Sad Song Saturday: Joni Mitchell - Both Sides, Now (download)

Send your sad song suggestions to Raizin(at)gmail(dot)com.

Julia told me this story one night at the Alligator Lounge:

Graham Nash and Joni Mitchell were in love and engaged to be married when she went to Paris.  When she got there, she thought about all the talented women in her family that never went anywhere because they got married and settled down.  So, she sent Graham Nash a break up letter, and in it she wrote: “No matter how tightly you hold on to sand, it still slips through your fingers.”
