| Joni Mitchell – Cold Blue Steel And Sweet Fire Lyrics | 4 years ago |
|
Cold Blue Steel is the addict, Sweet Fire is the addiction. It has been said that Joni wrote this song about James Taylor, with whom she had been involved with during the making of the album Blue. Like most addicts, James was cold and detached, unable to connect deeply with Joni because of his addiction. The dark ladder leads not necessarily to death (although it could be), but to the downward spiral of loneliness and despair that comes with addiction. |
