I feel the earth move...

"I feel the earth move under my feet; I feel the sky tumbling down..."
To match my physical condition today, feel very much like to listen to Carole King's "I Feel the Earth Move" and others.


Album: Tapestry
I Feel the Earth Move
So Far Away
It's Too Late
Home Again
Beautiful
Way Over Yonder
You've Got a Friend
Where You Lead
Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow
Smackwater Jack
Tapestry
(You make me feel like) A Natural Woman
Out in the Cold

This is a recording of 1971. I remembered dad played this album when I was very small. I didn't have particular interests in it at that time when I preferred symphonies and folk songs much more. Not until like 10 years ago, when I watched an LD of Carole King's concert (dad rented it), I was so impressed by her energy and sense of originality. She's so unpretentious, heartfelt, raw while gentle.
There were other artists singing her songs - "Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow" by The Shirelles, "You've Got a Friend" by James Taylor and "You Make Me Feel Like A Natural Woman" by Aretha Franklin. Carole King composed these songs and now I listen to them like knowing the way they were meant to be performed.
My favorites: So Far Away, It's Too Late, You've Got a Friend, and (You make me feel like) A Natural Woman.
