Talk:Both Sides Now (Joni Mitchell album)

song vs. album
The song, which has been covered by dozens of musicians, is far more famous and notable than the 2000 album. I think it make a lot more sense for the article to focus on the song rather than the album named after it. Anyone agree/disagree?


 * Sounds like a good idea. Now we just need someone to write the article about the song.  JP Godfrey 11:09, 15 February 2006 (UTC)


 * I agree. Maybe someone could get ahold of the originator of the article - whoever it was seems to have been unusually thorough (except for their exclusion of the far more popular version recorded by Judy Collins - no matter who the writer of the song was.)

There are now separate articles about the song and the album of the same name.-71.174.190.122 (talk) 16:43, 24 December 2016 (UTC)

Both Sides Now - multiple 2000 Joni recordings

 * "Both Sides, Now" (4:32) Released 1967 * Song by Joni Mitchell from the album Clouds

There are at least two different "2000" recordings of Joni singing BSN:
 * studio recording version on BSN album (recorded 1999) released Feb/Mar 2000 - track 12, 5:45
 * single released 2000 (exact same as album track?)
 * "Both Sides Now" will also be the first single serviced from the project. It goes to triple-A, jazz, adult standards, and NPR stations Feb. 15. (jonimitchell.com/library/print.cfm?id=633)


 * live performance April 6, 2000 version:
 * "In tribute to Mitchell, the TNT network presented an all-star celebration at the Hammerstein Ballroom in New York City on April 6, 2000. Mitchell's songs were sung by many performers... Mitchell herself ended the evening with a rendition of "Both Sides Now" with a 70-piece orchestra.[94] The version was featured on the soundtrack to the movie Love Actually."


 * The last part of this article lede sentence therefore may be mistaken:
 * "She re-recorded the song in a lusher, orchestrated version for her 2000 album Both Sides Now; this version was subsequently featured on the soundtrack to the 2003 film Love Actually."

There are at least three appearances of BSN song associated with the movie Love Actually (2003): the inclusion within the movie (1:25); featured within a bonus extra on the movie DVD (about 2min); on the movie soundtrack album (track 9, 5:46).
 * movie inclusion:
 * Both Sides Now * Joni Mitchell
 * 1:25  Karen gets the CD as a present. She puts on this song and cries in her room. Meanwhile Mia tries on the necklace in her room.

These three may or may not be identical. Do they all actually derive from the TNT April 6, 2000 performance, not the BSN album studio track?-71.174.190.122 (talk) 16:44, 24 December 2016 (UTC)

Gordon Jenkins
I don't own a copy of the album, so can someone enlighten me whether the liner notes actually list Gordon Jenkins as a conductor, since he died more than a decade before this was recorded? StavinChain (talk) 03:56, 13 July 2018 (UTC)
