Carly Simon - Touched By The Sun

[@cdean2950]

Started listening to Carly in the 70's...grew up with her..now im 71, still listening..greatness..we have been on many journeys together..i will never stop listening!!!❤️

[@Mike-k9k9n]

68 here, and still listening

[@alankoz5067]

The corruption and unadulterated commercialization of the music industry allow brilliant gems like this go almost completely unnoticed. I'm so thankful that I've often chosen the 'path less travelled.' Like one of those magical sunsets that happen and you look around and most people aren't noticing it; this is a masterpiece.

[@blondiesaband]

you're so right; I can't believe this wasn't one of Carly's biggest hits

[@mtnlady4762]

Today I sat beside my 29 year old nephew’s grave at the Veteran’s Cemetery. Six years ago today he passed. Adam was always a ray of sunshine. Played others’ requests for songs in his memory. This song is my request. Carly has taken me through the good and bad, always a mainstay in much of my journeys throughout life. My nephew’s spirit will always be with us. Touched by the sun!! 💙😇🦋☀️

[@johndalton3180]

Sorry about your nephew. Peace.

[@Superfangelo]

Carly wrote the song for her friend, Jacquelin Kennedy Onasis, when Jackie was diagnosed with a terminal disease. The song has gone on to inspire many of us to reach higher and work harder at our art, whatever your art may be. I love Carly Simon. Always have, always will.

[@nyneegardner6235]

My high school best friend is named after her. We both come from very creative families. Today I dedicated this to her for her birthday. I Love both of my Carlys!!

[@StarZendonna1687]

It was non-Hodgkin lymphoma a form of Blood Cancer that took Jackie Kennedy Onassis' life. Her passing was a blow to Carly and to us as Kennedy fans. This has to be the best tribute Carly has done

[@idonthaveachannel223]

I read somewhere that her illness was lymphoma.

[@adambaker6354]

Jonathon Cain from Journey wrote the song.

[@MB-pe1dw]

I thought it was a tribute to Christa McAuliffe after it was used in a documentary about her.

[@kimkochel6754]

I just finished reading Carly Simons book,"Touched By The Sun". An excellent read. About her and Jackie Kennedy Onassis' friendship. Tears are streaming down my face as I type this. A friendship built on love. Beautiful song and book Carly. ❤

[@eirikrdberg1161]

This song made me a Carly Simon fan back in 94.

[@Zampan0]

Carly "Got There" along time ago. I find this song to be extremely inspirational, probably her best.

[@darrylfix4879]

To me the best Carly song ever makes me feel a live

[@painite7211]

These lyrics resonate so deeply I love the ethereal vibe and how my heart beats every time I listen to this💗 'with every breath that I take, every heart beat ' Beautiful, Carly!

[@KeithRowley418]

Been listening to Carly since 1973 - still listening. What a class act! As for this song - it's simply heartbreakingly beautiful.

[@AIKELAFQUEN]

Carly, you've really been a fine company of my last years. I hear from my 14 years and I'm coming for almost 40. I hope you read this. I love your songs and your voice. Thanks for so much music and caresses the soul. From Rosario, Santa Fe, Argentina. INFINITE THANKS!!

[@cjjersey2455]

I just finished reading Carly’s book Touched by the Sun about her friendship with Jackie Kennedy, who she wrote this song for. You’ll find some videos of Carly’s concert in Grand Central Station, inspired by Jackie who worked to save the building. Jackie suggested the concert,, but it only happened after Jackie’s death.

[@dorewilliamson1944]

This is the greatest song ever recorded of all time, in all of history.

[@elisaabolafia9542]

Did you know she wrote this song dedicated to her dear friend Jackie O ❗ I just found her book ,by the same name at a "Dollar Tree" store of all places. She and Jackie met in Martha's Vineyard.Their friendship spanned a decade until Jackie died. The book was wonderful. Of course she's a great writer. If you can find the book...please grab it. It's delightful.

[@synergypersonaldevelopment2377]

This is one of my all time favorite motivational songs,

[@MetFan37]

One of the best songs ever written!! Carly's a genius!! Got the album the day we were going to see her in concert. Loved it on the album, loved hearing it live.

[@adambaker6354]

Carly didn’t write the song Jonathon Cain from Journey did.

[@DKA1951]

When I can’t sleep I listen to Carly sing and brings my brain at peace!

[@markusjaegerliteratur]

This song has helped me through very dark times... I can't believe it is 30 years old this year...

[@patriciaeroz5828]

If you want to be brave And reach for the top of the sky And the farthest point on the horizon Do you know who you’ll meet there Great soldiers and seafarers Artists and dreamers Who need to be close, close to the light They need to be in danger of burning by fire And I, I want to get there I, I want to be one One who is touched by the sun One who is touched by the sun Often I want to walk The safe side of the street And lull myself to sleep And dull my pain But deep down inside I know I’ve got to learn from the greats Earn my right to be living Let my wings of desire Soar over the night I need to let them say “She must have been mad” And I, I want to get there I, I want to be one One who is touched by the sun One who is touched by the sun I’ve got to learn from the greats Earn my right to be living With every breath that I take Every heartbeat I want to get there I want to be one One who is touched by the sun One who is touched by the sun-“ TOUCHED BY THE SUN” Carly Simon & Friends

[@lorilori7126]

And I , I want to be one who is Touched By The Sun! Thank You Carly. One of your truly great songs!

