I really don't know life at all
也不知道為了什么想到這首歌……
人真是奇怪，忽然就想到了，應該也不是毫無因由吧……
Joni Mitchell的老歌，到底是1969亦或是1968，追究起來頗費躊躇，用69，不過引人遐思，沒那么沉重罷了……
那一年真的出了很多很多我所喜歡的歌，60年代是一個魔幻的年代，那些傳奇的人和事，令我感動……
Both Sides, Now。原唱者有兩個版本，最早的那一版，Joni Mitchell尚算年輕，一個人一把吉他站在舞臺中央，她并不漂亮也無所謂什么身材，純純的民謠腔，略帶微笑，唱著有關于青春的小小迷惘與困惑，可對于年輕人這又算得了什么，畢竟仍有大把的光陰可以去虛擲……
而今的版本，其實也不新鮮，2000年，在這樣一個時代，是不是也會被迅速遺忘？
時過境遷，有30於年了吧……
Joni Mitchell的吉他不見了，嗓音竟是天翻地覆地改變了，你會以為那只是另一個人……
舞臺不見了，你看得到的是一個人一支煙一杯酒，
莫名的暗潮涌動，無聲無息，一波接一波，就這樣郁積著，
之后……再歸于靜默，
是無可奈何吧……
I really don't know life at all
Both Sides, Now
Joni Mitchell 1969
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
批注：
1. 唱片封套，吸煙的造型頗引人遐思，但……我還是反對吸煙！
喝些酒無妨，小酌怡情嘛……酥酥麻麻，飄飄然的感覺是很舒服地……
過去對紅酒有偏見，現在看來，那是沒有嘗過好的……哎……好貴……
2. 還是封套，老實講，我簡直愛慘了紅配綠，平常也經常這樣招搖過市~~~
