Joni Mitchell - Big Yellow Taxi (Official Lyric Video)

Gratitude.

Joni Mitchell never lies.

just a awesome song relevant today 2024 as it was in 1970.

I always cry when I hear this song! Joni, you have shaped my heart 💕

This song is like a band aid for my breaking heart. Thank you Joni Mitchell 🙏🌼🌻🌸🏵🥀🐝🐝🐝🐞🐦🐦🐦🐦👣🦋💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚

I had this sing pop up in the middle of an assignment where the main characters dad loves this song so my teacher put thus as a link in the assignment so we cn understand why he loves it

That was Big Yellow Taxi by Joanie Mitchell, a song in which Joanie complains that they paved paradise to put up a parking lot. A measure which actually would have alleviated traffic congestion on the outskirts of paradise. Something, which Joanie singularly fails to point out, perhaps because it doesn’t quite fit in with her blinkered view of the world. Nevertheless, nice song.

Reminds me of Stephen King's "Yellow Low Men". The Beelsebubs. Lord of the Flies.

down in southern Florida

Sweetheart. Welcome to My world ❤❤❤❤

The Counting Crows version is more popular then the original song

The songs ok but she can’t sing to save her life.

F'n great song! I heard both versions. Sorry, like second.

Amo essa música ❤ Feliz Natal ❣️

Why is this song on my book… we listened to it in the class

The BEST that Joni Mitchell made.

Thank you Joni!! Merry Christmas ⛄

Why is it called Big Yellow Taxi when that line is just used once? Should be called Paved Paradise

Becoming one of my top ten records. I love it.

Шикарно,вы настоящая королева!)❤❤❤

I forgot about this song until I heard it on It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia

Love the animation!

S&M BIKES!!!!

I had no idea the Counting Crows were covering Joni Mitchell all this time! Great song.

Ciao, mi chiamo Cecilia e mi hanno dato questa canzone da cantare per compito a scuola! è molto bella ❤saluti e abbracci dall italia.

A little rewrite:
They paved Palestine and put up a parking lot.
With a pink genocide, bombs and a flaming hot spot!
Don't it alway seem to go
That you've got no where to go 'cause its gone
They paved Palestine and put up a parking lot!
They took all the children and put 'em in a mausoleum
And they charged all the people an arm and a leg just to see 'em
Don't it alway seem to go
That you've got no where to go 'cause its gone
They paved Palestine and put up a parking lot!
Hey Farmer Farmer put away that plow now
'Cause the settlers are coming and you're going to die anyhow.
Don't it alway seem to go
That you've got no where to go 'cause its gone
They paved Palestine and put up a parking lot!
Late last night I heard the screams god damn,
When A big yellow rocket came and took away my old man!
Don't it alway seem to go
That you've got no where to go 'cause its gone
They paved Palestine and put up a parking lot!
They paved Palestine and put up a parking lot!

Speechless Joni is indescibable what a visionary … 1970

My teacher keeps playing this song during class

Put the lyrics properly but readable 😢

🌱🕊✝️🤍🌈

People are bad. Your neighbor is bad
How dare you travel and heat your home.

growing up in So. Cal. in the 50's and 60's the song has never been more pertinent.

'You don't what you got till it's gone'
Yep, never has a truer thing been said

me and my brother heared this in school before

the guitar is so great , makes me happy.
using the guitar how it rings out.

Anyone from the 2000s remember when the lyric was "They paved paradise; they put up a fucking road"?

THE ONLY GOOD THING FROM ALBERTA

i freaking love this song!

One of favs

HAPPY 80th BIRTHDAY JONI

Love this with the great graphics and lyrics!

大変いい曲ですね。僕は大好きです。

700 comments is fud, lets run these numbers up

its relevant and you were ahead of your time Joni! You saw things coming, and tried to tell them.

a song in which Joni complains they paved paradise to put up a parking lot, a measure which actually would have alleviated traffic congestion on the outskirts of paradise, something which Joni singularly fails to point out, perhaps because it doesn't quite fit in with her blinkered view of the world. Nevertheless, nice song.

*a dollar and a half (not an arm and a leg) ❤

Interviewer is a wiff.

Pierre Poilievre. From all I’ve read, seems like a pretty empty suit.

This song seems brilliant. I don't know if people have interpreted it in multiple ways before or not but I really like to interpret the main part of the song with two different themes of loss.

1. Don't it always seem to go, that you don't know what you've got till its gone- The basic interpretion which reflects a gloomy side of a loss.

2. Don't it always seem to go, that 'you don't know what you've got till its gone'. -- The other interpretation which represents a little positive side of a loss.

Please share your thoughts on this

Joni Mitchell never lies

I’m surprised to see they messed up on a lyric in this video
