Carly Rae Jepsen - Both Sides Now Lyrics






Bows and flows of angel hair
And ice cream castles in the air
Feather canyons everywhere
I've looked at clouds that way

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

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 you feel
When every fairy tale comes real
I've looked at love that way

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

But now old friends are acting strange
They shake their heads
They say I've changed
Well something's lost and something's gained in living every day

I've looked at life from both sides now

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

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

I really don't know life at all

  37. A.... C....

    ook prachtig, net als Talk To Me, maar ook op geen enkele album te vinden.

    A.... C....

    op de single disc misschien wel, maar nergens op een uitgave van de album KISS

    A.... C....

    @Jet Nijman ook niet op de single disc???
     

    A.... C....

    dat zei ik juist, op de single disc misschien wel

  38. p.... ....

    I like the concept...Maybe this younger generation will learn what real music is.

  39. C.... ....

  40. J.... ....

    it's a sonnet

  43. E.... ....

    AWFUL AND DISGUSTING

  44. M.... C....

    Auto tune used in this recording...pity cause I like her voice...

    M.... C....

    it's not autotune, it's reverb and multitracking.

  45. a.... k....

    she said "when every fairy tale comes real"not " come true"

  46. S.... J....

    Does any1 know a free download link?

  47. A.... S....

  48. A.... ....

  52. T.... (....

    M.... d....

  62. M.... M....

    I feel like if people don't like this version then do not listen to it...Simple as that

    M.... M....

    but what would they have to complain about? lol

  63. T.... Y....

    Not as good as my older sisters who were in a 60s band........

  64. �.... ....

    This is not okay.

  65. J.... ....

    Sounds nice but I like the Hayley Westernra's version more!!

  66. A.... F....

    awful cover

  67. G.... N....

    As a huge fan of the Judy Collins version, which was a cover of the Joni Mitchell version, I have to say that I love the way great music gets reincarnated every generation in that generation's idiom.  It's fascinating and encouraging at the same time.  Don't mind the "Old man yells at clouds" types; this constant reinterpretation is what keeps great music fresh and accessible.
    BTW, This is a great version, too.

    G.... N....

    G Nelson

    Judy recorded the song before Joni. Pop stars give away songs and write songs for each other to sing all the time. Prince wrote songs for the Bangles to sing. "A World Without Love" was given to Peter Asher by Paul McCartney.

    G.... N....

    exactly

    G.... N....

    Judy does the best job of capturing that recent loss of innocence that the song conveys. I think the beat in this version is out of place, but it still has its charms and her voice does convey some of that naivete turning to experience.

  68. R.... ....

    Dolly has an amazing version of this 

  69. F.... C....

    this version iis the best. The other one is too slow and boring.

    F.... C....

    There are many "other ones", so I'm not sure which one you're thinking of. Personally, I think a slow contemplative feel suits the song, and am not too fond of this one. Meh. Tastes differ.

    My own favourite versions are those sung by the writer, Joni Mitchell. And for this song I prefer the ones she sang as a mature woman: again, it suits the lyrics letter to my mind. But that's me.

    TRiG.

    F.... C....

    I'm not against the other ones, but I'm more a pop-style person.

    F.... C....

    Boomtang boys have a really good dance version of the song.

    F.... C....

    Oh my sweet summer child... Someday when you have matured, you'll realize how great of a masterpiece that one "too slow and boring" version.

    F.... C....

    @Marcus Vipsanius Agrippa ohh come on both are good. You are always there to belittle others, I bet you can't even sing that better

  70. M.... T....

    this is a pretty good cover, but nothing compared to the original

  71. s.... ....

    WHAT THE HELL. HOW COULD SHE.

  72. L.... D....

    I like this version. Why does everyone have to always compare the original to a cover of it? That's why it's called a cover! It's the modern times, have to make it more modern, no point of redoing the same thing as the original! Sheesh people, so critical!

    L.... D....

    This cover did and didn't make sense to me. It made sense because the original artist, Joni Mitchell, is considered one of the most female musicians of all time, so it makes to be inspired by one of her songs. It didn't make sense to me because this version completely ruined it. The entire Pop beat to it ruins the integrity of the song. Plus her voice lacks the emotional depth needed to properly convey the lyrics. Just my opinion.

    L.... D....

    +Lilah Zerambo Every generation's musicians feel the need to reinterpret the previous generation's "great songs" either through covers or full-on rewriting into a new song. The themes of humanity don't really change from one generation to the next, and musicians have a greater sense of the prior music - the very music that inspired them to become musicians - than the general population.

    L.... D....

    I dunno, it sounds fine to me.

  73. e.... d....

    How do you get your music to time in with the lyrics??

    e.... d....

    you need windows live movie maker

  74. S.... M....

    She kind of murdered this last night on Canada's walk of Fame awards. It was like a talent show rendition where you feel bad for the singer because you know they are trying but not real impressive for an internationally recognized singer.

  75. J.... K....

    역시 ...칼리

  76. e.... ....

    Carly

    WTF u doin

    Carly

    STAHP

  77. S.... H....

    I was pretty upset when The real version of 'Curiosity' and 'Both Sides' weren't on the album...

  78. S.... ....

    I think this is a great song :)

  79. L.... p....

    I hope that in a few years Carly will regret this version a lot !! Grow up kid ! This is a classic ! It deserves better than this !

    L.... p....

    I say that Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and so is the Music to the Ear of the Listener

  80. s.... p....

    i love the song

  81. S.... S....

    This is the best example ever of how horribly worse can one of the greatest song be sung!

  82. D.... M....

    the original is too slow for me lol

  83. K.... N....

    I wouldnt have immediately hated this if she didnt immediately get the lyrics wrong.

  84. J.... J....

    Having read your comment it's really hard to believe you've even heard the original version. I'll link you to it just in case. /watch?v=aCnf46boC3I (technically this version isn't the original but it's still the original artist)

  85. A.... ....

    I really don’t know clouds at all
    I really don’t know life at all...

  86. L.... R....

    I think it's hard to compare them because they are completely different styles. But I give her props for doing a cover of this song. It has such great lyrics.

  87. L.... R....

    The original is actually by Joni Mitchell. She's one of the best singer-songwriters ever in my opinion. You should look it up :)

  88. c.... H....

    WATCH MY COVERS PLIZZZZZZZZZZ

  89. S.... Z....

    Worst thing about Carly is that Bieber discovered her. Without her connection to that little punk she would be perfect.

  90. S.... Z....

    Joni and Judy's versions are better but Carly did a great job modernizing it.

  91. 8.... ....

    i really LOVE this song and carly rare jepsen! but i prefer judy collins' version for some reason.

  92. 8.... ....

    The original version is better...but I ADORE this rendition! I think it's my favorite Carly Rae Jepsen song now, even more than This Kiss.

  93. f.... ....

    I just love that version she sings it 1000 times better than the original. she could sing it to me every time i go to bed at night.
    (:

  94. G.... B....

    é mesmo! vi a tradução, e é lindo!

  95. M.... B....

    Esta canção é para toda a gente que tem sentimentos
