Joni Mitchell - "Like Veils Said Lorraine" (Unreleased Song)

[Petrichor 4,635]

One of the GOAT undisputed queens of music, the incomparable Joni Mitchell, has released a brand new, never before heard demo from her album Court and Spark, titled "Like Veils Said Lorraine."

Joni Mitchell explains to Cameron Crowe in the Archives Vol. 3 liner notes: “[‘Like Veils Said Lorraine’] was a piece of dialogue that happened with the real-estate woman. I had almost found the land where I would build my little (stone-cabin) house. Lorraine was the real-estate woman who showed me properties. She had a Marlene Dietrich kind of look. She was a platinum blond and she was elegant. She had lived in China with her husband, so she was kind of worldly… and glamorous. It’s an account of our conversation. At some point, I switched to another realtor, and found the property where I would live. It was a piece of an old lumber-jack town. It wasn't on the market, but it called out to me. Houses are important to me, and I know how to pick them. I investigated it and I found out who owned it. I paid what she wanted, and she thought she took me. I thought I got a deal. (laughs) So we were both happy.”

Part of Joni Mitchell Archives – Vol. 3: The Asylum Years (1972–1975), coming later this year.

Enjoy!
