Both Sides, Now (Joni Mitchell Cover feat. Jennifer Egloff)

from Diamonds and Plastic by Reuben Walton

/

about

This is a live recording of me playing my Taylor 214ce electric acoustic guitar and singing "Both Sides Now" by Joni Mitchell, from
her second album Clouds, released in 1969. This during the second half at the sixth annual UMass Lowell Mothers of Rock concert at the ICC Junior Ballroom at UMass Lowell in Lowell, MA 01854 on Wednesday 3/2/2011. This was recorded by my Mom in the audience from her iPhone 4.

lyrics

Reuben Walton: 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 could have done
But clouds got in my way


Reuben Walton and Jennifer Egloff: I've looked at clouds from both sides now
From up and down, and still somehow
It's clouds' illusions I recall
I don't know clouds at all

RW: 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 them laughing as 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 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
and something’s lost and 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 don't know life at all
