Carly Simon "Thats The Way I've Always Heard It Should Be"

PLEASE RATE!! A cover of this great song By Carly Simon. Recorded in 2005. All instruments played by myself recorded from my Yamaha S90 keyboard into a Tascam 24 trk recorder. The piano & vocal were recorded simultaneously with a couple vocal parts re-recorded, then the bass & strings were added later. The vocals are done by Janelle Finamore. PLEASE RATE!!

My father sits at night with no lights on
His cigarette glows in the dark
The living room is still
I walk by, no remark
I tiptoe past the master bedroom where
My mother reads her magazines
I hear her call "Sweet dreams"
But I forget how to dream

CHORUS
But you say it's time we moved in together
And raised a family of our own, you and me
Well, that's the way I've always heard it should be
You want to marry me, we'll marry

My friends from college they're all married now
They have their houses and their lawns
They have their silent noons
Tearful nights, angry dawns
Their children hate them for the things they're not
They hate themselves for what they are
And yet they drink, they laugh
Close the wound, hide the scar

CHORUS

You say that we can keep our love alive
Babe, all I know is what I see
The couples cling and claw
And drown in love's debris
You say we'll soar like two birds through the clouds
But soon you'll cage me on your shelf
I'll never learn to be just me first by myself

Well O.K, it's time we moved in together
And raised a family of our own, you and me
Well, that's the way I've always heard it should be
You want to marry me, we'll marry
(Marry)

I'm old enough to remember when this beautiful song was first released.

I remember a much younger vantage point on Life, full of innocent promise.

The innocence is long gone, but the Promise remains.

Thank you for re-capturing the Soul that was originally infused into this melody,

and for sharing your Voice with us.

Carly, and many others, would no doubt approve, and be equally astonished.

I will be glad to pass it forward as you might wish.

Great job! I'm not a fan of covers, but this is very good. I see from the comments that you have released your own CD, so good luck, you deserve it!
