Katerina Nikoultsou has done Joni Mitchell proud

[Dean aka Artist in Seine]

Katerina Nikoultsou has gone beyond the blue films on DVD's and returned to the classics.  I like this medium of support for paintings, it's fun and meaning full.  Thank you DJ Katerina!

Fun facts: Joni Mitchell is now 68 years young, and is actually Canadian and not American as I thought.  Great talent comes from places where you have to stay indoors for 9 months of the year.

We are singing, Erni!

Bows 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 illusions I recall
I really don't know clouds at all

Moons and Junes and Ferris 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

Oh but now old friends are acting strange
They shake their heads, 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
