Songs Like A Case of You by Joni Mitchell
By Dan Cohen · Published 2026-09-05
A Case of You sits at 26 out of 100 for intensity. Underneath that: a dynamic range of 6, a tempo of 76, a smooth surface, soft vocals, and not one sudden change. Mood tags: intimate and melancholy.
An unusually clean match list
Most seeds produce matches that share one mood tag. This one produces a run of songs sharing both, inside a nine-point intensity window, all with soft vocals and no sudden changes. That is about as tight as our data gets, and it means this list behaves consistently: nothing here will jolt you.
- Daydreaming — Radiohead. Intensity 26, dynamic range 6, 78 BPM. Identical intensity and dynamic range, two BPM apart — the closest match in the catalogue.
- Nutshell — Alice in Chains. Intensity 26, dynamic range 5.
- Pristine — Snail Mail. Intensity 25, dynamic range 5.
- See You Again — Tyler, The Creator. Intensity 27, dynamic range 6, 80 BPM.
- Stay With Me — Sam Smith. Intensity 27, dynamic range 6, 84 BPM.
- Angeles — Elliott Smith. Intensity 24, dynamic range 5.
- Nothing Compares 2 U — Sinéad O’Connor. Intensity 22, dynamic range 6, 67 BPM — the gentlest and slowest here.
The one dimension that separates them
Dynamic range splits this group: the 6s (Radiohead, Tyler, Sam Smith, Sinéad) travel further between quiet and loud than the 5s (Alice in Chains, Snail Mail, Elliott Smith). If you want the flattest, least eventful listening, start with the 5s.
A Case of You appears on Joni Mitchell’s 1971 album Blue. Figures are our own measurements, read from the public API at build time. The genre and era spread is a consequence of measuring sound rather than style — it is not a claim that these artists resemble each other in any other way. No lyrics are reproduced.
