The message of this song is that we always do not appreciate all that we had unless it has been taken away from us. This song reminds of of the relationship between my mom, my aunt, and my uncles toward my grandpa who died on February 1, 2024. When he was alive, they weren't very close to him and often argued with him. But when he died, they all realized how supportive my grandpa actually was to them.

I think it was just as relevent in 1970 as it is today.

Sidenote: I inherited my Nan's 5 bedroom Federation house on a quarter of an acre in the middle of Sydney. Over the years I have been made considerable offers to by the house by developers. I've always refused. Now my daughter is living there and subletting 2 bedrooms to pay for her living expenses whilst she is at university. My Dad grew up in that house, which makes 4 generations residing there at different times.

Who would have thought back in the 70's that the meaning of this song would become so relevant, powerful and meaningful 50 years later. Joni Mitchell was a visionary back then. Counting Crows and Vanessa Carlton made justice with this cover and brought back this beautful yet tragic anthem to make the people of that generation (I was a kid back then) think of the importance of caring about our planet Earth in a society that seemed to be forgeting about such principles. And they did it beautifully, paying all respect to the original song with a modern yet classy twist, not like today's covers, which only try to get a viral, shallow moment. When a talented band covers a talented arists, there's nothing to worry about. I'm happy to have been able to be part of the generation that could enjoy this and other terrific songs on the radio.

@Ndogg012

Emperor of Cartoons In order to feel nostalgia, all you need is a memory, and something that reminds you of said memory.

nos·tal·gia
noun: nostalgia; plural noun: nostalgias
a sentimental longing or wistful affection for the past, typically for a period or place with happy personal associations.

As you can see, the definition of nostalgia does not say "must be at least three or more decades ago." Nostalgia is a feeling, and emotion, and it does not matter what you think about it.

I was a kid when this song came out. I will always, ALWAYS love it. I revisited it just now, and it was the first time I had ever seen the music video. It nearly brought me to tears. The scene from 0:40-0:52 where the boy rejects the love of his grandmother hit me especially. The thing that hit even harder is that you could see that she still loved him unconditionally despite all the pain he caused her. In some ways, the fact that she loved him unconditionally made it even more painful. Despite all that pain, she still had a look of serenity on her face, as if she would forget all the pain and embrace him immediately if just came back. The boy might be ashamed of all the pain he caused her, and for this reason, stray even farther, but she is there waiting and without condemnation. This is how God loves us.

@@richardgreenwood3355 thank you! It is open to interpretation as you indicated. I think it fits with the overall theme of interpersonal disconnect we experience in our fast paced modern world. I think the grandma and her grandson example is especially pertinent because there are so many elderly people warehoused in nursing homes with no one to visit them. I think that the elderly are among the most neglected and underappreciated in our culture. Because we live in a culture that values comfort, convenience, entertainment and a fast paced mode of living, we consequently do not value the elderly because they are typically none of those things. It's the same reason why the birthrate is so low, IMHO, because children require sacrifice, sleepless nights, etc. The way we live in our society keeps us in a perpetual adolescence and doesn't really allow us to grow up or "smell the flowers" and appreciate And find meaning in the little things in life that the elderly and children appreciate.

I will forever associate this song with when I was first hired as a probation officer. I felt like I had fallen into a shark tank; the people were so aggressive and non-accepting of me. I had no law enforcement or military background. My degree was in psychology. I was very different from my fellow probation officers. I started graduate school and that job the same week. It wasn't easy. It was 2002 and I remember when I was in my new office looking through my new cases (and so overwhelmed!) and putting some things on the shelves and then put on the radio. This song was playing. Little did I know that I would come to love that job and my coworkers would grow to respect me. I had to earn that. It was rough but I got through it. I regret ever leaving that job but I wanted to use my graduate degree ----and not in law enforcement. Gosh...how I regret that. It was the best job with the best supervisor and team of people you could ever ask for. Like the song says, "You don't know what you got until it's gone." Wish I would have been more prudent :-((

@@t.e.burgos3263 Supposedly a review of the cover written by The Village Voice upon its release was archived onto Joni Mitchell's website. I'm not sure if it was her who archived it or someone on her team, but I highly doubt she didn't dislike this cover. She was one of those more eccentric, artsy alternative/folk artists who didn't try to fit in any of the industry norms or boxes at the time, and she was also egotistical to a certain extent.

This song was ahead of its time. I was 7 when this came out, and I heard it on the radio and loved it, but I didn't know what it was. I had to get an adult to take me to media play and tell the worker this song I am looking for had lyrics that said, "They paved paradise, to put up a parking lot" in hopes of him recognizing it. He goes, "I know what you're talking about!" Takes me to the Counting Crows CD and tells me it's Big Yellow Taxi. What an adventure it was to just find and own 1 song that you liked. Now, you can just Google oooh bop bop bop and find 7 different ways to instantly download this song, haha.
