Even though I grew up listening to grunge bands, I like the Joni Mitchell version, "Both Sides Now," a lot better. There's an incredible poetry in the song that really tugs at the heart. I think you have to have some years under you though to really appreciate it. I'm approaching thirty now, and I personally identify with the first few stanzas that speak to the passing of childhood and the loss of innocent wonder and naivete. I imagine the later sections of the song about love and life will resonate more when I'm older.