[@jmacmanus4445]

makes me cry...how can a woman be so amazing...and beautiful. Tears at my heart.

[@TheCannonofMohammed]

Just stumbled over this and am amazed. Wow.

[@KristenFennell-oz8zz]

Love this song

[@wannababrit]

Carly's music has such strength, passion, nuance, power. She is a force unleashed here by maturity alone. Although this is not my favorite song of her long and triumphant career, I feel she really reached her zenith in this distillation. A masterpiece.

[@alextripp1230]

One of those songs you hear, makes the hairs on your neck stand up, and you will never ever forget. Fantastic..!!!!

[@williamkayaian7268]

Cool song 🎵🙏

[@gustavoleiva6823]

Que calidad de artista, expresión y talento. The best Carly Simon!!

[@JanELuft]

Uplifting & Liberating

[@MollyTTree]

One of her best videos.

[@gmasword0613]

One of the songs that I played at my mother's funeral, along with Like a River and Life is Eternal. Very special to me. I figured if it was good enough for Jackie O, it was good enough for my Mother :-)

[@carmastrong877]

Life is eternal, my daughter and I used to laugh at how it sounded like "life is a turtle"

[@katrinashea1797]

❤❤❤I remember hearing this song , not long after my mom passed as well. It is my favorite on the letters never sent album

[@debralearyan8844]

FOREVER BEAUTIFUL

[@petrslivinski7481]

Truly a beautiful, well-written lyrics and instrumental song by our lovely Ms. Simon.

[@judyhendrickson4023]

Love her songs!!!I want this played at my funeral!

[@ronaldtiracchia2017]

I loved this song from the first listen. I wish I could have seen her live but it wasn't meant to be :( but her music now that's something I will always treasure:D

[@1daughterific]

Beautiful artist, inside and out. What an inspiring song. Thanks Carly Simon!!

[@beckysarver3663]

Holy wow. Incredible. Robert's sultry voice, the arrangement, the tight music and back-up singers and all those other star-striking musicians in the audience. Want the whole CD. NOW!

[@EPiK500]

She is so stunning! Her voice is absolutely beautiful, I love when womens voices sound like they have actually been through something in their life! LOVE HER!

[@williamkirkland7002]

It's 5/11/2019 and I still ♡LOVE♡ QUEEN CARLY SIMON to the moon and back.....●○●○ 4 ever...

[@822d]

Yes, I remember reading that this song was written (I think maybe by Carly) about Jackie Kennedy Onassis who was a friend of Carly's towards the end. I think of Jackie every time I hear this. I didn't realize this song came out the year she died. Excellent, uplifting song to me.

[@tinastanley4444]

This is intense

[@ActionMediaProductions]

I just heard this on Apple Music and did a google search, and it brought me here. I’m glad it did.

[@markghio5955]

Her best video and one of her strongest songs. She was 49 when this was filmed. Wow!

[@charlesmann5516]

Songs Like This Are Magic.....

[@Elle-zt2pe]

I'm simply awestruck.

[@alienzardsketter.9076]

Amazing song its greatness has not even been heard yet...and its almost thirty years old ,,

you so channel the feelings of many of us, better to die in a tumble of sparks than of slow decay...death in combat is desirable compared to old age.....thank you Miss Carly, from those of us who live our lives close to the sun....i plan to play this at my fathers funeral service as his demise is sadly expected in the next few weeks. watching it has given me motivation to find new ways to serve my community that might bring me closer to the edge, the fire, so that perhaps i might find the cleaner death, that sadly my father(a braver man never drew breath) was not afforded.

[@michaelbutler9987]

1960jefbot I agree, and my feelings exactly................ Death in a fire fight, rather than slow death of old age,,,,,,,,,,,

[@colleenross8752]

1960jefbot, God bless your family and may He welcome your father with open arms.

Colleen Ross Thank you......

[@RosePetal17]

The fact that this is such a powerful anthem is a given, but I also love how Carly pronounces her poetic words so clearly and emphatically.

[@7628739]

I saw her do this at Grand central station .. it was amazing ,, just so powerful, the lyrics are great,, Marth's Vinyard driven.. if you have never been to the cape , you are missing out on an experience.

[@josephschlickbernd7892]

This song got through a tough time when my wife died.

[@mtnlady4762]

Miss Carly Simon has helped me throughout my life: good times, bad times, new loves, old loves, deaths, chemo, bypass surgery...always there for me. This song takes my emotions wherever the ebb flows. Miss Carly Simon touches my soul with every song! My younger sister and I always said Carly could solve all the problems. Brittany Murphy said the same thing in the movie, Little Black Book. 🎼💜🎼

[@robertquentincobb]

I Love the fact that CARLY Has KEPT her NATURAL Good Looks and beauty, after all these years. What a Great Musician! Thanks for posting!

[@barbarabarton858]

I agree - as with so many of her songs. I don't know if she's a Christian or not, but she seems to have a deep understanding of some of God's great truths. Have you heard her song "Forgive" from her Christmas album? Extraordinary! Thank you, Carly....God bless.

[@timdailey2021]

I have no idea who you are or what is the meaning of your remark directed towards me. I would recommend "Us and Them" by Pink Floyd and Mark Knopfler and Eric Clapton, "Romeo and Juliet," to contemplate the utter meaningless of a world without God. In the words of the replicant in Blade Runner: "I have seen worlds that you cannot imagine." Those who die without God will experience worlds they could never have imagined in their worst dreams
