When I first saw your gallery
I liked the ones of ladies
Then you began to hang up me
You studied to portray me
In ice and greens
And old blue jeans
And naked in the roses
Then you got into funny scenes
That all your work discloses
"Lady, don't love me now I am dead
I am a saint, turn down your bed
I have no heart," that's what you said
You said, "I can be cruel
But let me be gentle with you"
Somewhere in a magazine
I found a page about you
I see that now it's Josephine
Who cannot be without you
I keep your house in fit repair
I dust the portraits daily
Your mail comes here from everywhere
The writing looks like ladies'
"Lady, please love me now, I am dead
I am a saint, turn down your bed
I have no heart," that's what you said
You said, "I can be cruel
But let me be gentle with you"
I gave you all my pretty years
Then we began to weather
And I was left to winter here
While you went west for pleasure
And now you're flying back this way
Like some lost homing pigeon
They've monitored your brain, you say
And changed you with religion
"Lady, please love me now I was dead
I am no saint, turn down your bed
Lady, have you no heart," that's what you said
Well, I can be cruel
But let me be gentle with you
When I first saw your gallery
I liked the ones of ladies
But now their faces follow me
And all their eyes look shady

After a lifetime of listening to this song I see how brilliantly it captures the metamorphosis of thought and spirit that accompanies the years, but I am mystified by how she knew all this at such a young age. I have concluded that Joni is a special being -- like Newton or Mozart or Leonardo.
I agree!
I agree with you with all my heart. Joni Mitchell is extraordinary.
Well said. Couldn’t agree more.
She's an old soul. She's been here before.
Yes, I further believe she is deeply intuitive and so in tune with the rhythms of nature. I know when “Clouds” was first released I played it so often it would play in my head without the stylus touching the vinyl. I would guess I sure wasn’t the only one who found this masterpiece album to be the friend you turn to when you need a soul hug.
If you ever wondered what an angel sounds like when she speaks, that's what she sounds like.
Watching this I can still feel like that 17 year old boy again hearing this for the first time. Oh I had such a crush. There will never be another Joni Mitchell on this earth again. TG her time here has been the same time as mine.
Imagine being so beautiful and so talented. Joni is from another world.
I wrote a 5000 word English language investigation essay about these lyrics... never enjoyed writing an essay more!
Would it be possible to read your essay? I have always been interested in geeting deep into Joni's touching imagery...
Omg, I'd love to read that!
@@LittleEarthquakes97 who do you think it's about? cohen?
I’d happily read this!! Could you share a link?
Same here! (France actually)
My favorite off Clouds but then again the entire album is fabulous.
My favorite Joni Album!
In some ways, my favorite of all her albums, although Hejira is a work of genius. Yet... so many songs from Clouds stick with you forever, including this one.
Heaven. She taught us boys how to feel.
Some boys. ❤
She's still teaching me 😂 even on the nth' go round of listening to wonderful 👍🏻 Joni
She is my favorite songwriter and she sounds like an angel. This is one of my favorite songs of hers - top five - about a former lover of hers.
Best one off Clouds. Midway is the second one followed by Chelsea Morning, Both Sides Now, and so on. But The Gallery is very special.
My word! We tend to think that cerebral thoughts are a recent thing. But Joni is as real as it comes, before many of us were born. And, how good is her musicianship? Peerless.
Joni = God's Angel of music.
I prefer the release version where she harmonizes with herself. But this is excellent anyway. She was so imaginative and creative.
This song makes me cry and I don’t really know why that is.
She’s so beautiful. Inside and out. I just love her so much. 💖
"I gave you all my pretty years
Then we began to weather
And I was left to winter here
While you went west for pleasure
And now you're flying back this way
Like some lost homing pigeon
They've monitored your brain, you say
And changed you with religion"
One of a million examples where Joni appears to be writing out of my own diary.. Best part is I know you all feel the same way! Hail the Queen!!
I have seen an angel with a guitar & she is Joni Mitchell
Joni looked like and had the voice of an angle!
I cannot in any way relate personally to the song lyrics but I don't know where the tear comes from every time I play it.
I love this woman. Such a perfect piece of music.
I love her more!
i love this song to me it represents my youth and somehow my sad love life at the moment full of sadness but still somewhat hopeful and cheerful and btw she is so stunning in this video in the pink dress absolutely stunning.
Incredible. Beautiful, both the song and the singer. I love you Joni.
If there are angels, this is what they'll sound like.
An original artist, with something poignant to say about life. Joni brought the art of live performance to highest level in her life.
We are stardust
Billion-year-old carbon
We are golden
Caught in the devil's bargain
And we've got to get ourselves
Back to the garden
A gentle, true spirit.
