IMC Pick of the Day- Thats the Way Ive Always Heard It Should Be, Carly Simon- 1971 Thats the Way Ive Always Heard It Should Be was released from Carlys self-titled debut album. This song was written about the parents bad marriage- the friends unhappy lives- the boyfriends enthusiasm for marriage but controlling nature- the womans initial resistance and ultimate capitulation. A singer/songwriter named Jacob Brackman wrote the lyrics. He and Carly Simon met in 1967, and they have written several songs together which appeared on her first three albums. Carly Simon says Brackman was a major influence in her development as a songwriter, and was amazed at his ability to fit lyrics to a melody without using clichés. Simon was quoted as saying, When I first wrote it I thought it was an unusual thing for people to break up, and now all my friends are divorced Carly earned her first Grammy as Best New Artist for her first self titled LP and was nominated for Best Pop Female Vocalist for Thats The Way I Always Heard It Should Be (Kim)
