It's Sunday, and I have been relaxing and listening to music from a new playlist that I randomly and recently put together my iPod.
Lately, I have been thinking a lot about things. My life ...my relationships ...what I have accomplished ...and of course, my shortcomings and failures. But most of all, I was thinking and reflecting about Jess. Thinking about Jess makes me smile and laugh as well as feel sadness and regrets. Sometimes I even cry.
This song started playing my iPod just as I was thinking about Jess, and telling him that I was done, and since he wrote me last night, thinking what the heck should I do!
It's quite a beautiful song. Joni Mitchell is a legend and sings it like no one else! Read the words. You will know exactly what I mean when I say... totally relate-able, makes you really think about your life, and a timeless classic!
Enjoy!

Both Sides, Now
by Joni Mitchell
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
Oh 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
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
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
