Blake, James - A Case Of You Lyrics






Just before our love got lost you said
"I am as constant as a northern star"
And I said "Constantly in the darkness
Where's that at?
If you want me I'll be in the bar"

On the back of a cartoon coaster
In the blue TV screen light
I drew a map of Canada
Oh Canada
With your face sketched on it twice
You're in my blood, you're my holy wine
You taste so bitter and so sweet

Oh I could drink a case of you darling
I would still be on my feet
I would still be on my feet

Oh I am a lonely painter
I live in a box of paints
I'm frightened by the devil
And I'm drawn to those ones that ain't afraid

I remember that time you told me you said
"Love is touching souls"
But surely you touched mine
Cause part of you pours out of me
In these lines from time to time
You're in my blood, you're my holy wine
You taste so bitter and so sweet

Oh I could drink a case of you darling
And I would still be on my feet
Oh I would still be on my feet

I met a woman
She had a mouth like yours
She knew your life
She knew your devils and your deeds
And she said
"Go to him, stay with him if you can
But be prepared to bleed"

You're in my blood, you're my holy wine
You're so bitter, bitter and so sweet

Oh, I could drink a case of you darling
And I would still be on my feet
Oh I would still be on my feet

    The actrice in the music video has a good style.

  3. M.... ....

    What a beautiful video. Rebecca Hall is stunning. Also the light to dark, joy to sorrow. I am hard pressed to find several other great songwriters like Joni. I am aware of maybe ten or twelve others in her caliber. She said she felt like "a cellophane wrapper on a pack of cigarettes" when she wtote the Blue album. It is truly a masterpiece in her impressive oeuvre.
    Great cover Mr. Blake.

  4. N.... S....

    If a guy said "I could drink a case of you" I would pass out

  5. f.... a....

    wonderful voice

    f.... a....

    wonderful and underrated

  6. J.... F....

    I hate this ngl

  7. M.... D....

    nothing compared to diana krall's version or, especially, the original by the songwriter, joni mitchell..

    M.... D....

    Sorry, mate, while it doesn't compare to the original, this cover beats Krall's by a country mile.

  8. S.... L....

    She said it's Scars of time, man you should be wise someday.

  9. m.... r....

    Rebecca Hall 😍😍😍😘😘😘

  10. N.... B....

    I liked Tori's cover of Joni's song better. It seems more genuine. His is too technical sounding. Maybe I'd like a live version better?

    N.... B....

    Nicholas Bednarcik this is a live version

  11. c.... ....

    Why don’t you call me

  12. A.... A....

    Mute this video... and play "Blue" by A perfect Circle.
    Perfect Match.

  13. w.... ....

    so anyway p sure i'm dying alone

  14. P.... ....

    Love, love, love.❤️❤️❤️

    To take a song this monumental and give it this much passion and swing, takes very sophisticated balls James Blake

  18. S.... A....

    Nice version and Tori's is lovely too 💖💧💜

    S.... A....

    Tori Amos has a freaking cover of Joni?!? I gotta go look it up. I love her cover of Tom Waits's "Time".

  19. W.... -....

    Joni está feliz! 💖🎶

    “The Portuguese call it saudade: a longing for something so indefinite as to be indefinable. Love affairs, miseries of life, the way things were, people already dead, those who left and the ocean that tossed them on the shores of a different land — all things born of the soul that can only be felt.” ― Anthony De Sa, Barnacle Love

    A very lovely sentiment you’ve expressed, memerable

    @Paul Tantum They are not my words, but each are cut into the marrow of my bones.... Thank You My Friend, Will

    Being portuguese, I can attest to that 🖤

    I am a new fan. So late but his voice is amazing!

    C.... ....

    Welcome. Im always new fan of Blake, because even when I listened his songs 1000 times, every time I hear something new. Its incredible. It is the other level...

  27. R.... ....

    It’s hard to tell if this is a video about the tumultuous nature of love and relationships or about mental illness highs and lows. Crushingly beautiful video

  28. d.... ....

    00:51 love that part

  29. H.... B....

    0:41 always gives me chills ❤️

  36. L.... S....

    This one is Nice but Salvador Sobral cover is so much more deep and tender ...

  37. M.... C....

    I'm very happy that the clip has gone back to youtube!!!

    M.... C....

    I know!!

  38. W.... H....

    Joni is untouchable.

    W.... H....

    This is the only cover of a Joni song I can think of that is actually worthy of the material being covered! She set the bar very high and most artists (*cough* Counting Crows) smack their foreheads on it real hard.

    W.... H....

    I certainly prefer Joni's original of Big Yellow Taxi to Counting Crows's version. More power to them though for trying.
    Prince recorded a wonderful cover of this song.

