As Promised..."Close Your Eyes"

Below is the video of James Taylor and Carly Simon that I spoke about in World History class today. I can't get it out of my head! These post 60s hippies have really invaded my psyche.

I love the emotion that the song conveys. They sing about a genuine uncontrived sort of love. With reality show like Chance at Love, Rock of Love, and the Bachelor, it doesn't seem as though there are too many popular models of that pure kind of love that still endure.

This clip is filmed in 1977 before Carly and James' divorce in the early 1980s:

that sing was so sad it sounded like someone was dying or something and they said its ok close your eyes. but at the same time the song was heart warming because of the sounds of the acoustic guitar. it was pretty.....

This is Na Li from period 6. I liked this song, it sounds nice and I hardly see couples singing some songs that are touching. Did they created that song for their kids or what? And that woman looked like she is pregnant. But anyways this is a nice song, I would love them to creat more songs like that before they break up but WHY!!!!
