May your Sunday shine bright.. I just finished listening to the complete CD for the second time this morning and how well it goes down listening with a morning coffee and your sweet voice/songs in my ear. There are twelve songs on this magnificent CD and Anticipation and Your so Vein are reinterpret well and they are a huge bonus on the CD. Still after all these years your voice is solid in beautify and pitch. Overall I got to say the CD is incredible sonic and ambient with colors of sounds, stories lyrically speaking. And the performance is yet another outstanding feature on the CD. I would say the production is second to none. Beautiful melodies and the story is told/unfolds in a way that stimulates the soul when one really listens. At the moment the 4th song remains my favorite.. Boy's in the tree's. There is so much diversity and dynamics in this CD within the twelve songs. It's great that your children are musicians playing on the LP. They are talented and everyone, played so well. Who ever Bob Ludwig did a fantastic job with mastering. Talk about acoustic ambiance man listen to track #5. I could hear that one being played a lot around Christmas/Holiday season. So ambient and it has that special feel. The whole LP is sort of a modern St. Pepper in it's own way. I love the ending tracks as well. I will listen to it one than once and congratulate you in your Journey of music you have sung about your life and your visions and the things you have seen/learned along the way and you seemed to embrace it all and wrapped it around your songs/music. Personally speaking as a songwriter I got to take off my hat as I admire that old fashion touch when it comes to story telling and the way these world/lyrics unfold. There is an art to that and I know that. Bless you and thanks. Oh the interviews and TV appearances are very cool. You guys sound great live as well. Sorry about the long post.
Hi Carly Just finished listening to Never Been Gone which has touched me so immensly. It has touched me spirtually emotionally and i cannot say enough how much throughout my whole life you have inspired me. When i saw the cover of the phamplet I remembered that picture and I simply loved it. I have always loved acoustics and Never Been Gone is the best. Thank you for being you. Your a blessing and truly an angel your voice will forever be embedded in my heart. lori
They don't follow the fashion Latest trend, no reaction State of the world's affairs Seem indifferent, but really care Self-reliance what its all about Don't need it, you do without In the balance of the universe Doesn't matter could be worse ....."Exceptionally Cool".....
"Never Been Gone" - Carly what a beautiful CD/LP that magnificent, impressive, colorful CD/LP that really shines.. Love it! Yeah! You've never been gone...
I do want to say I entered to win Your autographed guitar because I would love to give it to my daughter I myself would love to have it if I won but I think if I was to win I would want my daughter to have it because if thats what will keep her fighting in life to have a piece of our memories buy having your guitar than I couldn't ask for anything more. If I don't win thats ok too because your music has already done soooo much for our family that nobody could ever know. Thank you so much Susanne
and everything seems to be okay cause we are laughing singing and dancing and spending time with the ones we love. I have watch the movie Little Black Book with my kids and they all agree that at the end when you show up and she passes out that I in no doubt in all our minds would do the same thing. That has been a life long dream of mine to meet you I know not every dream comes true and not every story has a happy ending like mine and my children but your music has touch our hearts and has brought us many memories together and that is a happy life for me So once again Thank You for bringing joy and happiness into our hearts at such trying times in our life. If you ever come near our little town in Arkansas send me a shout so I can take the kids to see your concert and we will have another happy ending and another great memory Loving your music, Susanne
Just wanted to say thank you for your music. I'm 40yrs old now but at 32yrs old I found out that I had lung cancer it was the worst time in my life, I had my right lung removed within 2 days of finding out but when I came home & listened to your music and somehow it made my world so much brighter. My children have grown up listening to your music with me & have agreed with me that you are the most amazing singer/song writer in the world. My son is 17 and my daughters are 15 & 9 all very much into music my son plays lead guitar in a jazz band & lead snare for marching band my 15yr old daughter plays bass in the marching band & my 9yr old sings and is learning how to play guitar she sang 1 of your songs for her talent show in which my son played the guitar for her. My son is going to go to college to become a music teacher because he wants to touch peoples lives the way you have touched ours. My 15 yr old daughter also was diagnosed with cancer this summer and she as well is a very lucky survivor the Doctors were shocked when she came out of surgery that when she was still half asleep in recovery she asked if she could have her ipod & to put it on Carly Simons songs. He said he would have never thought a young girl would ask to listen to such great music he was thinking she wanted to hear rap or hip hop and when he checked on her from day to day she was listening to your music every time and he asked her why Carly Simon? and she told him that we would always listen to your songs and it was alot of happy memories and we had lots of fun listening and dancing to your music and that if she was to die she wanted those happy memories with her at that time of her death she said it made her soul happy. So this is why I say thank you because I dont think you realize how your music has helped us in our recovery because at our worst times in life we listen to your music and we sing along from our heart and soul at the top of our lungs (well for me 1 lung) and we dance around
Hi Carly you are such an angel!! Just saw you on Jimmy Fallon and that was so awesome!!! Great performance! I never tire of listening to your beautiful voice. Looking forward to my cd arriving. blessings Lori
