I remember the first time I heard this track from Joni Mitchell’s, ‘Wild Things Run Fast’ album. I was blown away. It must’ve been the late 80’s. The way she is able to weave poetry, melody and lush chords together, is so beautiful and so genius to me.
That the lyrics are the very famous and quintessential passage on love written by the apostle Paul in his letter to the Corinthians was another level of mind blown . I swore that one day I’d do a similar thing and in 2011 , recorded, ‘The Rider on the White Horse’ with Randall Waller on guitars and production. You can find it on my YouTube channel and I’ll definitely do a post of it on this website .
He did my humble song writing justice , that’s for sure. And I hope I did John’s Revelation justice as well . It’s a different style and genre to this Joni track. But if you like this, I hope you go find it and check it out .
This is my first go at this song . I think it came out alright . I’ll probably do it again with a bit more production but I’m happy for now . Gimme a thumbs up, like , subscribe and let me know your thoughts . Peace …. and Love x
