Both Sides, Now "Both Sides, Now" is a song by Joni Mitchell, and one of her best-known songs. It was first recorded by Judy Collins in 1967; Collins' version was a top-ten hit on the U.S. singles chart during the fall of 1968. It subsequently appeared on Mitchell's 1969 album Clouds (which was named after a lyric from the song). It has since been covered by dozens of artists in various languages, including Frank Sinatra, Willie Nelson and Herbie Hancock. Mitchell herself re-rerecorded the song, with an orchestral arrangement, on her 2000 album Both Sides Now.
