River (Joni Mitchell song)
"River" is a song by Joni Mitchell, from her 1971 album ''Blue''. Although never released as a single, it has become one of Mitchell's most covered songs.〔
==Overview==
In the song, Mitchell ruminates on the recent breakup of a romantic relationship. Christmas is nearing, and Mitchell longs to escape her emotional bonds, openly wishing "I wish I had a river / I could skate away on", a river so long she "would teach my feet to fly." Furthermore, Mitchell's Canadian past is reflected upon, as her current warm (presumably Californian) climate does not offer her that ice or that chance. Keeping with the Christmas theme of the lyrics, the arrangement of the original song and of many other cover version, starts with a theme reminiscent of "Jingle Bells", and this theme figures several times throughout the accompaniment.
The song is used in the 2000 film ''Almost Famous'', the 2003 film ''Love Actually'' and in episodes of ''Alias'', ''thirtysomething'', ''The Wonder Years'', ''Ally McBeal'', ''New Girl'' and ''ER''. There are also numerous discussions of Mitchell's songs by Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan in the 1998 movie ''You've Got Mail.''
