Nothing Can Be Done Lyrics

Cover art for Nothing Can Be Done lyrics by Joni Mitchell

A beautiful song, complemented by David Baerwald's (David & David, Sheryl Crow) amazing guest vocal. To me, it reflects the sadness of wanting to move past a rough period, and to continue to grow and explore... but somewhat shackled with the knowledge that past skeletons may encumber that growth.

With age comes wisdom, but also a past ("My heart is a smoking gun") and scars ("There are no victimless crimes... In these grafitti ruins").

One of my favorite "Joni"s.
