Joni Mitchell-Both Sides, Now

    著名的加拿大搖滾樂手Nei Young元月底發布聲明，指責最紅播客喬羅根（Joe Rogan）散布有關疫苗的假消息可能導致他人死亡，要求Spotify將他的音樂下架。另一位知名的加拿大民歌手Joni Mitchell數天後跟進，也要求將她的音樂下架。羅根後來道歉，表示會更努力在節目中呈現各種不同意見。

         Nei Young於1995年進入搖滾樂名人堂，他在Billboard Hot 100排行榜上名次最好的歌是1972年獲得過冠軍的"Heart Of Gold"。而Joni Mitchell除了1997年進入搖滾樂名人堂之外，他於1995年即獲選Billboard Century世紀歌星，並於2002年獲得 Grammy Lifetime Achievement 終身成就獎。

Joni Mitchell最有名的歌沒有推出過單曲，是1969年錄製在滾石雜誌500大歌曲榜獲得171名的"Both Sides Now"。

Joni Mitchell初次婚姻於60年代後期結束，但她的音樂事業卻有亮點，因為Judy Collins 翻唱她的作品"Both Sides Now"獲得Billboard Hot 100排行榜第8名(1968)，Mitchell於她的1969年的專輯〈Clouds〉當中也唱了這首歌，她描述她寫這一首歌是對現實和幻想的沉思…，構想很偉大，但她自謙只了解一點皮毛。

Judy Collins是來自西雅圖的民歌手。

Both Sides, Now

Songwriters: Joni Mitchell

 

  Rows and flows 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
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
