Music: "Both Sides, Now," Joni Mitchell

This is one of my favorite songs. 
I love the lyrics & the meaning.

 I use this song as an answer to, 
"What's the Theme Song to Your Life?"

I really like that question, because the answer
is ever-changing. There's a lot of songs that could be the theme
song(s) of our life. I could do a whole blog post on that ;)
So happy to see it over on my bloggy friend's blog, today :)
We actually chose two different versions, 
but it's the same song, same singer.


Have a listen...






Lyrics: Both Sides Now, Joni Mitchell

Bows 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

Someone as beautiful, smart and funny as you are must have something to say about this, right? ;) So, what do you think?
