Những khi một mình tôi thường tôi bật bản nhạc này để tưởng nhớ xa xôi. "Both Sides, Now" vốn là bài hát nổi tiếng của Joni Mitchell nhưng mãi đến được nghe Hayley Westenra hát thì tôi mới thât sự để tâm đến. Tôi thích Hayley hơn vì cái nhẹ nhàng của giọng hát, như một lời thì thầm tâm sự về cái sự đời, "Ừ, nó như thế đấy... vậy đấy... thế nhé..." pha một chút cười cợt dững dưng.
Mây không còn đẹp xinh, tình yêu không hẳn chỉ toàn màu hồng và cuộc đời không phải là cõi thần tiên như ta từng mơ mộng. Nhưng nghĩ gì đi nữa thì mây vẫn là mây, tình yêu vốn là vậy và cuộc đời sẽ mãi vận hành theo quy luật riêng của nó. Âu chỉ là lòng người đã đổi thay, cớ gì mà lại ngẩn ngơ..

Both Sides, 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 snow on everyone
So many things I would have done
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 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