  39. S.... M....

    Why do I learn only now there's a music video for that track ? =D

    S.... M....

    me too...

  40. M.... ....

    REBECCA HALL 💖

  41. R.... M....

    This song never gets old.

  42. D.... B....

    "I remember the time you told me love was touching souls, but surely you've touched mine, 'cause part of you pours out in me in these lines from time to time..."

    Perfectly executed. So good.

  43. e.... m....

    I came here for Rebecca, but I must confess the song is very good!

  44. D.... R....

    His VOICE.

  45. E.... ....

    1:28 and 2:33 is basically me the past months.

    E.... ....

    EasyLee do you now feel better? :)

    E.... ....

    i hope u feel better.

  46. A.... M....

    What a fantastic voice...

  47. D.... A....

    Love James Blake his voice reminds me of Sam Smith tho and Sam Smith annoys me for some reason. Don't like his face ..Anyway this is a beautiful song and great cover. Not gonna compare them cuz ofc the original is a classic song but this cover is beautiful too xxxxxx

    D.... A....

    haha i feel the exact same way

    D.... A....

    I so thought this was Sam Smith.

  48. O.... B....

    How does a talentless slut like Jessie J get so much recognition and a talented young man like James Blake gets so little?

    O.... B....

    dude what is it with u and jessie j

    O.... B....

    i love James, but come on dude, have actually heard Jesse J sing? What a voice! That girl is pure talent.

    O.... B....

    No one need popular James Blake. In my opinion if James Blake will be more popular than now, it will mean that he is doing something wrong.

    O.... B....

    James is the kind of artist who will get loads of recognition waaay after his works were released due to how influential his music will be to the next generation of music.

  49. C.... ....

    Rebecca Hall <33

  50. O.... B....

    @lovelydovey0599 What are you talking about? This is a great song.

  51. R.... P....

    add to favourites

  52. t.... ....

    @mrsmoothcruiser , u more into cheeky gurls huh lmao

  53. t.... ....

    can feel his sensual tone, lovely cover xx:)

  54. C.... D....

    His voice makes me cry.

  55. O.... B....

    James Blake is much more popular than Jessie J. Jessie has practically vanished since 'Price Tag'.

    O.... B....

    nobody asked dumbfuck

  56. c.... ....

    I have no idea what this music video is about.

    c.... ....

    It's about white upper class people having a fit wife, an expensive home, an extensive wine rack, but still getting pissed off with meaningless shit! lol

  57. s.... ....

    joni mitchell touches the soul

  58. M.... C....

    amazing!!!

  59. A.... G....

    His voice is fucking shite. umad?

  60. O.... B....

    @TheFeverPitch No she is not, she is an overrated whore. James Blake is real music.

  61. d.... ....

    @StenooLive - Or they may just have different taste from you.. wow, go figure!

  62. O.... B....

    How somebody garbage like Jessie J gets so much success yet somebody as amazing as James Blake gets so little is beyond my comprehension.

    O.... B....

    dude please stop

  63. D.... D....

    I want James Blake in my mouth right now. This whole creation is just so moving.

  64. b.... ....

    i can't tell if Rebecca's facial expression at the end is sad, happy, angry... but she looks like she knows something that can't be expressed in words. i can't stop watching this vid

  65. k.... ....

    @godswiph it's not that good

  66. R.... ....

    i dont like it voice, my opinion, get over it, not everyone has your opinion

  67. R.... M....

    This video is FUCKIN AWESOME!

  68. l.... ....

    Does it justice and deserves to sing it any time he likes.

  69. t.... ....

    Only 76090 views in a week? Lady Gaga would have easily gotten roughly 4 billion visits in a day. That's sad. And people do believe THAT is art - THIS is art. This.

  70. I.... ....

    Electronic Move? Really Youtube?

  71. B.... ....

    I thinks it's great that people bring classic's like this back to life and introduce it to some who have never heard this song before. However I don't think I'm a fan of him covering, just not a fan of his voice. The video was absolutely beautiful though, I payed more attention to it than the song.

  72. g.... ....

    As both a Rebecca Hall fan and a James Blake fan, this is just wonderful. Of course, this Joni Mitchell cover was one of the coolest things to come out of music in 2011, but Rebecca's acting combined with this video's use of light is nothing short of a masterful work of art. Of course, its difficult for most people to appreciate such things in this day and age.

  73. l.... ....

    @melodyhsmg Rebecca Hall. She was great in Vicky Cristina Barcelona.

  74. m.... ....

    Who is the actress in the video ?

  75. d.... ....

    James WTF?! STOP and go back 2 old u

  76. B.... ....
