May 24, 2010 - just think of what a world we could live in if everybody did get along, all of our tax dollars going to fix the enviornment, make life better for humans, and not towards building war machines world wide.

Sep 7, 2010 - it's supposed to sound like that

heimdallhinfrode Says:

Sep 19, 2010 - I know that it's a non-standard tuning if that's what you mean. My point is that one of the strings is slightly and very audibly off.

Oct 24, 2010 - I had never heard the story behind this song until now. This takes my breath away. All her songs had pertinence and as a young woman in the 70s I clung to all hersongs and gently molded who I became through the lyrics and sounds of Joni Mitchell.

Jan 20, 2011 - Now we have the Vatican standing firm covering up habitual widespread pederasty by the priesthood. It goes to show how a corporation will use completely unethical means to protect its own interests and cover up its sins. And where is God in that? Maybe it's time for the good Catholics of the world to take back the Church from its self-styled holy men.

Jun 16, 2011 - I love Joni, but my first thought when she started was, "I've never heard her guitar out of tune before." Wonderful song and person. peace.

Jul 31, 2011 - I did not realize this was a song about something real until I searched for it on Youtube. The song just always moved me, but I did not really know it was about something true. Holey moley.

Aug 7, 2011 - if you really look into it & knowing the catholic church was behind it ,, it makes you ashamed to be catholic ,, i hope all those who passed through these places find peace in their lives xx

Sep 30, 2011 - JONI'S SONGS ARE TYPICALLY WRITTEN ABOUT TRUE LIFE EVENTS AS SEEN THROUGH HER INSIGHTFUL EYES.

Nov 7, 2011 - Then you ought to appreciate the magnificent left-handed strumming by Barbara Lynn in the video of her live performance of «You'll Lose A Good Thing»! Worth checking out!

Dec 3, 2011 - Just saw the movie The Magdalene Sisters.... as sad as it was the included documentary on the DVD was just heart wrenching.... a lesson for us all to question everything and everyone including ourselves.... and to think for ourselves...

Dec 26, 2011 - I'm a guy, and as much as I may play hyper-masculine testosterone charged heavy music live, I have to say that I wouldn't dare to cover this song live. I won't be able to carry through without bursting into tears.

Jan 9, 2012 - Such a powerful song. Those poor women and what they had to endure. Life is cruel.

writer4peace Says:

Jan 12, 2012 - Such power and compassion.

dunedinman50 Says:

Mar 22, 2012 - The Album version of this song is superb, guitar, bass,Joni's voice, one of the most emotive songs she has ever made, the thing that is sad about all this business,is that no one is held to account for all the misery caused by the Magdalene Laundry 'system', treating pregnant single Mothers in this way, was abominable in the extreme.
