For some reason, I woke up in the middle of the night last night with the lyrics to Joni Mitchell's "Both Sides Now" running through my head. ALL of the lyrics.
It's the latter that caused me to stay awake and not slip back into dreaming. I haven't heard or thought about this song in easily twenty years, but for some reason *every word* is still lodged in my brain, and still accessible. I was Go figure-ing so much at this that I fired up my laptop and searched YouTube, searching for the original song, to listen to it again. What I found instead was this. It's a version that Joni recorded in 2000, after many, many years of water flowing under the bridge of life. Or bridge flowing over the static water of life, if you're more Zen. Whatever. Anyway, what a revelation. It's almost not even the same song.
