Joni Mitchell - Free Man In Paris (Live) [Official Audio]

Stay In Touch with Joni …

*******************

Welcome to the official YouTube channel of Joni Mitchell, whose songs “River,” “Both Sides Now," “California,” and albums ‘Clouds,’ ‘Ladies of the Canyon’ and ‘Blue’ compose only a fragment of a multi-disciplinary artistic output that has been embraced across generations, inspired multitudes of artists, and earned every conceivable accolade.

One of the world’s most remarkable and beloved artists, Mitchell has influenced musicians across a vast cross-section of genres with her ethereal songs that reflect social and environmental ideals. The prolific singer-songwriter-painter-poet has not only written and produced her music, but also designed most of her album covers and packaging. A journey into Joni Mitchell’s artistry is one of a highly original, harmonically innovative, and emotionally charged, familiar yet fresh adventure.

Dear Joni, you've helped us all to be free. Thank you!

[lindapietrasz]

David Geffen is who this song is about... worth a mere $9 billion
You nailed it Joni. 💞

Jaco playing his fender guitar, the bass of doom.
Metallica made a documentary "Jaco: The Film" but Jaco has so many classic hits

[Verse 1]
The way I see it, he said, you just can't win it
Everybody's in it for their own gain
You can't please 'em all
There's always somebody calling you down
I do my best and I do good business
There's a lot of people asking for my time
They're trying to get ahead
They're trying to be a good friend of mine

[Chorus]
I was a free man in Paris, I felt unfettered and alive
There was nobody calling me up for favors
And no one's future to decide
You know I'd go back there tomorrow
But for the work I've taken on
Stoking the star maker machinery behind the popular song

[Verse 2]
I deal in dreamers and telephone screamers
Lately I wonder what I do it for
If l had my way, I'd just walk through those doors
And wander down the Champs-Élysées
Going café to cabaret
Thinking how I'll feel when I find
That very good friend of mine

Questa canzone, ha per me uno speciale fascino avventuroso, una forza trascinante, ma delicata...live è ancora di più ❤

My friend thought he had subscribed to the channel!🎶

[hansemannluchter]

How does Joni Mitchell only have 176, 000 followers on youtube??

[lisaletto]

Seems she knew how to entertain herself with each performance, keeping songs fresh

[JulienArbor]

Who was ‘he’ that told you you’d be a free man in Paris? Waiting for best friend? Blue?

I used to love Joni Mitchells music, but than during covid she got all mean and judgmental and just awful, so now she is totally worthless to everyone. SHAME on her for being mean and nasty
