Joni Mitchell explains to Cameron Crowe in the Archives Vol. 3 liner notes: “[‘Like Veils Said Lorraine’] was a piece of dialogue that happened with the real-estate woman. I had almost found the land where I would build my little (stone-cabin) house. Lorraine was the real-estate woman who showed me properties. She had a Marlene Dietrich kind of look. She was a platinum blond and she was elegant. She had lived in China with her husband, so she was kind of worldly… and glamorous. It’s an account of our conversation. At some point, I switched to another realtor, and found the property where I would live. It was a piece of an old lumber-jack town. It wasn't on the market, but it called out to me. Houses are important to me, and I know how to pick them. I investigated it and I found out who owned it. I paid what she wanted, and she thought she took me. I thought I got a deal. (laughs) So we were both happy.”

Lyrics: ‘It's veils you tear off, one by one,’ said Lorraine ‘No, it's walls we put up,’ said that tired voice again The chisel gets blunt And the sword gets profane Nobody's blame But you bind up the stone chips In the gauze that you've slain. You get so discouraged trying to cut through it all More veils beyond veils Always walls behind the walls ‘Get back in there!’ yells the golden glove ‘When you gonna trust me,’ slams the friend ‘Learn how to bend!’ ‘Don't you worry now,’ soothes the sweet lover With his medicine hands. I don't want to grow narrow and foolish in old age And miss all that beauty The wisdom and the grace And you know you don't get that From high finance or fame - if you get stuck in that frame Or the paint that you can put On your face and your name. ‘Life is like veils,’ said Lorraine Written by Joni Mitchell

As usual, there is brilliant intellectual and emotional exploration in this writing. "The lover with medicine hands." Even if it's a bit unfinished, what a gift! FTR is more of an artist's identity album to me. Exposing the relationship with her parents was key, and the reclusion required to create. Seeing the intimate photographs of the stone cabin this week on Instagram and this track is like Christmas in September! There's such authentic warmth in the vocals and playing. Seclusion on eighty acres on the Sunshine Coast will do this. I can't remember how we connected, but Wally Breeze and I would have coast-to-coast conversations lasting hours. He'd be so proud of what the website has become. "If" Joni can stoop to build again, with worn-out tools, and produce another album, wouldn't that be a miracle? LOVE TO YOU JONI!

Conversations frequently are the spark. Whatever our art, they can cascade in unexpected ways. Sometimes leading to greatness, and sometimes dissolving before we reach a conclusion. I think over the last 50 years or so, I've been able to harvest a great deal of wisdom, which Joni pointed me to; all from conversations that she magically turned into poetry.

I'm grateful that Joni is opening her archives to us while she is still alive. She is an artist par excellence. And a treasure to Canadians like me.
