love actually-both sides now

Both Sides, Now
by Joni Mitchell

Rows 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 ev'ry 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

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


I was browsing through my selection on songs on youtube when i chanced upon this song. The song was featured in a really emotional scene in the movie Love Actually.Karen just found out that her husband cheated on her, and she was just playing this song and trying to blot out her tears. Truly a remarkable performance..i remember she asked Harry near the end of the movie,"If you were me, would you stay knowing that life will always be a little worse, or would you cut and run?". Famous line, but i think the real note-worthy one came right before that. Harry admitted that he was a fool. Karen replied, "You've not just made a fool of yourself, you've made a fool out of me and you've made my life foolish".

haha. a bit too melancholic yeah?

it's a really nice song though. go download it=)

thank you Lord for the anointing today. though it smelled of ginger, but to me it's sweet-smelling all the same.
