Maybe you didn't write the best song, but you sure made the best cover. Wish I'd found it sooner.

This is beautiful on all fronts. This is real. This is the kind of content the music side of YouTube needs. This is the kind of music the world itself needs in its life. 😂 I've met Kristian several times in real life, and the hunger for realness was apparent and celebrated and refreshing and inspiring, as is his entire catalog, and every live performance I've witnessed live or online.

Lyrics:
Who are the 100k people who've watched this against my million?
Rows and flows of angel hair
And ice cream castles in the air
Very good
And feather canyons everywhere
I've looked at clouds that way
Gorgeous version of a truly beautiful song!
But now they only block the sun
They rain and snow on everyone
We need a studio cover of this that's accessible all these years later
So many things I would have done
But clouds got in my way
Trousers.... Song is great, but, get straight.
I've looked at clouds from both sides now
From up and down, and still somehow
Perfect as the original is also.
It's cloud illusions I recall
I really don't know clouds at all
Feel free to play this in Vancouver next week. ❤
Moons and Junes and Ferris wheels
The dizzy dancing way you feel
I was around 7 or 8 the first time I really listened to this song, sitting in the backseat of a car driving down a Prairie Highway. It was then that I realized music had meaning beyond just the lyrics — you could go deeper and experience more. It was such a pivotal moment, and I am so glad it was Joni Mitchell's 'Both Sides Now.' When I saw her live in 2023, it felt as if my life had come full circle, and I was suddenly transported from that car to the grass on that hill.
As every fairy tale comes real
I've looked at love that way
Lovely cover. Well done!
But now it's just another show
You leave 'em laughing when you go
Just listened to this while a winter sun set at the beach - West Coast of Auckland New Zealand. Couldn't recommend that experience enough, if one were to find themselves nearby with this song in tow ❤
And if you care, don't let them know
Don't give yourself away
That chord at 4:10 absolutely kills me in the deepest part of my soul everytime ughhhh
I've looked at love from both sides now
❤
From give and take, and still somehow
It's love's illusions I recall
What the hell? This brought me to great tears
I really don't know love at all
Tears and fears and feeling proud
This is beautiful!
To say "I love you" right out loud
Dreams and schemes and circus crowds
Thank you
I've looked at life that way
Oh but now old friends are acting strange
I’ve had the same opinion since I heard it for the first time in mad men. It’s the perfect song
They shake their heads, they say I've changed
Well something's lost but something's gained
How was this seven years ago?
In living every day
I've looked at life from both sides now
magical.
From win and lose and still somehow
It's life's illusions I recall
Damn nobody even knows Kristians best songs
I really don't know life at all
I've looked at life from both sides now
Where is that cliff? It's stunning
From up and down and still somehow
It's life's illusions I recall
bravissimo, ma la versione di questa canzone non mi piace per niente
I really don't know life at all

@rocarn1I still watch this to this day unable to not sing along and letting tears roll down my cheeks. The best interpretation in the world of the best song in the world.
@SuperNesusThis is a great interpretation of the song. It is heartfelt/simply gorgeous! Does anyone know where this was filmed? ❤❤❤
@whatis5386this one is incredible, but to me you have 5 from my top 10 songs in the world
@felipejunqueira7488What's that name of the one book in the shelf where you can see the spine of the book towards the camera?
@OKHendrikMy HEART ....
I need a Spotify version exactly from this, or a cassette tape, vinyl .. anything
No the best song in the world is Trouble by Lowell George 1972 ...
@miket7966Can we have a petition to get this on Spotify or Apple music?
@bennettmoody6768this is my monthly check in
@bukashky♥️✌️🎶
@utinga8590I like to imagine a mashup of this and Tribute, by Tenacious D.
"This is not the greatest song in the world,
No, this is a tribute."
Record scratch
"So what is the greatest song in the world? It's Both Sides Now, by Joni Mitchell...🎵🎵"
And he has a point, this song and Madame George are possibly the two greatest songs ever x
@ProfessorChomskyMagic x
@ProfessorChomskyThis song helped me in many ways, i crossed a very hard time recently in my life, my wifes had cancer at only 36 which caused storm in our lives. And somehow this song helped me to hold strong and not to colapse and keep our family united. Thank you this song was my light at the end of the tunnel.
@LOVE__LANDERLove your work, just discovered you. I look forward to continuing this deep dive. Much love from Oz.
@GordmanIts hard to believe this was 5 years ago
@atinyasmrI listen to this cover so much -
@sarahhammond3748I know the intro of the video by heart at this point
@zhylkosI really hope he plays this on his next tour. I know the chances are low, but still! It's just so good.
@modestMousseÉ muito lindo.😍😍😍😍
@carlacruz3840loved it. About 7 years ago I heard your Going to Graceland then I became a FAN!
@noCOtwoYou have a great record
You should have a record contract.
Does anyone know, if this interpretion exists in a recording outside of YouTube that I can buy?
@torbennielsen660Your music is amazing! Please don't fall into the pretentious trap!
@ChrisGWGreen1:25 Only for those that have already watched and memorized the intro lol
