Joni Mitchell / Blue (US, Reprise Records, MS 2038) <June 22, 1971>
(SIDE 1) MS-2038 31218 (RE-2) 2A
(SIDE 2) MS-2038 31219 (RE-2) 2A

ジョニ・ミッチェルの4作目。初期のフォーク時代の作品はどれも人気が高いですが、これがジョニの作品でおそらく一番人気の作品で、オリジナル盤の入手困難度合いと言ったらまあ。。。しかもスレの目立つジャケでマニア泣かせです。きれいなジャケで見つけたら即買ですね。

このアルバムでは、ほろ苦いこの歌が好きです。

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

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

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

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

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"

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
