"A Case of You" is a song by singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and painter Joni Mitchell, released on June 22, 1971. It is featured on her Blue album. "A Case of You" was written and produced by Joni Mitchell.

Joni Mitchell - A Case of You

[Verse 1]
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"

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 3]
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

[Verse 4]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 5]
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"

[Chorus]
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

"A Case of You" is a song that unsparingly grapples with conflicting feelings and complex identities. And what makes it unique and full of depth is that it somehow functions as both a breakup lament and an ode to someone, while also exemplifying very well the dichotomy of love and love lost. "A Case of You" is an artistic work and was one of the best songs ever.

"A Case of You" has been covered by more than 300 artists, including Diana Krall, James Blake, Brandi Carlile, Tori Amos, Noah Reid, which is truly a record in itself. However, I would like to say that I am very surprised that there is not much information about the song on the internet, because this song is truly a work of art. It feels like we're being unfair to some of the works, which is sad. In fact, a movie with the same name inspired by the song "A Case of You" was released in 2013, but the song and Joni Mitchell were not mentioned in the movie. Fortunately, we have the opportunity to reintroduce and share these wonderful works on the Hive blockchain. "A Case of You" is one of the epic songs that can still be among the songs I listen to even though it has been more than half a century since its release.

The voice is therapeutic and the music itself is beautiful.
I don't know if it's because of the time I listened but it sounds like a perfect lullaby.

Congratulations @yokosuna! Count me in for another round, please! Thank you so very much!

While have heard of Joni Mitchell, I was not familiar with any of her songs before this post today. A Case of You is a really beautiful song of love, loss, and longing, and I like all the iterations of it that I heard today, by her, and by others. It's hard to say which version I like best, as they're all really good. 😁 🙏 💚 ✨ 🤙
