I agree with you Bob. What I have discovered, in addition to this notion of
relating my own experiences to her words, is that the meaning for each song can
change with time. Today, I am enjoying Joni songs from Blue for example in a
whole new way. I can associate them with the joy I feel inside as I am filled
with love in my heart rather than sadness. A Case of You comes to mind. I am
hearing those lyrics in a completely different way.
I support anyone who wishes to seek meaning and take sanctuary within Joni's
songs. To discover a connection, a sense of "I'm not alone in this" is a
wonderful thing which can bring great relief in times of trouble. That's the
draw. That is one of many reasons why I love her lyrics and music so much.
