Lyrics:
Rows and flows of angel hair
And ice cream castles in the air
And feather canyons everywhere
I've looked at clouds that way
But now they only block the sun
They rain and snow on everyone
So many things I would have done
But clouds got in my way
I've looked at clouds from both sides now
From up and down, and still somehow
It's cloud illusions I recall
I really don't know clouds at all
Moons and Junes and Ferris wheels
The dizzy dancing way you feel
As every fairy tale comes real
I've looked at love that way
But now it's just another show
You leave 'em laughing when you go
And if you care, don't let them know
Don't give yourself away
I've looked at love from both sides now
From give and take, and still somehow
It's love's illusions I recall
I really don't know love at all
Tears and fears and feeling proud
To say "I love you" right out loud
Dreams and schemes and circus crowds
I've looked at life that way
Oh but now old friends are acting strange
They shake their heads, they say I've changed
Well something's lost but something's gained
In living every day
I've looked at life from both sides now
From win and lose and still somehow
It's life's illusions I recall
I really don't know life at all
I've looked at life from both sides now
From up and down and still somehow
It's life's illusions I recall
I really don't know life at all

For me, i always liked joni's stuff throughout my life but certain phrases obtain meaning in my own life experiences and breathes new life into the song and i realize "oh crap, she felt that way in life too, and thats just human experience." I circle back and think duh thats what she writes and thats how she gets ya!.

I traveled down to be with my Dad and sister this weekend because my Mom was passing away from medical complications. I was listening to this song on the way and it brought back a wonderful memory of my Mom. I was at my parents some years back and had shared this version of Both Sides Now...and my Mom was listening and started singing along. Growing up in the 70's, this was a very popular song played often on the radio. I had not heard this song for many years until I stumbled onto this version. I did not realize how much this song meant to my Mom. My Mom passed away that evening on the day I traveled down. I was not able to see her and say goodbye, because during the hospitalization...she had also contracted covid. It really hurts not being there with a family member when they pass away. But...I thank God that this song has given me a very special memory and moment that I shared with my Mom. Thanks for this song and upload...it has touched me and my Mom.

Joni M is my favorite artist...I dove into her well of song and poetry at age eighteen and haven't escaped since. The well is deep and muddy... It is extremely rare that an artist does a Joni song justice. You have more than accomplished that feat here. Your respect for her is clear. The strings of your guitar, the hexagram of the heavens. Thank you for this gorgeous rendition of, yes, the greatest song ever written.
@alancleveguy7792
@alancleveguy7792 3 года назад
I agree Joni M is a genius and this may be the best song. But, another of hers might also be the best---River. She opens up and takes all the blame for what happened in River. Incredible. And someone else does that song justice, too. Sarah MacLachlan did a beautiful cover of that.

@51Dss
@51Dss 5 лет назад
This is the best cover of Both Sides Now that I have ever heard. It is now my favorite version. I think what I appreciate most about it is that you let the words speak as they were meant to be spoken when they came to Joni Mitchells hand/heart. There is authenticity in this version that is not there in any other versions I have listened to. It always seemed to me that the better, or more profound a lyric was written most singers do not really hear or understand the universality in the passage. Too often it seems singers will take a song that if left to express itself comes out like a meditation on a profound realization about some experience (Oh! This is what I thought love was but I now see - I have no idea what love means...) and turn it into some version of their own preconceived idea about what love or life might be to them personally - not universally necessarily. Also they tend to embellish the music around the lyrics as if the lyrics and the basic music were not sufficient to understand just how meaningful the song is to the singer. Sometimes a singer uses what is otherwise a beautiful song/thought/feeling as a showcase for their own vocal prowess - showing off vocal range and gymnastics and the song is lost leaving me standing there with open hands still waiting for the gift in the song that was really stolen away.

You have no idea how your music has inspired me. I first saw you on NPR Tiny Desk. Since, I have seen every KEXP performance and of course I have listened to each TMOE track an uncountable number of times. I've always wanted to write music, but have stopped and started many times without success. You came into my view and I was compelled to study your music. You introduced me to alternate tunings. You have taught me a great deal about imagery and song-craft in general. I have a folder of Word Docs dissecting your songs, looking for lessons and patterns. It has given me a solid place to build my own skills and stretch my own creativity. I have even recorded an album that I am very proud of, a long-standing life goal. So, thank you. Really. You've given me more than I can repay. I am loving the series so far. Keep it up.

Been listening to your incredibly soulful music for roughly the past decade maybe and I draw on it a lot in my own fingerpicking exploits but as of late I hadn't been, I'm not sure why. I have a weird habit of obsessing over music non stop and then finding something new, and then I always return to my songs of the past that I love and it's almost as though I'm hearing them again for the first time. I remember working outside doing landscaping maybe 7 or 8 years ago with the sun beaming through the tall pines and having your playlist on repeat for days at a time. Always felt such peacefulness in that place. Thanks to my current Gregory Alan Isakov music fetish and RU-vid suggestions I just happened to stumble back to you the night after a deep dive into Joni Mitchells discography(seriously creepy timing)...It turns out I wept a few tears of joy last night and again today. Thank you sir for doing her song more than justice.
