Mitchell’s poetic ode to an inescapable love, one she knows could be wrong for her, but is now in her soul, has become one of her most enduring classics. It has never gone out of style in pop culture, having appeared in films like Practical Magic and been recorded by Prince, Tori Amos, k.d. lang, Diana Krall and more. in the 1971 review of Mitchell’s Blue, where the song first appeared, Rolling Stone wrote, “She has given us some of the most beautiful moments in recent popular music.”
