Live at Jabberwocky Club - Syracuse, NY - February 1969

"Joni Mitchell.. I may have been the first New Yorker to fall in love with her. She was still living in Detroit when we met. Clouds - Joni didn't like my tampering with her title for this one. She insisted (justifiably) that the original title (Both Sides Now) be included. Still, though, she did entitle her next album Clouds." - Dave Van Ronk

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

Vorrei che le nuvole si chiudessero sul mio Paradiso oggi. Nessuna richiesta, nessuna pretesa, nessun egoismo....solo io, solo quello che ho.

The great Dave Van Ronk. His raspy voice made this song even better than Joni's version

"A tall, garrulous hairy man of three quarters, or, more accurately, three fifths Irish descent. Topped by light brownish hair and a leonine beard, which he smoothed down several times a minute, he resembled an unmade bed strewn with books, record jackets, pipes, empty whiskey bottles, lines from obscure poets, finger picks, and broken guitar strings. He was Bob [Dylan]'s first New York guru. Van Ronk was a walking museum of the blues. Through an early interest in jazz, he had gravitated toward black music - its jazz pole, its jug-band and ragtime center, its blues bedrock... his manner was rough and testy, disguising a warm, sensitive core." ~ Robert SheltonJoni Mitchell declared Van Ronk's cover of her song to the "finest ever."

Simply beautiful, Dave pulls the listener into a world that hadn't existed, even when I've known this song from Joni 40 odd years. A revelation.

An interesting thing about this song is that the poem Jaberwocky by Lewis Carol can be sung to it's tune.
