Quote by Joni Mitchell
You could write a song about some kind of emotional problem you ar

You could write a song about some kind of emotional problem you are having, but it would not be a good song, in my eyes, until it went through a period of sensitivity to a moment of clarity. Without that moment of clarity to contribute to the song, its just complaining. – Joni Mitchell
