It's Life's Illusions That I Recall

Came across this amazing track, and took a quick new portrait of the young Finn Still to go with it.

 

I googled this track and found out that the singer Joni Mitchell wrote it when she was 21. Hope you like it:

Moons and Junes and ferries 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 can, 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 that 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, 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

It's life's illusions that I recall

I really don't know life

I really don't know life at all

Done
