From dwilliams20With Memoral day being the unofficial start of summer and warm weather we look at Carly Simon's take on the Chaos of the political climate. How do we live with normalcy throught chaos? How can we make sure are kids have a strong future? How do men objectify woman to fit there desired molds? Why do we forget events, when they mean more to others? What is internalized jealousy? How do we live through chaos when people want the whole political system burned to the ground? In album that put Carly simon on the map she uses her experience to ask and try to answer some of these questions. From a the title track being a song written while waiting for Cat Stevens for a date. To watching rasicim and hate flood the news and writing on the destruction of human kind. It best to pause and take a moment after summer's coming around again before Share the end. (If you have it on vinyl this is the break between side A and B) it let's you feel the full weight of share the end as well let's you feel the joy of the first half of the album. To many Carly Simmon is know to mos for just you're so vain. After this you will think more about everything else she offers to this world. The question through her writing she asks and tries to answer. Anticipate that sometimes you're best memories can be during the darkest parts of human history.
