   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. I've looked at life from both sides now. From up and down and still somehow. It's life's illusions I recall.

   How does Mitchell determine the meaning of the song 'recall'?

   • Perhaps the key to determining the song’s meaning resides in Mitchell’s use of the word ‘recall’. Note that each time she sums up her perspective (on clouds, love, life), he uses this word to describe her own view of them. She recalls the illusions, rather than the reality.

   Mitchell didn't release her first album, Song To A Seagull, until 1968; "Both Sides, Now" she included on her second album, Clouds, in 1969. The song is all about perspectives - clouds look very different depending on your vantage point. Mitchell got the idea when he was on a flight, reading the 1959 novel Henderson the Rain King by Saul Bellow.
