 - both sides now (chanson angl) 1967@.jpg)
From up and down and still somehow
It's cloud's illusions I recall
Mitchell a écrit "Both Sides, Now" en mars 1967, inspiré par un passage de Henderson the Rain King, un roman de 1951 de Saul Bellow. Au début du livre, Henderson the Rain King est aussi dans un avion. Il est en route pour l'Afrique et il baisse les yeux et voit ces nuages. J'ai posé le livre, j'ai regardé par la fenêtre et j'ai vu des nuages aussi, et j'ai immédiatement commencé à écrire la chanson. Je n'avais aucune idée que la chanson deviendrait aussi populaire qu'elle l'a fait.
"Both Sides, Now" est une chanson de Joni Mitchell et une de ses chansons les plus connues. Enregistré pour la première fois par Judy Collins en 1967, il est ensuite apparu sur l'album Clouds de Mitchell en 1969. Elle a ré-enregistré la chanson dans une version plus riche et orchestrée pour son album 2000 Both Sides Now; cette version a ensuite été présentée sur la bande originale du film 2003 Love Actually.
Rolling Stone a classé "les deux côtés, maintenant" # 171 sur sa liste des 500 plus grandes chansons de tous les temps.
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's 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 laughin' 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
But 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
