If only all art and audience could efface the distance inherent between them and make that communication complete. @echoes.notes talking about @jonimitchell
“For Mitchell, songwriting was never just autobiography – it was a mirror. She believed the power of art lies in its ability to dissolve the distance between artist and listener, transforming deeply personal lyrics into universal truths. When people project their own emotions, heartbreaks, and revelations onto her songs, that’s when the music does its real work.
This philosophy reflects why Mitchell’s work remains timeless: her voice doesn’t demand we understand her life, but instead invites us to better understand our own.”
