had an ever so brief conversation earlier today about joni mitchell. it was briefer than brief actually, it was really just a snippet of a much larger conversation. at any rate i'm going through a joni phase right now, and my boy ward has just decided to start investigating her musical and lyrical genius. another very good friend, and my musical messiah definitely did his joni homework, both musically and lyrically. at any rate i was listening to the ipod later and joni came up in whilst the ipod was shuffling. the tune was all i want, and one lyric really resonated with me....
I am on a lonely road and I am traveling
Looking for the key to set me free
Oh the jealousy, the greed is the unraveling
It's the unraveling
And it undoes all the joy that could be....
don't read to much in to that. or do, i'm still trying to make sense of it myself. at any rate, you should listen to joni today......maybe everyday.
