Both Sides Now

Publicada por bulgari



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 they 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 that you feel
as every fairy tale comes real; I've looked at love that way.
But now it's just another show. And 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 that 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, and they shake their heads, and they tell me that
I've changed.

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.

Adoro esta música da Joni Mitchel. Já ouviste a versão da Maria João e do Mário Laginha? Também gosto muito. Excelente escolha!

Se tivesse que eleger, a música que mais gosto, num universo de milhares. Seria sem dúvida esta, pela música e pela letra. No meu perfil está o clip de audio. Desconheço é a versão da Maria joão/Mário Laginha, vou procurar.
Beijos e Boa semana.

Para além da poesia, também boa escolha musical, permite-me exceptuar "David Fonseca", que não gosto.
