Several versions of this song about infatuation were recorded by Mitchell, the best known being the one on her 1971 "Blue" album. An earlier live interpretation can be found on the live LP "Amchitka - The 1970 Concert That Launched Greenpeace". Mitchell later re-recorded the song on her 1974 live record "Miles of Aisles". In addition, an orchestral version featuring a new vocal by Mitchell can be found on her 2000 concept album, "Both Sides Now".
The song can also be found on many bootleg recordings from Mitchell's 1983 tour. The version found on "Blue" features Mitchell playing Appalachian dulcimer, accompanied by James Taylor on acoustic guitar and Russ Kunkel on drums. Kunkel is widely regarded as one of the top session drummers of the 1970s and early 1980s, working with many of the leading artists of the era including Mitchell, Bob Dylan, Neil Young, Carole King, Jackson Browne and Linda Ronstadt.
Movies in which this has featured include "Truly, Madly, Deeply", "Practical Magic", and "Waking the Dead". Mitchell declined, however, to grant permission for the rather obvious use of the song in the 2013 romantic comedy, "A Case of You". http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Case_of_You
