A Case of You
(Joni Mitchell)

“Any time I would ever slip, I would put on Case Of You, and there is not a song that could move me about the way a woman loves a man the way that song does. I wish I had written that song. I’m living that song, I should have been able to have written it.”  [Prodigy chat – September 1994]

“When I think of Joni I always think of A Case of You wrapped up in a blanket in my room that I asked the church to paint lilac, I would play this song till the candle wouldn’t drip anymore.”  [Cornflake Girl UK Limited Edition CD case]

“...I would have given my right arm to write [Joni Mitchell’s] “Case of you”: You don’t get it any better. A better song hasn’t been written. I don’t care what female singer/songwriter you throw up in my face: None has done anything in the league of “Case of You,” me included. I sing “Case of You” almost every night in concert because of that. For a woman to be able to say what that says, with that kind of addiction and yet that kind of grace, is just not done. Even Zeppelin and those guys listened to Joni. They were totally influenced by Joni.”  [Keyboards – November 1994]
