Da Estante dos CD's, 1

Procurava noutro dia um CD, no meio duns quantos que tenho mal arrumados numa estante.
Eis que me veio à mão esta senhora, ela assume-se primeiro como pintora (pinta também a capa dos seus álbuns) só depois como interprete, pinta muito bem, pelo menos eu gostei do que vi, e a sua música, é música para os meus ouvidos, desta feita tinha na mão "Mingus" de Joni Mitchell.
Aproveitei para conhecer mais a fundo a sua obra e aqui vos deixo um tema que me despertou a atenção, do álbum "Both Sides Now" de 2000, o tema que dá nome ao mesmo.
Recomendo vivamente a sua audição.

Both Sides Now

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

Aquele abraço.
