Joni Mitchell

Fantastisk dame - med nydelige sanger og ikke minst tekster! Utrolig mange bra coverversjoner av låtene hennes også!

Har lyst til å dele min absolutt favoritt - som er Both Sides Now:

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

Den er så nydelig den sangen! Jeg liker nyeste versjonen hennes best, høres mer troverdig ut etter som hun har blitt litt eldre. Kjempefin...

Hege sa...

Enig med du!
Den er trist og ikke-trist på engang faktisk den sangen! Rett og slett en god sang! :)

Den er rett og slett sann. :)
