April 25, 2019 Joni Mitchell

 

Dear Diary,

Love Joni Mitchell's music. Even though she was young when she wrote 'Both Sides Now', the lyrics sound like someone at the dusk of their life reflecting back on the old days. Love it.

"So many things I would have done, but clouds got in my way.."


I like the original version the most, her voice got ruined in her later years after all the smoking. Offcourse some people prefer the gruff version they used as bg in Love Actually, it suits the scene perfectly. But I like the original one. Its perfect combination of mellow and melancholy. Great to listen to when you want to feel introspective about life. 


Today while I was having dinner, I stumbled upon this alternate version on Spotify. It sounds very happy and chirpy. Not melancholy but hopeful, as if looking out into the horizon optimistic about the future, even though it's uncertain. 


:P Okay that's just my interpretation, but I like it very much. I think I'm gonna keep this on my loop for the next few days.


 I like the new link and quote feature you got . Very convenient.Alrighty diary, bye for today.


Night night!

Peace
