I wish I know how to describe how I feel about your work. Sammy, when your video starts, everything else stops and fade away, and I had my jaw dropped, my eye lid relaxed, pupils dilated. and then I see colors, sceneries, and the grace of the world. thank you Sammy, you brought me much happiness and peace, and I think you should know that.
" Well something's lost but something's gained in living everyday" - one of the best lines ever written..this song touches deepest part of soul. Thanks Sammy for sharing this masterpiece..
Whenever you sing music like this, whether your own or a cover, your soul shines through Sammy, and the world becomes a bit better. Your talent and respect for the music is so clear. TYSMS !!
couldn't believe the caption when first saw it: my favourite song from one of my favourite old times' songwriter, now covered by my no.1 favourite new gen songwriter? My heart is crying ❣️
Dear AL Music Base. I hope you have good people around you to help you through the panic attacks. I’m sure you will find a way to handle them. Hang in there. Many thoughts from the Faroe Islands.
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 they 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 that you feel As every fairy tale comes real I've looked at love that way But now it's just another show And 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 that I recall I really don't know love 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 they're acting strange And they shake their heads and 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 It's life's illusions that I recall I really don't know life I really don't know life at all
I just spent 30 minutes looking for your full version of this after hearing a clip on Instagram and I cannot express how much I need this on Spotify. 😭 Truly spectacular!
Love this song. Amazing beautiful version of it. You are so good at making feel whatever you sing. It makes me listen to the lyrics and puts meaning to them xx
This is such a good cover! Just wow! The only thing that is preventing this video from going viral and getting a million views is Sammy has not posted many videos lately, so unfortunately this video will not be pushed out to very many FYPs. It's too bad because this has got to be the best cover of Both Sides Now I have ever seen.
You can't believe how much I appreciate you posting the full version here. I saw a short (different) version of this on your TikTok and immediately loved it. An already beautiful song, sung in such a brittle way! This also got me listening to your magnificent EP. I really hope this will get the attention it deserves!
you bring so much truth to your covers, sammy!! you really rule the songs you play. the way you convey the melody, it's magic!!! thank you for this. ps. I love the air in your voice
Clouds constantly get in the way of my thinking process, I go off on tangents. This is one of my favorite songs, when I get stuck in life I'll pull out the CD!
Hauntingly beautiful, deceptively adept guitar playing, vibrato vocals to die for and timing and sense of the song un surpassed. Superb cover, hats off, well done from London, UK.
Just woke up and putting my UA-cam on and clicked on to Sammy I didn't expect to be blown away ...absolutely amazing ...just love this simple but awesome track with its fantastic lyrics.look forward to hearing you again good job xx
Thanks Sammy, this is absolutely wonderful. I'm 55 yo, and still really don't know life at all. But I do keep learning about it. In fact, I learn a lot about life from young people like you Sammy. Anyway I guess Joni was about 23 when she wrote this and handed it off to Judy for a while. I wonder if Joni realized then what a timeless classic the song would become.
Staring at gloomy clouds while listening to this through my headphones, I cried quite hard. I realised how unjustly I had been disliking them, and how they had their own beauty that I simply refused to acknowledge
Jees Sammy , I never watch you and come away with anything but "wholly hell he`s good" , hope you are keeping well . As a 51 year old sufferer of bipolar disorder , I feel your pain brother . All the best from the UK. Keep it up .
Sammy, you have a beautiful voice! This isn't the first time I've heard you sing, since I've been following you for @3 years or so, but this might have been the first song I've heard you sing that really made me recognize that your talent is unique! I have loved this song since I first heard Joni sing it when I was a boy in the 70's, and I have NEVER found a version that was performed in a style, and with level of personal understanding that matched hers until today! It has never been about the PERSON singing the song, but how the person shares their relatable life experiences to the listener that mattered to me. The voice, although sweet and beautiful, only ever told the story of life's unmet expectations and how to accept them. Your version seems to grasp that distinction. In simpler terms, you said it like you knew what you were talking about, Does that make sense? I hope so. Thanks for sharing this...I won't pretend to know how Joni Mitchell would feel, so I'll just say that I love it FOR her!
you are so wonderful, gifted with poetry in your music. your artistic touch is very light but affecting. it's great to find someone who doesn't just bash you over the head with it, but rather you play and sing with so many shades. you bring joy to a lot of people, well done :)
Beautiful, sounds like you learned a lot from Jonis phrasing and feeling and open tuning. Saw her play in Dublin a good 40 years ago, hopefully get to see you perform on stage sometime soon. Keep up the great work and life is exactly what you’re doing. You do have an advantage over the vast majority of this planet just by your talent. Don’t waste it
wow . just found you totally by mistake - looking at gilbert osullivan songs as i am seeing him live at a festival , but your guitar playing and voice are great. Joni is my all time fave and you absolutely do it justice - new fan 😂 keep it up please ! you really are so talented.
