I think initially there is a bit of an intellectual affect, - well we're smart enough to like Joni - right? But it's mostly emotional for me early on. I can still remember putting Blue on for the very first time and standing in front of and over the "Hi-Fi" and swooning and feeling goosebumps. And yes sufferring from teen angst, I was often depressed and listened to her even more, wondering if that was a good idea sometimes!? But I felt like I had found my mentor. I think someone here once said it was depressing but that was what saved them/me and soothed us, as well. It was like being petted. Then once I had an understanding of Joni, and felt really into her, it did move to being a spiritual experience and finally to a deeper understanding and higher intellect, which of course we all share here. I listen to Joni - to sing with her, I listen still for my mood, and I listen still to hear something new or connect with a different part of her canvas.
That's the transition and how it played and still plays out for me. --- Relayer wrote: I've been wondering about why people listen to Joni,specifically how does Joni's music affect you on an intellectual,emotional,physical,and spiritual level?
