Carly Paoli - Both Sides Now (Joni Mitchell Cover)

As a lover of lyrics and words, Carly interprets Joni Mitchell’s masterpiece 'Both Sides Now'.

Accompanied by Dominic Haslam on piano, they celebrate Joni's lyrical journey through clouds, love, and life.

Lyrics
Rows and floes of angel hair
And ice cream castles in the air
And feather canyons everywhere
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

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, they're acting strange
And they shake their heads and they tell me that 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
It's life's illusions that I recall
I really don't know life
I really don't know life at all
