My favorite Anita song is > A Tear Fell > which is sung in a 50s style tinklin piano waltz. It tells a story of lost love . She sees her old love dancing in the arms of a new love as she sheds a tear on the dance floor . I think of my first girl friend in high school when I hear this song . So sad .

no way bro. Kris did it WAY WAY better. He was the total package, great writer, amazing singer, and great actor as well! Anitas version is really grating on the ears and too sharp. the song was not meant for that kind of sound, it was meant to be sung with a slower, lower, and smoother voice.
@ihatedinonuggets Жыл бұрын
@@orion7741 There is no world in which anyone genuinely believes Kris Kristofferson had a "smoother" or less "grating" voice than Anita Carter's. I will say that this song works better slower and lower, which is how Anita performed it live and to great effect.

“LOVING HER WAS EASIER” I have seen the morning burning golden on the mountain in the skies Aching with the feeling of the freedom of an eagle when she flies Turning on the world, the way she smiled upon my soul as I lay dying Healing as the colors in the sunshine and the shadows of her eyes Waking in the morning to the feeling of her fingers on my skin Wiping out the traces of the people and the places that I"ve been Teaching me that yesterday was something that I never thought of trying Talking of tomorrow and the money, love and time we had to spend Loving her was easier than anything I'll ever do again Coming close together With a feeling that I'd never known before in my time She ain't ashamed to be a woman or afraid to be a friend I don't know the answer to the easy way she opened every door in my mind But dreaming was as easy as believing it was never gonna end Loving her was easier than anything I'll ever do again. 👍🏻🎸✌🏻
