    My boyfriend and I both cried listening to Joni perform this song at the 2024 Grammys!!! She is an iconic humble legend… and she outclassed everyone on stage tonight ! Proof that words are by far more powerful than all the showy bells and whistles ! Thank you for modeling what’s possible ! ❤

      We are of the same generation; I too am 71. I wore out my Ladies of the Canyon LP, playing it so much. I realized that could happen because when I tried to play it on a friend's record player, it jumped and skipped all over. I'd worn the grooves down to almost nothing.

    First verse on 'clouds' was just a warmup... things get deep in a hurry. "But 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 day..." Imagine already being this wise in her early 20's when she wrote this masterpiece.

    So many people hear the Judy Collins version of this song, and good as it may be, but the vocal tone of Joni's is sublime. Salute to an incredible talent, we owe it to our generations to come to keep her immortal in music.

    • @Vinterfrid
      @Vinterfrid 15 дней назад +1

      Well, since Judy Collin's version was the first many of us consider it to be the original - and also the best version. Joni Mitchell indeed has a great voice, but so has Judy Collins. Anyway, it is a great song in both versions.

    I love this song. It encapsulates everything that most of us feel, especially during these difficult and confusing times. The only thing I know about life is I don’t want to hurt others for any reason. I don’t want to add pain to someone’s life, especially since we never know what someone is really going through inside.

    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's 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, 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

When I saw my grandparents years ago when I first heard this song over 50 years ago, I saw only one side of life but now that I am older, I see and know both sides and realize I really don’t know life at all. I just want to learn more and maybe we’ll all see what this life is about fully when we move on to the next life…Thank you Joni for a remarkable stories life you’ve lived and shared with us.

    Stunning song. Joni is a true legend. One of the purist forces of singer songwriting in this last 6 decades. She was performing about the same year I was born in 1971. Her music reflects a much simpler time, where everything seemed possible. When I listen to it, I may as well be stepping into a time machine. Thanks for the time machine Joni.

Got it! Then looped the video while listening to it tearing up. "I REALLY DON'T KNOW WHY, AT ALL!" NO pun intended. I grew up loving heavy rock then eventually playing drums in a band but this song just popped out my mind just now from decades of not hearing this song. Never knew the title but perhaps my mom would have told me if she were alive.

      Simplicity is absolute beauty. With this version, we can absolutely feel the sincerity, irony, poignancy and nature of what life is.

    The Greatest Song ever Written .
    Even among the Greats .
    You can't touch this .
    As a young Boy .
    I listened to this and it moved me
    To Tears .
    Today years later.
    Same result.
    I Really don't know Life at All .
    How Humble but yet so real .
    Mankind is still trying to figure it out.
    Just look around .
    Problem is.
    We need to look UP.
    TO GOD. ❤️

    To write something so insightful about life at such a young age is so very rare. Her poignant reflections of looking back and contrasting the same things in our lives from when we are young compared to when we are older is true lyrical genius.

    I first got to know this song when I was only 19 with the movie love actually. I knew of Joni, but wasn't as familiar with her catalogue. That famous scene in the movie made me a dedicated fan. Let me tell you that I literally woke up my husband from sitting on the edge of the bed sobbing, enraptured by this performance and seeing Brandi Carlisle play with her idol. It was truly a beautiful moment

    Even after listening for decades, her songs are still fresh and vibrant and relevant. She's my musical touchstone that everything out there is compared against, and she always brings me an indescribable level of inner comfort and centeredness. I am so grateful to have had her as a musical presence through my teens to my senior years. How great is that.
