Something perhaps a little different from the Amicus...who spent many years as a Disk Jockey, RocknRoll, then Folk, then Classical, and then the love of my life, music wise, Jazz...Just one of hundreds of songs that convey a message, of sorts, and in view of the many Threads on this forum and the AH, concerning love, marriage, commitments, pleasures and problems and the meaning of it all, as we each, in our own way, seek that illusive thing called love....
Carly Simon That's The Way I've Always
Heard It Should Be Lyrics:
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.
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.
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.
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.)

What are your memories of life at home with your parents and your wishes, desires and dreams of your own life as a father, a mother, a family...written and performed in the 70's earlier than many here, I thought perhaps a glimpse of the past might enlighten you to an earlier time with similar thoughts and feeling and you might take a moment to express your memories and feelings...
There was a lovely era of musical creation and innovation, with Carly Simon, Judy Collins, Joan Baez, Joni Mitchell, Carol King, and others, that , I think, were unique and never to be repeated as music has gone in a different direction.
Your thoughts perhaps?
My small offering to thoughts beneath thoughts and feelings...ah...and this is from a playlist I created for my youngest daughter who seems to have an affinity for music of that era...for reasons unbeknownst to me...
