Joni Mitchell - "Both Sides Now" (2000)

This is one of my all time favorite songs/performances. I listened to it tonight a few times and it just completely tears me up.

It's so bittersweet. So evocative. It really touches me to my very core.

Once this version was done, I find it impossible to listen to the inferior original! Brilliant track,

Finally got around to seeing Love Actually. This song kinda has a part in that movie. Anyway, it's been on my playlist since.

Perfectly heartbreaking. Love her update of "The Circle Game" too.

Definitely a powerful statement... especially juxtaposed with the original, sang from the youthful perspective.

τὸ τέλος ὁ χρόνος ἀπαιτεῖ.”

it was weird hearing her voice so deep and aged on this track, but I do really like this version of it as well. The whole album is pretty good too.

This performance is incredible to me. I've been going through a lot of emotional stuff lately, relationship things, and this sung cut right into my soul. Thank you for posting it. I don't know if I'm going to be able to shake this feeling for the rest of the day. Wow.
