歌詞

[Intro]

[Verse 1]

Rows and floes of angel hair

And ice cream castles in the air

And feather canyons everywhere

I've looked at clouds that way

[Verse 2]

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

[Chorus]

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

[Verse 3]

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

[Verse 4]

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

[Chorus]

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

[Verse 5]

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

[Verse 6]

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

[Chorus]

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

[Chorus]

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

多添一點(diǎn)：

今天分享一首Joni Mitchell的《Both Sides Now》。

安靜的一天，內(nèi)心卻很澎湃。所以適合今天這首歌吧。這首歌收錄在Joni Mitchell1969年的專輯《Clouds》。這首歌是她最著名的歌曲，最初由Judy Collins首次錄制，并于1968年秋季登上美國單曲排行榜。

1969年Mitchell也自己錄制了這首作品。這首歌被數(shù)十位藝術(shù)家翻唱，包括Frank Sinatra、Willie Nelson、Gang of Youths、Herbie Hancock。2004年，《滾石》雜志將這首歌列為史上最偉大的500首歌曲中的第170首。

生活總是在意外中，有時(shí)候是意外的驚喜，有時(shí)候是意外的驚嚇。兩面看待問題，你就能更加處之泰然。面臨抉擇時(shí)隨著自己的心，愛情也是如此，給予和索取是愛情天秤的兩端，兩面看問題你就能找到平衡的秘方。面臨抉擇時(shí)依舊跟隨內(nèi)心，后面繼續(xù)兩面看待問題。所以，這首歌是可以讓你冷靜下來理性思考的歌曲。

在接受《洛杉磯時(shí)報(bào)》采訪時(shí)，作者Joni Mitchell說：“寫這首歌的時(shí)候我在飛機(jī)上讀Saul Bellow的《雨王亨德森》(Henderson the Rain King)，在書的開頭，雨王亨德森也在飛機(jī)上。在去非洲的路上他往下看，看到了一些云。我放下書，望向窗外，也看到了云，我立刻開始寫歌。我沒有想到這首歌會(huì)如此受歡迎?！?/p>
