Both sides now...
" Bows 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... "
That’s an excerpt from the song “Both sides now� by Jeanette Lindstrom & Steve Dobrogosz. Not really sure who’s the original singer… Was it Joni Mitchell? Was listening to it all day at work since morning… On my player, on the bus to the swimming pool after work… and later as I took a stroll by East Coast Beach… Aren’t clouds fascinating things? Light and fluffy like cotton candy in the air… But yet they are so unpredictable… They may be white and innocent for a moment... and grey and angry the next… Maybe they have mood swings too… Ha… Guess it works the same for people… Was suddenly feeling very low… Don’t know why… Maybe there’s been so much weighing on my mind lately and yet I do not have an avenue to let it all out… So many things I would like to do… But I can’t… So many things to pursue… But I haven’t got support… So many things I want… But I can’t have… Maybe the clouds just came in today… and blocked out the sun. That's why... Maybe it's because the roof in the office is leaking again... I don't know... Perhaps, I have to take sometime to ponder over things... and then I might know... By then... Till then... Hope the sun will shine again soon… and chase away the gloom…
" 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… "
Just

Tune for the day
Both sides now
Jeanette Lindstrom & Steve Dobrogosz
Bows 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 that 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 that 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 sayI've changed.
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 win and lose,
and still somehow
it's life's illusions I recall.
I really don't know life at all…

there are times when everyone goes through this phrase where they will wonder about what u just mentioned... don't let them get u down too long cause its not healthy... so go out and find some positive inspiration or do something happy and u will automatically feel better! really. i get that feeling very often... :D
