Joni Mitchell Shares Previously Unreleased 'Like Veils Said Lorraine'

Joni Mitchell recently shared the previously unreleased “Like Veils Said Lorraine,” a song she wrote between 1971 and 1972.

Mitchell probably wrote the song for her fifth studio album For the Roses.

“‘Life is like veils you tear off,’ said Lorraine/ ‘No, it’s walls we put up,’ said that tired voice again,” Mitchell sings.

The song will feature on Mitchell’s upcoming box set Joni Mitchell Archives, Vol.3: The Asylum Years (1972-1975), which is due out on October 6th.

The box set follows Mitchell’s earlier archival releases, 2020’s The Early Years (1963-1967) and 2021’s The Reprise Albums (1968-1971).

Earlier this year, Mitchell released the live album, At Newport, which documents her surprise appearance at the 2022 Newport Folk Festival.
