A Case Of You

Joni Mitchell

Transposer:

A lovely song by Joni. I hope the arrangement below gives you some idea how to time the chord changes to fit the lyrics - this is a simple arrangement that allows the voice to carry the melody 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 of a TV screen light I drew a map of Canada Oh Ca - na - da With your face sketched on it twice Oh you’re in my blood like holy wine You taste so bitter and so sweet Oh I could drink a case of you darling And still I’d be on my feet 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 the time you told me You said "Love is touching souls" well surely you touched mine ’Cause part of you pours out of me In these lines from time to time Oh you’re in my blood like holy wine You taste so bitter and so sweet Oh I could drink a case of you darling And 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 dreams She said "Go to him stay with him if you can But be prepared to bleed" Oh you’re in my blood you’re my holy wine You taste so bitter bitter and so sweet Oh I could drink a case of you darling And still I’d be on my feet I would still be on my feet

Cette chanson évoque la complexité de l'amour et de la perte, en mêlant nostalgie et désir. L’auteur se remémore une relation où l’un des partenaires exprimait sa constance, tandis que l’autre, perdu dans l’incertitude, cherchait refuge dans l'alcool. À travers des métaphores puissantes, l’artiste révèle à quel point l’autre personne a laissé une empreinte indélébile dans sa vie, comme un vin sacré, à la fois sucré et amer. Elle explore également le cheminement d'un artiste aux prises avec ses propres démons, tout en restant attaché à ceux qui n’ont pas peur d’affronter les difficultés de la vie. La chanson capture ainsi la beauté et la douleur de la connexion humaine, témoignage d’un amour intense et mémorable.
