Continuing on from my previous post. The word Cloud cropping up reminds me of the Joni Mitchell song from her album “Clouds”, note this excerpt:
Clouds is the second album by the Canadian singer-songwriter Joni Mitchell, released on May 1, 1969
Do note it’s release, May 1…, aka “May won”… my name being “May” is also strategic design of the inner twin world. Note this next excerpt:
"Both Sides, Now", had already been recorded by other singers by the time Mitchell started work on the album.[5] Mitchell wrote "Both Sides, Now" after reading Saul Bellow's 1959 novel Henderson the Rain King on a plane and drawing on a point in the novel where the protagonist is looking at clouds from a plane.
Definitely, “Rain King” jives with my previous post. Note from the song’s wiki page:
One of the first recordings is by Judy Collins, whose version appeared on the US singles chart during the fall of 1968.
Note from Judy Collin’s wiki page:
Judith Marjorie Collins (born May 1, 1939)
Yet another May 1… MAY WON!!
The songs lyri
Rows and floes of angel hair
And ice cream castles in the air
And feather canyons everywhere
Looked at clouds that way
But now they only block the sun
They rain and they snow on everyone
So many things I would have done
But 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 that I recall
I really don't know love
I 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 that I recall
I really don't know life
I really don't know life at all
