So beautiful to read and relate so much to your interpretation! Also very fun to come at it and compare and connect because my point of view might be different but also somethings seem so universal. I am 45 and just started listening to Joni in the last year as a way to understand my mother who I lost a few years ago. Joni was her favorite from the days they were released but I could never get into her and after a shallow investigation decided she was too “wailing.” Then I gave this exact album another listen and these exact songs touch my soul profoundly. So amazing to find you writing on them! I imagine just how deep my mom’s passion in youth must have been connecting to these songs and it’s fun to imagine her dreams of futures that could have been (but were not to be). As I try and face my life at a slightly older age, I still want these things deeply in my life, the love, the joy, the freedom. It is almost like my anthem now in honor of my womanhood and my mom to remind me to fight and find these things.
Thank you for this comment, it’s wonderful how things like music can connect us to each other through families and generations! I am very sorry for your loss.
