about

Written 50 years ago by the great Joni Mitchell.
"I wish I had a river I could skate away on" is the sentiment of this beautiful composition that includes the Jingle Bells motif and highlights the wide range of the piano. I hope you enjoy it. 🥰

Cover art is a picture of my feet from my first ice skating experience on a Holland frozen canal in February 2021. ⛸😁

lyrics

It's coming on Christmas
They're cutting down trees
They're putting up reindeer
And singing songs of joy and peace
Oh, I wish I had a river I could skate away on

But it don't snow here
It stays pretty green
I'm gonna make a lot of money
Then I'm gonna quit this crazy scene
I wish I had a river I could skate away on

I wish I had a river so long
I would teach my feet to fly
Oh, I wish I had a river I could skate away on
I made my baby cry

He tried hard to help me
You know, he put me at ease
And he loved me so naughty
Made me weak in the knees
Oh, I wish I had a river I could skate away on

I'm so hard to handle
I'm sеlfish and I'm sad
Now I've gone and lost the bеst baby
That I ever had
Oh, I wish I had a river I could skate away on

I wish I had a river so long
I would teach my feet to fly
Oh, I wish I had a river I could skate away on
I made my baby say goodbye

It's coming on Christmas
They're cutting down trees
They're putting up reindeer
And singing songs of joy and peace
I wish I had a river I could skate away on

This album saved my life countless times, so I think it's safe to say I wouldn't be here writing this if it wasn't for this album (and Jutty's music overall), which makes it even more special to me. I don't think I can find words to properly explain what makes me love this album so much, it's just impossible to put those feelings into words and, imo, that's good! Thank you for the music, Jutty, never stop doing what you do ♡ PS: Loved the bonus track!! Angela
