歌手のジョニ・ミッチェルさん 青春の光と影

ジョニ・ミッチェル（Joni Mitchell）さんはカナダの作詞作曲を手がけるミュージシャンで画家である。グラミー賞を9回受賞している。
ニュースで見たら、現在は体調を崩して、入院中だという。健康になって欲しいと思う。
　
なんとなくユーチューブで彼女の歌を聴いてみようと思った。
青春の光と影（Both Sides, Now）とサークルゲーム（Circle game）という曲の作詞作曲をしているという。
それで目を閉じて聴いてみた、、この二つの曲よくラジオとかで聴いていたけど、なんという題名かは知らなかったが、いい曲だなぁと思っていた。

青春の光と影の主題歌　

　
　　
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 every 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
