Seeing Ourselves in Joni Mitchell
Briefly

Identification with the general public has not been a major theme of the 200 or so songs Mitchell has released since 1968. Her songs offer a richness of meticulous particulars that work through universal feelings, aiming for identification with her rather than self-reflection.
Joni Mitchell once said, 'If you see me in my songs and wonder about my life, then I'm not doing a good job. If you see yourself, then I'm doing what I was meant to do.'
