who sang the song i've looked at life from both sides now
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.
I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For The song originated from a demo the band recorded on which drummer Larry Mullen Jr. played a unique rhythm pattern. Like much of The Joshua Tree, the song was inspired by the group's interest in American music. "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For" exhibits influences from gospel music and its lyrics describe spiritual yearning. Lead singer Bono's vocals are in high register and lead guitarist the Edge plays a chiming arpeggio. Adding to the gospel qualities of the song are choir-like backing vocals provided by the Edge and producers Brian Eno and Daniel Lanois.
