The internal rhymes of those lines seem to be propelling him forward. He is in the moment when he sings, Watch her watch the morning come/A silver tear appearing now I’m crying, ain’t I? Dark and silent late last night, he sings, despairing, only to resolutely imagine a homecoming in the next breath: I think I might have heard the highway call/Geese in flight and dogs that bite/The sings that might be omens say I’m going. Taylor does an amazing job in the song of depicting both his feelings about being stranded in a foreign place and his desire to make it back home that’s tugging on him so persistently. G D C D G Going to Carolina in my mind G C There aint no doubt it no ones mind C D That loves the finest thing around Em C D Whisper something warm and kind. The result was a looser, more intuitive recording that better captured the sense of place that the lyrics evoke so beautifully.

The Proclamation changed the legal status of more than 3.5 million enslaved African Americans in the secessionist Confederate states.
Thus, they did a new version for a Greatest Hits album, slowing down the tempo and utilizing the talents of “The Section,” the informal name given to the cream of the crop of ‘70s West Coast session musicians.

The Emancipation Proclamation, officially Proclamation 95, 2 3 was a presidential proclamation and executive order issued by United States President Abraham Lincoln on January 1, 1863, during the Civil War. The original take on the James Taylor album in 1968, which featured Paul McCartney on bass and an uncredited George Harrison on backing vocal, included strings that snuck in behind a regimented rhythm, giving the song a baroque pop feel that was pretty popular at the time.Įight years later, by which time Taylor had become a megastar, he and producer Peter Asher possessed a far better understanding of his signature sound than when the song was first recorded. It was re-recorded for Taylor's 1976 Greatest Hits album in the version that is most familiar to listeners. I'm going to Carolina in my mind Verse 2 There ain't no doubt in no one's mind That love's the finest thing around Whisper something soft and kind And hey, baby, the sky's on fire, I'm dying.
Released as a single in 1969, the song earned critical praise but not commercial success. Taylor wrote it while overseas recording for the Beatles' label Apple Records, and the song's themes reflect his homesickness at the time. “Carolina In My Mind” is also somewhat of an anomaly in that a rerecorded version of it has actually become the one that is most well-known. 'Carolina in My Mind' is a song written and performed by singer-songwriter James Taylor, which first appeared on his 1968 self-titled debut album.
