What was going on for you when you first heard it? >> Ok......I got a few. Lately,it has been "Embrace Me Child" as I just re-discovered it.I assume this is about her dad, it really gets me. "Waited So Long' is an all time fave...it seemed so brazen for it's time, and sassy. Also love 'Boys in the Trees"....the song and the album. The title cut is really one of those songs that I never get tired of hearing. As you can tell I am hung up on her older catalog.I really need to catch up on the newer releases. I've heard nothing about the box set, can anyone post some review? I believe it has the song from "Swing Shift " soundtrack - doesn't it? Title is ??? I have the very obscure promo single.......can't remember. Oh,well. my 3 cents.

It has several tracks on it that I didn't have. She does Angel From Montgomery. her voice is amazing on it-raunchy. What I find fascinating about Carly's voice is that it sounds now like it did way back when she started. Her voice was always so mature for one so young. now in her 50's it is just ecstasy for me. (Now don't get me wrong-I do not mean that in a sexual way!) Oh, I cannot wait for another of her works. Surely it can't be long now. catman ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 31 Aug 1998 00:28:04 +0100 From: catman Subject: Carly Covers Which album/cd cover is your favourite? I must say I prefer the 12" cover we used to get on lp's rather than these piddly cd ones though I do prefer the cd itself to vynl! My all time favourite is the cover to The Best of Carly Simon. A truly wonderful photo of her. I also like the cover to Hello Big Man and Boys In The Trees and the phot on the back of Another Passenger. Also the front of Hotcakes. I must say that I really do not like the cover to Coming Around Again. The art director who whoever was responsible should be shot! It really does not do Carly's beauty justice. It really surprised me that they would play her image so badly. catman - -- CARLY SIMON DISCUSSION LIST http://www.ethericcats.demon.co.uk/ethericcats/index.html TANTRA’S/ETHERIC PERSIANS AND HIMALAYANS http://www.ethericcats.demon.co.uk ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 31 Aug 1998 00:37:17 +0100 From: catman Subject: [Fwd: favourite Carly songs] This is a multi-part message in MIME format. - --------------E321413485152016DD94F365 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit - -- CARLY SIMON DISCUSSION LIST http://www.ethericcats.demon.co.uk/ethericcats/index.html TANTRA’S/ETHERIC PERSIANS AND HIMALAYANS http://www.ethericcats.demon.co.uk - --------------E321413485152016DD94F365 Content-Type: message/rfc822 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Disposition: inline Return-Path: Received: from punt-2.mail.demon.net by mailstore for catman@ethericcats.demon.co.uk id 904514782:20:08497:12; Sun, 30 Aug 98 22:06:22 GMT Received: from plutao.solar.com.br ([200.239.58.9]) by punt-2.mail.demon.net id aa2008169; 30 Aug 98 22:05 GMT Received: from default (jup04.solar.com.br [200.239.58.136]) by plutao.solar.com.br (8.8.4/8.8.4) with ESMTP id TAA03367 for ; Sun, 30 Aug 1998 19:05:31 -0300 Message-Id: <199808302205.TAA03367@plutao.solar.com.br> From: "Renata Cristina Bastos de Paiva" To: Subject: favourite Carly songs Date: Sun, 30 Aug 1998 19:06:57 -0300 X-MSMail-Priority: Normal X-Priority: 3 X-Mailer: Microsoft Internet Mail 4.70.1161 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Well, there's a lot of Carly Simon songs I love, but there are some that I have to let you know. Coming Around Again is a song that touches my heart even today. "I know nothing stays the same but if you're willing to play the game, it's coming around again" These words seem to be written just for me, because I was experiencing exactly this situation when this song was released (1987). The Right Thing To Do; Touched By The Sun from Letters Never Sent Album, the acoustic guitar of this song and the energy that Carly sings, makes this song, a fantastic one. Lately, I am enjoyng Orpheus from Hello Big Man Album. If you ask me one my favourite song from each of Carly's Albums, I will tell you one by one, because she sings what we feel, what we want listen to, in differents ways, and in differents moments of our lives, and it really matters for me. Love, Renata Cristina PS.: Sorry for the mistakes, I am Brazilian and I am trying to improve my English, if you find some mistakes in my text, please correct me. It's very important for me. - --------------E321413485152016DD94F365-- ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 31 Aug 1998 00:38:05 +0100 From: catman Subject: favourite Carly songs Renata-first of all your English is nothing to apologise for! I have a Spanish mother(well what passed for one anyhow) and I do not even speak Spanish and I am sure my English and grammer are faulty! You write clearly. what else can one ask for? Touched By The Sun is one of my all time favourites. It really speaks to me. When I first heard it, my self was in the process of being annihilated, and it really helped be in the process of becoming my self, albeit different from my previous self. often i want to walk the safe side of the street and lull myself to sleep and dull my pain but deep down inside i know i've got to leartn from the greats earn my right to be living let my wings of desire soar over the night i need to let them say 'she must have been mad' and i, i want to get there i, i want to be the one one who is touched by the sun one who is touched by the sun - -- CARLY SIMON DISCUSSION LIST http://www.ethericcats.demon.co.uk/ethericcats/index.html TANTRA’S/ETHERIC PERSIANS AND HIMALAYANS http://www.ethericcats.demon.co.uk ------------------------------ End of hotcakes-digest V1 #29 *****************************
