Both Sides, Now - by Joni Mitchell

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 ev'ry 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
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

2006年9月27日下午5:41第一次將Judy Collins 的輕快版本放到自己的博客，上面只放了一張三個女孩的照片。

2011年9月9日，自己寫的當年加入服務社團理由，被上載到社團歷史國際聯誼會的網頁，想到自己加入「大家庭」有20年，看到服務社團的Both Sides，百感交集，涕淚連連，就想到這歌。

我第一次聼的時候，還是個小不點，只覺得旋律動聽，二十多嵗知道歌詞說甚麽了，也體驗了當中對愛情憧憬幻滅的失望，2006年想到這首歌，是因爲朋友情誼生疏的無奈，今天聼了，是20年來看見社團某些人的講一套，做一套，知道不應該失望，卻難免有些感慨。

不知道Joni相隔30年，再重新灌錄Both Sides Now 的時候，會不會都感慨？！
