"I FEEL THE EARTH MOVE" CAROLE KING (1971)

Tapestry is textbook songwriting. Carole King’s songs have the distinction of helping us to feel what she’s feeling and to make those feelings our own. “I Feel the Earth Move” is one of my favorites on the album. There’s aggression with soul. A harshness and a rare set of emotions that are missing from the rest of the album. I also love the rawness of the production. You can hear the pounding of those piano keys as if you were lucky enough to have King play it in your own living room.

“I feel the earth move under my feet. I feel the sky tumbling down. I feel my heart start to trembling whenever you're around.”
