Moons and Junes and Ferris wheels, the dizzy dancing way you feel as every fairy tale comes real.
The expression describes the euphoric feeling of being in love or romantic idealism. The images of moons, Junes, and Ferris wheels evoke an atmosphere of romance, excitement, lightness, and wonder. It suggests a state in which the world seems magical and dreams appear to become reality.
Origin:
The text comes from the song Both Sides Now. The original English lines read:
> “Moons and Junes and Ferris wheels,
> The dizzy dancing way you feel,
> As every fairy tale comes real.”
The expression is therefore not a traditional saying or proverb, but a passage from song lyrics that was later often quoted separately due to its poetic character.
Author:
The lyrics were written by Joni Mitchell in 1967. The song became known through recordings by both Mitchell herself and Judy Collins, whose version introduced the song to a wide audience. However, Joni Mitchell is the original author of both the music and the lyrics.
My heart is broken in the face of the stupidity of my species.
We are stardust. Billion-year old carbon. And we’ve got to get ourselves back to the garden.
