ｂｏｔｈ ｓｉｄｅ ｎｏｗ

バンクーバーオリンピックでかかってた「青春の光と影」は以前ＪＴの宣伝で使っていたのを聞いて歌詞を拾って調べた事がありました。カナダ人シンガーだったなんて知らなかった。のちにロックの殿堂いりした人だなんて知らなかった・・・！！！！

すごく歌詞が良いです。ＣＭではこの冒頭からサビの１行目までを使っていました。一番印象的だった「both side now」でネットで引っ掛けたら一発で出てきて嬉しかった。あたりまえだ、タイトルだもん。そういう曲の作り方もいいなーと思いました。

both side 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 they 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
And 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
　　　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

Oh but now old friends they're acting strange
And they shake their heads
And they tell me(said) that 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

　　　It's life's illusions I recall
　　　I really don't know life
　　　I really don't know life at all
