Joni Mitchell's "Blue Motel"

If I was her in an old Savannah, Georgia hotel or motel room with a blue spread or possibly a blue color scheme, I'd see that too as a possible song. I like some of the playfulness in this lyric.
Traveling for work can be a lonely business. But if it's what you do, you find constructive ways to keep sane. Sometimes that includes writing a song! (See my blog post about my song, "Phoenix Hotel" !)

I can relate. On my starred list it goes!

Starting in 2012, I began collecting songs in a custom Spotify playlist I simply called "Starred". Currently there are 408 tunes, and I continue to add to it. When I don't know what I want to listen to, I just put on the Starred list. 

With time on the road, I got on a Joni Mitchell kick. Started from album 1 and went from there. (Not all on the same day!)

"Black Crow": I was struck by the lyric on this one, the crow as a metaphor for her life on the road. Interesting chord choices to "land" her melody on . 

One wonders, "Was she really looking at the her "haggard face" in the mirror and then suddenly saw a black crow, "that ragged soul", outside the bathroom window and boom, said "I'm gonna write a song"?
