DESCRIPTION:
Marcie (originally The Ballad In Red And Green). Filmed at the Café Au Go Go, New York. October 26, 1967. Joni says of Leonard Cohen: "I think I'm Cohen influenced. I wrote Marcie and thought that it wouldn't have happened if it hadn't been for Suzanne, which is another character sketch song."

......the song is such a balanced blend of a strong string of images and a haunting tune. -ZigZag, September 1970

"My song Marcie has a lot of him [Leonard Cohen] in it... Marcie is a real girl, she lives in London. I used her name, because I wanted a two-syllable name. But I'm the girl in all these songs." -Melody Maker, September 1968
