※ 引述《Topanga (Gil's Gal)》之銘言：
: 上上禮拜 Syd 跑去跟她爸爸說她發現聖誕節計畫的事，
: 說她永遠不會原諒他剝奪她選擇權利那一段的配樂，
: 叫做 River.
: 之前是在 Ally 裡面聽到的，（那時是由小勞勃道尼翻唱，不知原唱是誰）
: 我覺得是首很好聽可是很悲的歌...
: I wish I had a river..
: Coz I made my baby say goodbye...
: 這首歌不知道是不是跟聖誕節有關係？
: Ally 裡面好像是出現在聖誕專輯，Alias 裡面又跟聖誕節計畫有關...
: 還是我想太多了.........^^"
River by Joni Mitchell, Album "Blue"
在歌詞中可以看到的確跟Xmas有關
這也是少數感傷的耶誕節歌曲
電子情書裡也用過這首歌來表達Meg Ryan的心境
Blue 不但是 Joni Mitchell 個人最重要的作品
就算放到整個民謠歌手的範籌來看
也是張光芒耀眼的重要經典
而這張專輯早在1971年就已發行
彼時我連出生都還沒呢
一張專輯可以賣30年還讓人念茲在茲
該專輯之傑出不言可喻
(不過老麥的Kind of Blue賣了40年也才全球賣50萬張,算了我啥都沒說...)
而這當中, 我覺得 river 還不是最好的一首歌
A case of you 才是最經典的一曲
遺憾的是台灣市面找不到這張專輯
購買的管道除了小量專單引進外
大概就只有請店家代訂或是自行上網購買了
話多了點, 不過實在是因為我太愛瓊妮阿姨的這張專輯了
River
lyrics/compose/sing by Joni Mitchell
It's coming on Christmas
They're cutting down trees
They're putting up reindeer
And singing songs of joy and peace
Oh I wish I had a river
I could skate away on
But it don't snow here
It stays pretty green
I'm going to make a lot of money
Then I'm going to quit this crazy scene
I wish I had a river
I could skate away on
I wish I had a river so long
I would teach my feet to fly
Oh I wish I had a river
I could skate away on
I made my baby cry
He tried hard to help me
You know, he put me at ease
And he loved me so naughty
Made me weak in the knees
Oh I wish I had a river
I could skate away on
I'm so hard to handle
I'm selfish and I'm sad
Now I've gone and lost the best baby
That I ever had
Oh I wish I had a river
I could skate away on
I wish I had a river so long
I would teach my feet to fly
Oh I wish I had a river
I made my baby say goodbye
It's coming on Christmas
They're cutting down trees
They're putting up reindeer
And singing songs of joy and peace
I wish I had a river
I could skate away on
