pasajero started out as a loving send-off to one of shane's previous girlfriends. "she was the first cousin by marriage to joni mitchell. it was meant as a 'hey no blame to this which we shared.' but it gradually morphed into something different and more amalgamous. there was an understanding that this was not meant to be, or to go further, which is good if you know before you ever tie the knot. it was joni mitchell herself who coined the phrase, "leave the dream no blame" and that is the aim, the warp and warble of this song's genesis.
