Joni Mitchell - Speechless (Two Grey Rooms Demo) chords
Start Jamming...
Seven years ago while we were working on an album
We finished playing and the drummer Vinnie Caluta said to me, Joni do you have anything else we could play?
I still feel like playing and I said, oh, I've got these piano changes, you know
We could mess around with them
We looked over to the piano in the room and there was a big X of
Masking tape on it and a sign sitting in the middle of it like a spider which said do not touch
So I said to the engineer who was very by the book.
I said Henry, you know
Can we just do one take on the piano and Henry said?
Oh, I don't think so and I said then I saw in the sign
It was Michelle Columbia who I knew I said look I'm gonna play real light.
I'm not gonna put it out a tune
You'll never know we've been here
So finally we convinced him where we could peel the tape back and we all sat down and I don't think I played it
Through maybe I did once and they charted it
I don't remember that all I know is we did one take on the song and
Nobody really was familiar with it.
And yet when it was completed the thing had a loveliness to it now.
I
Was just getting to know these
Guys this band and my husband was one of the players in it and we hadn't even begun to date
I don't think at that point but their play was very very male
It contained like a lot of humor that even if I wanted to if I got in on it with them
I would have embarrassed them.
So they're unwittingly they had created a situation in which I couldn't participate
Which made me kind of melancholy and I said Henry, you know
Set me up in the vocal booth and I'll go in and throw in a vocal
So I went in and there was an emotion in my throat
There was a kind of a sadness that you know that I couldn't play with the boys
You know not really and the fledgling melody came out in French syllabication
Long don't like you just peel that all these French syllables and for seven years
I tried to find kind of a libretto a story that would be suitable for it
And also I was attached to these vowels which aren't common in English
