全世界最悲傷的一首耶誕歌曲
It’s coming on Christmas
They’re cutting down trees
They’re putting up reindeer
And singing songs of joy and peace
Oh I wish I had a river...I could skate away on
這一首RIVER出自Joni發行於1971年的專輯BLUE，雖然這首歌曲從來未曾以單曲的形式問世，卻被認定為Joni Mitchell所有歌曲當中的經典Top 10。太多藝人都喜愛翻唱灌錄此曲（請參考如下），或許是因為在一堆熱鬧滾滾或傳統宗教耶誕音樂的轟炸之下，一首真正發自內心的清醒、自省的佳節歌曲，在夜深人靜時，在獨自佇立時，唱給了那些沒有理由強顏歡笑的孤單靈魂聆聽。
在這個一年當中，美國人最忙碌紛擾的時節，這個分享愛與歡樂的季節，在五彩繽紛的裝飾背後，有時候不必假裝自己真的是快樂得不得了．．．

你是對的，我是錯的
我在不下雪的舊金山街頭行駛過
Cable Car的鈴聲像是馴鹿應景的聲響
依稀感受得到東岸的冷與路旁堆積的雪
這裡沒有可以逃避的冰封河流
我相信你現在是快樂的
果真如此，那就是此刻最美好的一件事

It’s coming on Christmas
They’re cutting down trees
They’re putting up reindeer
And singing songs of joy and peace
Oh I wish I had a river
I could skate away on
But it don’t snow here
It stays pretty green
I’m going to make a lot of money
Then I’m going to quit this crazy scene
I wish I had a river
I could skate away on
I wish I had a river so long
I would teach my feet to fly
Oh I wish I had a river
I could skate away on
I made my baby cry
He tried hard to help me
You know, he put me at ease
And he loved me so naughty
Made me weak in the knees
Oh I wish I had a river
I could skate away on
I’m so hard to handle
I’m selfish and I’m sad
Now I’ve gone and lost the best baby
That I ever had
Oh I wish I had a river
I could skate away on
I wish I had a river so long
I would teach my feet to fly
Oh I wish I had a river
I made my baby say goodbye
It’s coming on Christmas
They’re cutting down trees
They’re putting up reindeer
And singing songs of joy and peace
I wish I had a river
I could skate away on
★Heart於西雅圖的現場專輯，其中RIVER的詮釋的既激昂又內省
★當今最紅的聲樂女高音Renee Fleming以Jazz/Cabaret的方式來詮釋RIVER
★與Joni Mitchell同為加拿大籍的Sarah McLachlan的RIVER有ANGEL的味道
★Madeleine Peyroux and k.d. lang對唱的RIVER淡得像是褪色的記憶
