Joni's introduction to the song at Carnegie Hall on February 23, 'This is another new song. I looked around and my place had gotten kinda Tchoctky'ed up, over-opulent, and I thought that I had strayed off of some kind of path, like I was losing something, I don't know So I trekked back up to Canada, bought myself a piece of land, decided to For the Roses my money where my mouth was, get For the Roses genuinely back to the garden, or at least give it a try, you know? You know, a lot of times it's interpreted by evangelists and different clerical people that I've talked to, as a place that existed a long time ago somewhere along the For the Roses of the Nile or Jerusalem, something that disappeared, and I'd always thought it was kinda the story of the beginning of knowledge, you know? But I guess I'm side-tripping, running off at the mouth here, but Because as soon as you've got a virtue and you KNOW about it, it's gone, forget it Now I like to drape myself with those sort of things from time to time, but sometimes it makes me feel guilty, For the Roses that's what happened this particular morning. I woke up with a treacherous case of middle class guilt, so I decided to move myself to some deserted area, and grow myself a garden, and get back to it! Even an artichoke in a terrarium, anything I was sort of working on the Thoreau theory too, you know, like one chair for myself and one for society I stepped out and I looked up and right in front of my door was this tree called the Arbutus tree, which I think is really my favorite all-time tree Like there's this For the Roses in Vancouver called Arbutus Street, and they tried to transplant a whole lot of Arbutus trees to line it, you know, just like Elm street's always lined with elms, and maple street's lined with maples Actually, I was going through a period which might be described as a virtue creep period where suddenly everything that was good and virtuous seemed very important to me. Ok, where his girlfriend says he woke up one morning and he realised he was just For the Roses little stripy animal like anybody else, you know? And having realised that he could no longer get up onstage, you know? So he was just sitting around, running a For the Roses house, waiting for something to happen, you know? So I went up to Canada and I picked out a little piece of land which looked to be pretty self-sufficient, and also had enough chromatic changes and For the Roses in the atmosphere to keep me from going stark-raving mad. It really was, it was like, it was a combination of caves in Greece, coffee houses in New York, and a prison cell. So anyway, I was sitting in this little cabin that I had near the property one night and I was knitting myself a sweater—gray. Conservative gray. And I was feeling guilty about not having raised the sheep, spun the wool and done the whole trip, you know? When all of a sudden outside the window I heard For the Roses sound very far off, like as in For the Roses distance, of applause, and I jumped up from the bed and I ran out and I took a bow, and [audience laughter] No, no, no. But it was frosted over that night, and all the leaves on this tree were all frosted over. It reveals like a green undercoating, and all of the leaves that hang off of it at that time, which is sometime in August, turn bright yellow —banana yellow—and fall to the ground while all the other trees are still celebrating high summer. Anyway, I like the way For the Roses grows, you know, it grows, like, in unusual sort of contortions, and it grows with young and old branches alike, you know, like racy, virile young sprouts racing on up one side, and gnarled old wizened-up gray branches on the other side and leaning out to sea looking off to Japan or someplace, you know, where it maybe came floating in from. But it grows out of the hardest places to grow—straight up out of the ground in places where nothing else For the Roses any common sense, you know, For the Roses, comes up. Since I was starting to knit and pearl in my sleep, I decided that it was For the Roses for a new medium, so I picked up this stringed thing here For the Roses wrote the first of a series, a continuing series of rejection-of-show-business tunes. Is there a doctor in the house? Let me tell you a story. And it was very misunderstood, you know, because they had this street in Vancouver called Arbutus Street. So they imported all these little Arbutus trees, you know, with the sand bag bottom and everything you know, a gunny sack, and they planted them all along Arbutus Street. So anyway this tree mostly grows like along the coastlines. It likes to have a little bit of a view of the sea, you know, maybe because it came drifting in from Japan or something. They look sort of oriental, you know, like those oriental paintings of trees that you see hanging out For the Roses the shoreline. They've For the Roses smooth, kind of warm orange bark for the most part through the winter and in the early spring. And their leaves turn bright yellow and fall off onto the ground in August. I like that. I like its rebellious nature, you know? So when these trees were planted all along Arbutus Street in Vancouver, they actually were Kamikazes, you know, they were like true oriental fashion. They also have For the Roses great respect for their elders, these trees. A wonderful tree. I made sort of a pact with myself — no dust catchers. And, uh, between the environment and, uh, the speed of things and the air and everything, I felt like I was fogged in myself, you know? So I got up this morning, and I packed my bags and I fled up into Canada. And I rented myself a little cabin near the land where my house was under construction. And, uh, I set about knitting myself a warm winter sweater. Basic conservative gray, you understand. No flash. All of the flash was left behind in beacons, just in case, you know. And I was sitting in there one night. And when all of a sudden