Refreshing, thank you. It’s hard to tell your age but.. when i was a young thing, i would play my guitar and sing myself to sleep almost every night. This was one of my favorites. I’m not a young thing anymore, but the song stays the same❤
Just happened upon you and your cover. This kinda breathed a renewed life into me bc I also do music and you remind me of a younger version of myself and it's inspiring as I try to make music again later in life. Beautiful. Thanks for sharing ❤️
What a great and tender performance of this beautiful song I only discovered in one of my all favorite movie ( Love actually). Bravo, you moved my heart with your cover. Big like . Greetings from France.
when you wrote turtles all the way down (or was it mother nature? or the garden?) i called you our generations' joni mitchel, simply speaking from the way your music moves people. full circle, kinda ;) once again i am sooo happy this boy is living in our time
Sammy, don't know if you know the back story of this song, but you've more than captured it. I'm sure Joni would agree, you've owned this. Please give us more. Peace.
I wish I know how to describe how I feel about your work.

" Well something's lost but something's gained in living everyday" - one of the best lines ever written..this song touches deepest part of soul. Thanks Sammy for sharing this masterpiece..
Ever so comforting voice and perfect timing too.. My mom is in a very critical state and this is so comforting to listen to. Thank you..
Whenever you sing music like this, whether your own or a cover, your soul shines through Sammy, and the world becomes a bit better. Your talent and respect for the music is so clear. TYSMS !!
Sammy truly is a net positive to the collective human consciousness
I'm 50 something and always loved Joni. And covered it. You nailed this, with your own spin on it. Beautiful. Keep making music.
Thanks for sharing your powerful interpretation of this sublime song. We are all luckier to have heard it.
you have the best voice methinks. ultimate comfort artist
couldn't believe the caption when first saw it: my favourite song from one of my favourite old times' songwriter, now covered by my no.1 favourite new gen songwriter? My heart is crying ❣️
I'm 28. I just had my first panic attack today. So glad you released, so glad I had you to listen to when I got home alone
Dear AL Music Base.
I hope you have good people around you to help you through the panic attacks.
I’m sure you will find a way to handle them. Hang in there.
Many thoughts from the Faroe Islands.
must be terrifying..you'll grow strengths to manage them 🤍
Best wishes from Germany to you I know what this means....
And it will be your last. It came, it went, it hasn't returned and it doesn't have to. You got this. You are in control. Love the day.
I’ve loved Joni Mitchell’s early work for over 40 years….this cover is beautiful
Not many singers can pull off early Joni, but you nailed it. Perfect cover! Very touching.
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 they 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 that you feel
As every fairy tale comes real
I've looked at love that way
But now it's just another show
And 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 that I recall
I really don't know love
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 they're acting strange
And they shake their heads and 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
It's life's illusions that I recall
I really don't know life
I really don't know life at all
there are no words to describe how great this is.
Sammy, you never fail to touch my heart. Thank you for this!
I didn't listen to you for a while, your voice comforts my days, thank you.
Bro!!! Very few people have the talent you possess. Your presence on Earth is a gift.
how did you know that i've had this song on repeat for the past couple days ahhh this is so beautiful
Fantastic, so much talent, really appreciate this cover, thanks for sharing
I just spent 30 minutes looking for your full version of this after hearing a clip on Instagram and I cannot express how much I need this on Spotify. 😭 Truly spectacular!
Oh, I love some Joni Mitchell, thank you for uploading your cover here as well! You deserve the world
Love this song. Amazing beautiful version of it. You are so good at making feel whatever you sing. It makes me listen to the lyrics and puts meaning to them xx
One of the best Joni Mitchell covers I've ever heard!!
Not many people can sing her songs or even have the guts to do so. AMAZING!!
I feel like I'm hearing these lyrics in a whole new and beautiful way from all the sides now. Thank you for your beauty xx
Gentle voice, and simply a beautiful young woman! Thank you for your heartfelt vocal abilities! Very nice! Like hope in the morning sun!
I'm an art professor, and art is about what you just made me feel. I'm in love with your version.
Well Sammy...you nailed it! I feel the joy you do as you perform. This is what music is about. Thank you!
Sammy your voice and guitar skills are otherworldly but more than that it's all you bring to the table. Amazing skills! You're a beautiful soul.
What I really love about this is how you capture the essence of the dulcimer sound with your guitar. It really compliments your singing.
This is such a good cover! Just wow! The only thing that is preventing this video from going viral and getting a million views is Sammy has not posted many videos lately, so unfortunately this video will not be pushed out to very many FYPs. It's too bad because this has got to be the best cover of Both Sides Now I have ever seen.
I love Joni Mitchell, and you’ve played this beautifully. The tuning, technique, feeling, plus a flawless voice. Congratulations 👏
Beautiful cover 🖤. Also thank you for covering these lovely songs! I end up adding them to my playlists 🥹
You can't believe how much I appreciate you posting the full version here. I saw a short (different) version of this on your TikTok and immediately loved it. An already beautiful song, sung in such a brittle way! This also got me listening to your magnificent EP. I really hope this will get the attention it deserves!
A pure rendition of a great composition. You didn't just respectfully leave it intact, you made it shine. Well done.
