Music makes the world go round. At least, it makes my world go round. I’m bad at expressing myself, sometimes. And somehow, people who’ve never met me, who don’t know me from Adam, manage to express how I’m feeling.
That gives me hope that maybe we, as human beings, are not so isolated, not so alienated from one another as it sometimes seems.
Does that make sense? I’m not sure I’m making sense right now. It’s one of those days. Rainy outside, end of September, cool, but not cold enough to really threaten snow, days.
I want snow.
Wow… Stream of consciousness is fun… Anyway… On to the song for the day…
“Both Sides, Now” by Joni Mitchell
Rows and floes of angel hair
And ice cream castles in the air
And feather canyons everywhere
I’ve looked at clouds that wayBut 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 allMoons and Junes and ferris wheels
The dizzy dancing way you feel
As every fairy tale comes real
I’ve looked at love that wayBut 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 awayI’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 allTears 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 wayBut 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 dayI’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
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
