I REALLY DON'T KNOW LIFE AT ALL 🤔

 

I think everyone has played that game, at some time or the other, where you look up at the clouds, and try to imagine or guess, what each one 'almost looks like or resembles'.🤔

The interesting part about that game, is that the 'Clouds' keep changing their shape, constantly, as they keep moving, and are blown in different directions, by the breeze. Wherever the wind blows, they go; and as a result, they never stay the same.

I listened to this song today, that kind of draws a comparison between 'Clouds, Love and Life'. I have heard other versions of this song before, by other singers; but today, I found this nice duet version. I also read the lyrics a few times today, more closely.✍️ 

Like any poem, the words of this song, can be interpreted in a number of different ways. In fact every line, can be understood differently, depending on one's state of mind, at the time.

But I guess, the one thought that seems very clear, is that no matter how much experience one may have, 'Love and Life' will always be like 'Illusions', that we can't really figure out - As Complex, Complicated, Ever-Changing and Difficult to Interpret and Understand, as the 'Clouds' in the sky.

...and just like the songwriter, I guess every single one of us, can only say, 'I really don't know Clouds, Love or Life at all.' 🤷🏻‍♀️

BOTH SIDES NOW 🎶 (Song Lyrics)

- Josh Groban and Sara Bareilles

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's Illusions, I recall;

I really don't know Clouds at all.

Moons and Junes and Ferris wheels,

The dizzy dancing way you feel,

When every fairy tale comes real,

I've looked at Love that way.

But now it's just another show,

You leave 'em laughin' 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 win and lose, 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. ✍️
