Joni Mitchell ~ Both sides now

 

 已很久沒有聽 Joni ~ Mitchell 唱的歌,  昨天回應一位網友時,  想起  " Both sides now "
這幾個字,  後來記得有一首歌叫  " Both sides now ",  於是上了 Youtube 去搜尋,  想
不到有如此美好的收穫。  一位我曾熱愛非常的歌手,  當然她不止是一位歌手那麼
簡單,  因為她懂得作曲填詞,  編排音效,  而且還是一位畫家,  可說是多才多藝的人。
我很幸運,  無意中可以欣賞到 Joni Mitchell 用沈實聲韻和充滿深刻情想的感受唱出
這首 " Both sides now " ,  因我從來未聽過她這樣的演繹,  所以非常喜歡聽,  跟以往所
聽她的唱腔和演繹,  真是有不同的感覺。一位歌手不斷求自我突破而願意嘗試探索
又可使她的歌迷讚嘆和折服,  經得起時間的洗鍊,  而且能繼續改變自己固有的風格,
真叫人另眼相看呢!

( 只是喜歡聽這歌,  請不要理會歌詞意思 ... 純粹欣賞她的唱腔演繹 ... )

Both sides now

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 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 every 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.
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.
