A few songs stick with us, embedded into our bones for life.  Both Sides Now is one of those songs.    I first heard it sung by Judy Collins about 1968, then in 1970 I bought Joni’s album “Clouds.”    It was played many times.    Joni recorded it in different versions on later albums and she has sung it live at festivals, on TV, and on request.   It has been recorded by other artists, often as a tribute.    The message is universal and her rendering of the song resonates and reverberates for days after each listening.
