AND THE KINGPIN performed by Joni MitchellAs I was listening to Tina Turner sing it, I was thinking that she has watched this story unfold from the invisibility of the bandstand a thousand times in a thousand variations -- probably all professional performers have. That's one reason why it's such a wonderful song - it's so true.
