Roberta Joan Anderson, conocida artísticamente como Joni Mitchell , es una cantante y pintora canadiense. Comenzó su carrera musical en Toronto y en el oeste de Canadá, se relacionó luego con la floreciente escena de folk de Nueva York de mediados de los sesenta. Autora de la canción icónica «Woodstock», a lo largo de los años 1970 amplió sus horizontes musicales, dirigiendo su interés hacia el pop y el jazz, para convertirse en una de las cantantes y compositoras más respetadas de finales del siglo XX. Mitchell es también una exitosa artista plástica; las portadas de casi todos sus álbumes han sido creadas por ella misma. Insiste a menudo en que la pintura era su vocación original, describiéndose a sí misma como una «pintora descarrilada por las circunstancias». Wikipedia

Joni Mitchell: Frases en inglés

“That's one thing that's always, like, been a difference between, like, the performing arts, and being a painter, you know. A painter does a painting, and he paints it, and that's it, you know. He has the joy of creating it, it hangs on a wall, and somebody buys it, and maybe somebody buys it again, or maybe nobody buys it and it sits up in a loft somewhere until he dies. But he never, you know, nobody ever, nobody ever said to Van Gogh, 'Paint a Starry Night again, man!”

You know? He painted it and that was it.

They're cutting down trees.
They're putting up reindeer
And singing songs of joy and peace.
I wish I had a river
I could skate away on”

I wanna laugh along,
I wanna belong to the living.

Wanna wreck my stockings in some jukebox dive.”

"Big Yellow Taxi"
Songs

“You go down to the pick up station
Craving warmth and beauty
You settle for less than fascination
A few drinks later you're not so choosy
When the closing lights strip off the shadows
On this strange new flesh you've found
Clutching the night to you like a fig leaf
You hurry
To the blackness
And the blankets
To lay down an impression
And your loneliness.”

So now I'm returning to myself
These things that you and I suppressed.”

In these lines from time to time.”

With a pink hotel, a boutique