Man! scientologists do not deserve this lovely angel🤣 was she referring to Leonard then? Cristal clear voice and poetic lyrics. There will never be somebody quite like our Joanie💎
This song is widely thought to be about Leonard
the reference to Scientologists is about being changed by religion
yikes!! never heard this...only, Blue, ...I want to be Joni....I learned to train my voice with her songs...""Blue," Precious !!
Exquisite! Such a beautiful voice.
💗💖💝💖💗💖💝
Rediscovered Joni from my past and rediscovered much. From an artist to an artist , thanks.
Love Joni, love this song
Fabulous Performance! Fantastic Song! 💓.
OMG I love this song! Joni is the best!
Isn't it remarkable how music genres develop? And that there are artists within these genres who develop a distinct voice? And all the more remarkable that there are those like Joni who can simultaneously transcend that genre with their brilliance.
Refined and intensely poetic. Beautiful!
Absolutely charming.....
Beautiful Joni, beautiful music, beautiful words
This is such a beautiful song, anytime it frequents me in mind and heart.eye see such narrative brought to life in my own experience. :)
everyday I thank god for lending the world such a beautiful soul and I thank Joni for sharing her talent with us. visited Saskatoon in 76 and wish I could have run in to her back then. love you joni
Having been in love with a few artists I feel this deeply. Every hair on my body stands on end from the melodies in this song
Alistair she also taught boys and girls a lot of beautiful vocabulary
perfection, bliss.
I wish you could adopt me so I could be by your side to paint and sing. I remember in high-school trying to master all your songs.You voice so pure, your thoughts sublime.
I feel like I've been living in a cave without other artist. Love you.
perfect performance
Singing about Leonard Cohen!
Seems like he got in to scientology for a bit
where did you get this from?
That single-person clap is hilarious
that's why she made the comment, "I guess there's one here". God she was so cute, how could you not help but fall in love with her.
Gracious in every sense of the word.
That little laugh after "changed you with religion"
Magnificent! Thank you
this was edited out of the bbc tv broadcast show.. amazing.. where's the rest? there must be lots of stuff on their archives.. thanks for posting !
This is wonderful!
Truly a song about a lovely woman, unaware of the noses greed and her disillusion.
At least she learned from it.
Another one of her many songs about her relationship with Leonard Cohen.
Never knew........must have had some deep conversations. What other songs? Thanks
angel
THAT'S JUST WHAT I WAS THINKING. AND I'M NO ROMANTIC. ANGEL.....
Lovely
Beatiful
Still leaves me spellbound
Excellent.
Beautiful Jony, genius xxx
An angel
work that crowd, joni.
Does she know how much you love her
Did you mean , we, l wonder
Yes, 😔 sorry.
Te amo.
❤
0:21 lol she looked so freaked out when she heard that scientologist clap
Leonard Cohan
like a collection of dead butterflies
or The Picture of Dorian Gray
mirror to herself who wanted to be portaited and throw away the rest of the portraits
They've monitored your brain, you say
And changed you with religion - The Scientology reference...
SOOOO manny "songs" , !
It's her carousel.
The Don Bradman of everything not cricket !
Is this song about L. Ron Hubbard?
No, but she is referring to being changed by religion. There were a lot of Scientologists living in and around Laural Canyon in the late 60s.
I Really despise that this lovely singing followed by our presumptive pres in ad. Totally makes me not want to tune in to U tube!
Little tip for that: before you watch a video, slide the scrubber to the end of the end of the video and press replay and this time there will be no ads!
JUST FRIENDS BAND JOHNNIE AND JOE BLUE EMOTIONS BAND ACYRESS KATE MOSS YALE UNIVERSITY 1982 NURSE 3D MOVIE I AM A CAMERA MARKSMAN TO BE ON THE MARK SONGS
I don't think this song is really about Scientology but a guy who is a rat who has the tables ironically turned on him.
I gave you all my pretty years
Then we began to weather
And I was left to winter here
While you went west for pleasure
It is somewhat autobiographical about one of her former lovers.
It's about Leonard Cohen, who was into Scientology for a while, a little before he and Joni dated
10 Trump supporters.
David Peterson i'm a Trump supporter and i love Joni. nothing too do with politics.
Robert Rockwell Well you have good taste in music but you support a Russian pawn and traitor.
@@Dinkys999 Thank you for reminding me why I voted for Trump as a Bernie supporter. The incessant toxicity is a disease on this planet. Here is purity of spirit and your inner filth must be projected onto an innocent person. And by the way, Trump won in a landslide because of this sociopathic behavior.
More like 75 million supporters. Lots better President than Biden who has failed miserably in only 9 months.
@@suzycreemcheeze446 yeah he won in a landslide. In your tiny brain. Now he in deep doo doo and no one to bail him out. Send him your money sucker.
