I generally gravitate to the music first before the lyrics. But as a writer, I still marvel at well-spun verses and choruses. This month, I’m joining the music Twitter community in #SeptSongLyricChallenge

Day 20

Tapestry is the great American songbook – and “I Feel The Earth Move” leads the way. Carole King’s songs have the distinction of helping us to feel what she’s feeling and to facilitate the transference of those feelings in us. “I Feel the Earth Move” is one of my favorites on the album. There’s an edge coupled with a rare set of emotions. Aggression with soul. You can hear the pounding of those piano keys as if you were lucky enough to have King sing and 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.”
