Sitting in a park in Paris France
Reading the news and it sure looks bad
They won't give peace a chance
That was just a dream some of us had
Still a lot of lands to see
But I wouldn't want to stay here
It's too old and cold and settled in its ways here
Oh but California

California I'm coming home
I'm going to see the folks I dig
I'll even kiss a Sunset pig
California I'm coming home

I met a redneck on a Grecian isle
Who did the goat dance very well
He gave me back my smile
But he kept my camera to sell
Oh the rogue the red red rogue
He cooked good omelettes and stews
And I might have stayed on with him there
But my heart cried out for you California

Oh California I'm coming home
Oh make me feel good rock 'n' roll band
I'm your biggest fan
California I'm coming home

Oh it gets so lonely
When you're walking
And the streets are full of strangers
All the news of home you read
Just give you the blues
Just give you the blues

So I bought me a ticket
I caught a plane to Spain
Went to a party down a red dirt road
There were lots of pretty people there
Reading Rolling Stone reading Vogue
They said "How long can you hang around?"
I said a week maybe two
Just until my skin turns brown
Then I'm going home to California

California I'm coming home
Oh will you take me as I am
Strung out on another man
California I'm coming home

Oh it gets so lonely
When you're walking
And the streets are full of strangers
All the news of home you read
More about the war
And the bloody changes
Oh will you take me as I am?
Will you take me as I am?
Will you?

As good as they are, I'll take Hejira and Don Juan's Reckless Daughter over both Blue and Court & Spark - both of those are god-like in my opinion. The words, the musicianship... make my heat explode. But that's the joy of it, right? Something for everyone (well, except those that just can't allow themselves to listen past the surface).

This is a 7 for me, but I always rate Joni Mitchell songs one higher than I normally would, just to balance out all the Joni haters, so I rated it at 8.

Joni Mitchell is a genius and treasure, and it appears a lot of Radio Paradise listeners have a big problem with her music, based on the ratings here. I had no idea she was so divisive. Unreal.

I always loved the visual and feeling that she transports me to in that line. Unfortunately, I've been dreaming on that bench with her for 51 years since this was released but I'm not about to stop now.

I suggest you listen closer. But your comment may have prompted Joni to explore different territory, knowing the weight of your judgment has enormous impact on an artist.

I'm OK with somewhere in the 20-30 range, and I'll go 8→9 today

And to add a finer point to RS' list (from Joni's Wiki):

Her 1971 album Blue is often cited as one of the best albums of all time; it was rated the 30th best album ever made in Rolling Stone's list of the "500 Greatest Albums of All Time", the highest entry by a female artist.[5]

....Long Live RP!!

Funny, I did the opposite, yet feel the same! Texan here, but spent about a year in NorCal (ca 1989, Loma Prieta quake). And I feel exactly what Joni is singing about too.

Posted 6 years ago by dwlangham    [ Reply ]
I don't mind complaining about Joni Mitchell's voice - some can't take high-pitched soprano.  I get that.  What I can't understand is people insisting it should be taken off the RP playlist - not just this song, but her whole repertoire.  Why not just mute or PSD, or just listen to more mainstream stations?

I'm glad RP exists and am willing to put up with the odd artist or song that I don't like here.  Which reminds me - time for my annual donation! {#Music}

Try Shadows & Light - a live album with her and Pat Metheney, Lyle Mays, Jaco Pastorius and Tom Scott. Really nice if you don't like the high pitched Joni (which I don't).

A brilliant artist, poet, songwriter and singer - especially when you you consider how many of Joni Mitchell's best songs were written before she became "famous."

Yes, it's a bit worrisome as she's being out of the limelight for a while, since the CBC interview. My fear is that we're about to lose another icon. They tend to 'disappear' from the public, celebrities in dangerous health.

Brilliant, the songwriting, the playing, and the vocal.


Someone's got a classic case of dissonance. Ain't going to pick it.  Take two glasses of merlot and call us in the morning. 
Personally -- it's terrific writing, timeless in its way but more of its 1970s time -- now blast us some Sticky Fingers.
