Both sides now, Joni Mitchell, does anyone know this song?
This song played some part in my youth, love to share it with you my young friends if you don't already knew.

Rows and floes of angel hair
And ice cream castles in the air
And feather canyons evrywhere
Ive looked at clouds that way

But now they only block the sun
They rain and snow on evryone
So many things I would have done
But clouds got in my way
Ive looked at clouds from both sides now
From up and down, and still somehow
Its cloud illusions I recall
I really dont know clouds at all

Moons and junes and ferris wheels
The dizzy dancing way you feel
As evry fairy tale comes real
Ive looked at love that way

But now its just another show
You leave em laughing when you go
And if you care, dont let them know
Dont give yourself away

Ive looked at love from both sides now
From give and take, and still somehow
Its loves illusions I recall
I really dont know love at all

Tears and fears and feeling proud
To say I love you right out loud
Dreams and schemes and circus crowds
Ive looked at life that way

But now old friends are acting strange
They shake their heads, they say Ive changed
Well somethings lost, but somethings gained
In living evry day

Ive looked at life from both sides now
From win and lose and still somehow
Its lifes illusions I recall
I really dont know life at all
Ive looked at life from both sides now
From up and down, and still somehow
Its lifes illusions I recall
I really dont know life at all

I always have great pleasure being alone by myself to play, If you're playing for any other reason, it won't last.

Yes, Pood your are right.

Judy C recorded it almost right after Joni wrote it in late 60s (as I recalled) and that in turn exulted Joni up to Stratosphere.

So what our generations mostly listened to was JC's version.

But after all being said and done, the simple lyric of this song said to itself how great she was when she was that young and penned this great song besides her "Circle game", "A case of you", "Big yellow taxi" and so many more..

To my humble opinion, she's one of the greatest singer/songwriter of our generation.Cool

มี dvdของ Joni Mitchell ไว้นานแล้ว แต่ก็นึกชื่อ title ของมันไม่ออก...มีคลิปหนึ่งป็น outdoor concert ที่มี Jaco Pastorius และ Pat Metheny เล่นกับ Joni... และเธอเล่น Ibanez GB-10 แต่ไม่แน่ใจ 100% เพราะมันนานมาแล้ว ต้องไปขุด dvd มาดูอีกที แต่จำได้ชัดเจนว่า Jaco Pastorius เล่นอร่อยมาก ลองไปหาที่ YouTube ดูซิ มันอาจจะมี.

W@@dro,
That DVD is "Shadows and light"
Here's her vocalize with men and just Mays on Organ. Pay close attention to her selective notes, simply amazing!


and I still have this DVD somewhere. Pat is always amazing, Lyle Mays the Keyboardist is deceptively good, Jaco has "Jaco's solo" in there, to me he's one of the geniuses on bass. He's the true master of impromptu improvisation with his fretless Fender Jazz Bass that originally with frets but he took them all out! What a guy Big Grin

But sadly like some of the geniuses, his young life was unexpectedly and tragically ended Sad

Some of you young bassists may learn something from him here, especially his play on double or triple notes on bass and some other techniques that you may notice here;

ผมเคยเล่นเพลงนี้ในรูปแบบ Open D - Fingerstyle แต่ตอนนี้จำได้เลือนลาง
ถ้ามีเวลาจะรื้อฟื้นมาเล่นอีกครั้งครับ

ไฟล์ที่โหลดให้ฟังเป็นต้นฉบับที่คนเล่นเรียบเรียงเล่นเองครับ ไม่ใช่ผมเล่น Big Grin
แต่ผมจะเล่นใกล้เคียงหรือดีกว่าต้นฉบับบ้างนิดหน่อย อิ..อิ

เรื่องจะเปิด Mini Concert ผมก็กำลังคิดอยู่เหมือนกัน แต่กลัวเหล่าบรรดาเทพๆทั้งหลายจะตกงาน
เปิด Mini Mart ง่ายกว่ามั๊ง ? Cool
