Yes boys and girls, the fun and games continue with this list that is getting so much attention from everyone on RR. Just keep it coming. :rolleyes:
This week's entry is another that I never really thought of as all that sad, or one that makes your feel all misty-eyed like the one scene in Old Yeller...yeah, you know the one.
Anyway, this week we have 'That's the Way I've Always Heard It Should Be' - by
Carly Simon (1971)
The Breakdown: Marriage is inevitably dismal in this evocative pop hit, which was recorded a year before Simon's ill-fated marriage to James Taylor.
The Waterworks: "Their children hate them for the things they're not/They hate themselves for what they are."
Casualty Count: All marriages, one American dream.
Sure, the content is sad, but it just doesn't feel all that sad to me. Sort of like watching a chick-flick and not really caring all that much.
