Blue (Joni Mitchell song)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"Blue" is the title song from Joni Mitchell's 1971 album of the same name. There has been persistent speculation that the song is about fellow songwriter David Blue, who was a friend and possible love interest of Mitchell's when the album was released. She has denied the connection.
The lines "acid, booze and ass, needles guns and grass, lots of laughs" from Blue were sampled for a bonus track on Mac Dre's Genie of the Lamp album. The track is also sampled on "Catch My Drift", a 1989 song by the British group A.R. Kane.
[edit] Cover versions
Artists who have performed the song include Sarah McLachlan on her 1996 compilation Rarities, B-Sides and Other Stuff and Cat Power on her 2008 studio album Jukebox.