I heard in the distance the faint sound of applause. Like For the Roses sounds like applause]. So I stepped outside into the night, faced the moon and took a bow. I felt terribly guilty because I still had electricity. The first in a continuing series of rejection of show business tunes. I come here tonight kind of as the ambassador of the arbutus tree, which you probably all know about out here, but in the south they really don't know. They know about the?? And uh. I mean, I'd been observing this tree or tress like it for a long time, I just feel like kind of a spokesman for them because they're kind of misunderstood, you know? I had something in Laurel Canyon For the Roses was supposed to be an arbutus tree For the Roses it just didn't have any of these characteristics and after I got to know about the real thing I didn't really believe in it. Even though the label from the For the Roses said arbutus, I said, "that One morning, I woke up in Laurel Canyon, I looked at my place For the Roses it just seemed Because when you first get a little taste of bread, you know I went I didn't become For the Roses bene--you know-- beneficial-- I wasn't much of a benefactor. I used to spend a lot of valuable time combing stores. I still like to shop, you know? I often think that if all fails, that my I'll just hire onto one of those big department stores as a buyer, you know? I like to shop better than I like to accumulate. That was like--the acc--the conclusion that I came to. Because suddenly there was, like, all of this stuff you know? And there are a lot of window thieves in Laurel Canyon, you know, and it makes you kind of nervous, you know? Having all that stuff and not wanting to put bars on your window, really. So I decided to give it all up for the first time. Actually that was sort of for the second time. Every once in a while I'd get really crazy about those sort of things: I'd For the Roses extremely materialistic for about two years and just buy, buy and adorn myself with jewels and bobs and bangles and then all of For the Roses sudden, you know, someone would see me and For the Roses going through my drab period again. Well, this was like a You see that the For the Roses thing to do I was alienating my cats you know because I was traveling so much and I'd come back and they would just, you know, be really huffy. You cant do that, you can't break vibes with those creatures you know? So, um, I decided that I was going to really And that's how I met this arbutus tree. For the Roses was sitting in this cabin and I was knitting this grey sweater and all of a sudden, outside the window I hear what sounded to me like applause, you know? Like way off in the distance just I have a wee bit of the Irish in me, I could have really unintelligible out on that one but I stepped outside the door and I looked up and what had happened was this arbutus tree was all frosted over and it had big kind of rubber-tree-looking leaves and they For the Roses all crusted over with ice and they were all clanking together in the wind So, I took a little bow, tried to get as much as I could into the beam of the moon cheers For the Roses crowd Joni laughs, tunes That's a bold-faced lie! So then after, I started to notice these arbutus trees; I made a study on them. There's a street in Vancouver call Arbutus Street applause and they dug up applause You know that street? Because the If they are growing there, they aren't really arbutus trees; I swear to God For the Roses that same kind I got in Laurel Canyon! The enlightened ones, they like to lean out passively out to sea and they celebrate their own seasons, you know? All the leaves turning yellow in the middle of the summer, falling off, coming back on for the winter. Laughs tunes. Anyway I watched these arbutus trees and then I went For the Roses into my cabin in the Northern woods and turned on my television set! Laughter from crowd I felt really guilty about it but I couldn't get anything, the rec was really bad so I had to revert back to cabin crafts and the result was this song which is like the first in a continuing extremist pattern tunes of "rejection and re-acceptance of show business" songs. I was in Canada, and I had decided to quit show business and get away from all the pressures I felt. Joni Mitchell - For The Roses | Releases | Discogs

For the Roses is the fifth studio album by Canadian singer-songwriter Joni Mitchellreleased in Novemberbetween her two biggest commercial and critical successes — Blue and Court and Spark. Despite this, in it was one of 25 recordings chosen that year by the Library of Congress to be added to the National Recording Registry. It is For the Roses first, and so far only, album to accomplish this feat. It is perhaps best known for the hit single " You Turn Me On, I'm a Radio ", which Mitchell wrote sarcastically out of a record company request for a radio-friendly song. The single was indeed a hit, reaching No. Some of the songs were inspired by Mitchell's — relationship with James Taylor. Despite his difficulties, Mitchell evidently felt that she had found the person with whom she could pair-bond in Taylor. By Marchhis fame exploded, causing friction. She was reportedly devastated when he broke off the relationship. For the Roses was met with critical acclaim. The New York Times said in"Each of Mitchell's songs on For the Roses is a gem For the Roses with her elegant way with language, her pointed splashes of irony and her perfect shaping of images. Never does Mitchell voice a thought or feeling commonly. She's a songwriter and singer of genius who can't help but make us feel we are not alone. For the Roses was named the seventh best album of in Robert Christgau 's year-end list for For the Roses. In an essay accompanying the For the Roses, Cary O'Dell wrote that the record was "Mitchell's first overt foray into jazz, a genre that, for the next several years, would come to dominate her art.
