Joni Mitchel (Canadian songwriter) is 78 years old. She wrote Big Yellow Taxi in 1970. She was awarded the “Best Historical Album” at the 2022 Grammy Awards for the song and album.
“20ish stitches” is a band founded in 2022 by songwriter, composer, and bassist Anya Fenn and her friends from New Jersey, who are vocalist Amelia Quinn, and Owen Bousum on drums. They embellished Joni Mitchel’s visionary bio-diversity anthem from 52 years ago.
They paved paradise and put up a shopping mall.
With a hair salon, a boutique, and a swinging food court
Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you got 'til it's
gone
They
paved paradise and put up a shopping mall
Oh, bop, bop, bop
Oh, bop, bop, bop
They took all the trees and put em in a tree museum
And they charged the people 250 rupees and a half to see them
No, no, no
Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you got 'til it's gone
They paved paradise and put up a shopping mall
Oh, bop, bop, bop
Oh, bop, bop, bop
Hey farmer, farmer, put away your pesticides now
I don't care about spots on my mangoes
Leave me the birds and the bees
Please
They paved paradise, and put up a shopping mall
Oh, bop, bop, bop
Oh, bop, bop, bop
They make all these buffaloes, only to take their calves away
So you can consume milk and pollute our air with methane
No, no, no
Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you got 'til it's gone
They paved paradise, and put up a shopping mall
Oh, bop, bop, bop
Oh, bop, bop, bop