One of my favourite songs ever. And you sang it so beautiful (as always! 😀)
Hey Sammy - been watching and listening to your videos for few years now….this is just perfection. Great stuff 👍🏻🇮🇪
you bring so much truth to your covers, sammy!! you really rule the songs you play. the way you convey the melody, it's magic!!! thank you for this.
ps. I love the air in your voice
I did a paper about this song in college, truly incredible lyrics. Most people don't dig deep into them, they should. Great job Sammy.
Omg u’r doing covers again ! I love it
Awesome rendition of an awesome song. You do it perfect justice.
ive wanted this cover for so long!! you voice really suits it!!
oh sammy this is such a delight
blown away!!! This is the best cover I've ever heard of this masterpiece. Every word, explained in such organic way. Thank you for this!
Clouds constantly get in the way of my thinking process, I go off on tangents.
This is one of my favorite songs, when I get stuck in life I'll pull out the CD!
Been listening to you for 4 years now, love you Sammy!
When you sit down and take the time to listen to this song…it’s hard not to be moved. Lovely performance. Good luck with your music.🥹
Beautiful -love your covers.
Beautiful rendition of the song .Joni Mitchell a GREAT SINGER .Thank you a lot.🌠🌈🤗🌻🕊🤩
One of the most beautiful song ever, nice job
Beautiful. Loved it. ♥
Hauntingly beautiful, deceptively adept guitar playing, vibrato vocals to die for and timing and sense of the song un surpassed. Superb cover, hats off, well done from London, UK.

Thanks Sammy, this is absolutely wonderful.
I'm 55 yo, and still really don't know life at all. But I do keep learning about it. In fact, I learn a lot about life from young people like you Sammy.
Anyway I guess Joni was about 23 when she wrote this and handed it off to Judy for a while. I wonder if Joni realized then what a timeless classic the song would become.
Omg my absolute favourite song!!! Love your version of it. You made me very happy today
I've been waiting to see you cover this song! It fits perfectly to your voice Sammy! I love it ♡
Staring at gloomy clouds while listening to this through my headphones, I cried quite hard. I realised how unjustly I had been disliking them, and how they had their own beauty that I simply refused to acknowledge
Jees Sammy , I never watch you and come away with anything but "wholly hell he`s good" , hope you are keeping well . As a 51 year old sufferer of bipolar disorder , I feel your pain brother . All the best from the UK. Keep it up .
So good! Love it, excellent playing and singing!
you covering this song while reminding yourself to register for college is insanely perfect
You are really talented, the ability to move people with your voice is a superpower.
Sammy, you have a beautiful voice! This isn't the first time I've heard you sing, since I've been following you for @3 years or so, but this might have been the first song I've heard you sing that really made me recognize that your talent is unique!

Another fine cover. Im loving your gentle, sweet voice. Thanks from a random old guy away over in Australia.
you are so wonderful, gifted with poetry in your music. your artistic touch is very light but affecting. it's great to find someone who doesn't just bash you over the head with it, but rather you play and sing with so many shades. you bring joy to a lot of people, well done :)

lovely! this is my first time hearing this song, thank you for putting light on it
Wonderful vocals and arrangement. Thanks for sharing!
wow . just found you totally by mistake - looking at gilbert osullivan songs as i am seeing him live at a festival , but your guitar playing and voice are great. Joni is my all time fave and you absolutely do it justice - new fan 😂 keep it up please ! you really are so talented.
What a gem you are, Sammy ♡✨
Refreshing, thank you. It’s hard to tell your age but.. when i was a young thing, i would play my guitar and sing myself to sleep almost every night. This was one of my favorites. I’m not a young thing anymore, but the song stays the same❤
What a great way to start my morning. Beautifully done
Got to say that was just delightful!
Absolutely beautiful!! One of my favorite songs ever!! I play it on my baritone ukelele, but not anywhere near as great as you!! ❤
Thank you for bringing a bit of my youth back with this song!
Thank you so much for this, excellent as always. The world needs Sammy Copley covers, hopefully you've got Nick Drake on your playlist !
Made an old geezer weep like a new born babe you done. Amazing performance!
Just happened upon you and your cover. This kinda breathed a renewed life into me bc I also do music and you remind me of a younger version of myself and it's inspiring as I try to make music again later in life. Beautiful. Thanks for sharing ❤️
What a great and tender performance of this beautiful song I only discovered in one of my all favorite movie ( Love actually).
Bravo, you moved my heart with your cover. Big like . Greetings from France.
I enjoy watching this young lady singing very much. She made me happy. Good job.
when you wrote turtles all the way down (or was it mother nature? or the garden?) i called you our generations' joni mitchel, simply speaking from the way your music moves people. full circle, kinda ;)
once again i am sooo happy this boy is living in our time
ikr, I'm just so grateful that this person even exist at all every time I see his face.
First time I've seen you. Loved it. Soft and sincere and the G flat key was a perfect choice. You are so easy to listen to.
Sammy, don't know if you know the back story of this song, but you've more than captured it. I'm sure Joni would agree, you've owned this. Please give us more. Peace.
Go Sammy, this is a beautiful version of a wonderful song.
