Oscar 2017, Ad memoriam – Sara Bareilles canta Both Sides Now di Joni Mitchell [video]

Una commossa ed emozionata Jennifer Aniston ha presentato il segmento più triste di ogni edizione degli Oscar, quella dedicata al video che celebra gli attori e le personalità del mondo del cinema che sono scomparse negli ultimi mesi. Per l’occasione, ad accompagnare la clip, è stata Sara Bareilles che ha cantato Both Sides Now di Joni Mitchell. Molti, purtroppo, i nomi apparsi alle spalle della cantante, in un sentito e doveroso tributo. Tra questi ricordiamo Prince, Mary Tyler Moore, Debbie Reynolds, Carrie Fisher, John Hurt, Gene Wilder, Patty Duke, Anton Yelchin e Zsa Zsa Gabor.

Sara Bareilles, Both Sides Now

Rows and flows of angel hair
And ice cream castles in the air
And feather canyons everywhere
I’ve looked at clouds that way
But now they only block the sun
They rain and 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’s illusions I recall
I really don’t know clouds at all
Moons and Junes and ferries wheels
The dizzy dancing way you feel
As every fairy tale comes real
I’ve looked at love that way
But now it’s just another show
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 I recall
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
But now old friends they’re acting strange
They shake their heads, they say 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
I’ve looked at life from both sides now
From up and down, and still somehow
It’s life’s illusions I recall
I really don’t know life at all
