She really IS back on Spotify, and the full catalog is finally there.
She created interesting music throughout her career but this early, "Court and Spark"-era gem is her greatest song IMO (the one that Prince interpolated on The Ballad of Dorothy Parker, low-key one of his best - he was a huge fan). When I can focus enough to conjure my parents back to life, when they were together and living in the same house, this is the song that was playing in the background of their goofy fern-decorated, swimming pool festooned LBC ranch house. The 70s were weird but Joni remains undefeated.

Let the choir sing in rejoice, Joni Mitchell is back on Spotify folks. And while some music heads might be tripping over themselves to stream the legendaric Blue 1971 album, you can catch me at the sonic jazz bar that is Both Sides Now. You might be familiar with this re-recorded track and album from the iconic Emma Thompson scene in 2001βs Christmas cult classic Love Actually but this album is so much more. If youβre a jazz enjoyer, or maybe not so into Americana folk, and wanna know what all the Joni-craze is about: this is the album for you.
I recommend listening no earlier than dusk and maybe after a little bit of a hard day.

So ok when I was a child running in the night β afraid of what might be hiding in the dark, hiding in the street, and what was following me β the hounds of love were hunting me! I've always been a coward! I don't know what's good for me. Oh, here I go... it's coming for me through the trees!!!!!! Oh, help me, someone, help me, please!!!!!!!! Take my shoes off and throw them in the lake and I'll be two steps on the water. I found a fox caught by dogs. He let me take him in my hands. His little heart, it beat so fast, and I'm ashamed of running away. I mean, from nothing real, I just can't deal with this... I'm still afraid to be there. Among the hounds of love. And to feel your arms surround me. I've always been a coward and have never known what's good for me. Oh here I go... don't let me go... hold me down... it's coming for me through the trees!!!!! Help me, darling! Help me, please!!!!!!!!! Take my shoes off and throw them in the lake and I'll be two steps on the water. I don't know what's good for me, I don't know what's good for me... I need love! Your love. And take your shoes off and throw them in the lake. Do you know what I really need? Do you know what I really need? LOVE!
