"Cactus Tree" Joni Mitchell Print

"Cactus Tree" is the final song on Joni Mitchell's debut album, Song To A Seagull. It's about a woman's need for freedom and resistance to being tied down to any social expectations or a love interest.

Every verse tells the story of a lover, identified with unique personas like "a jouster and a jester and a man who owns a store." Then every verse ends with the woman loving them and leaving them because—

“She’s so busy being free.”

The song is written in the third person, but Mitchell is an autobiographical songwriter and the female subject in the song is likely herself. Mitchell is torn over her simultaneous need for love and her need for freedom, with freedom always ultimately winning out.

This art print by Nicole Bougie is made to order on 12 x 18 heavyweight matte paper stock.
