Long Ago And Far Away (James Taylor Song)
"Long Ago and Far Away" is a song written by James Taylor and first released on his 1971 album ''Mud Slide Slim and the Blue Horizon''. It was the follow-up single to "You've Got a Friend" and became a Top 40 hit in the U.S. and a Top 20 hit in Canada, and made the Top 10 on the Adult Contemporary chart in the U.S. It has also been covered by New York Voices and Johnny Mathis. Lyrics and music Taylor wrote "Long Ago and Far Away" in 1970, about a year before it was recorded for ''Mud Slide Slim''. Joni Mitchell sings background vocals and Carole King plays piano. It is a sad song that Taylor biographer Timothy White calls "among the most wistful of Taylor's vast catalogue of secular hymns." The theme of the song is how things don't turn out as planned, how dreams don't usually match the ultimate reality and how expectations don't last. The lyrics describe a young man whose dreams have not come true. The lyrics evoke a motif common in Taylor's songs, that of the sea and sailin ...

All In The Timing
''All in the Timing'' is a collection of one-act plays by the American playwright David Ives, written between 1987 and 1993. It had its premiere Off-Broadway in 1993 at Primary Stages, and was revived at Primary Stages in 2013. It was first published by Dramatists Play Service in 1994, with a collection of six plays; however, the updated collection contains fourteen. The short plays are almost all comedies (or comedy dramas), focusing mainly on language and wordplay, existentialist perspectives on life and meaning, as well as the complications involved in romantic relationships. High-school and college students frequently perform the plays, often due to their brevity and undemanding staging requirements. Original six plays *'' Sure Thing'': A man and a woman meet for the first time in a cafe, where they have an awkward meeting continually reset each time they say the wrong thing, until, finally, they romantically connect. *'' Words, Words, Words'': Three chimpanzees, named ...

Long Ago And Far Away (Charlie Haden And Brad Mehldau Album)
''Long Ago and Far Away'' is a duo album by Charlie Haden and Brad Mehldau. It was recorded in 2007 and released by Impulse! Records in 2018. Music and recording The music is from a 2007 concert at the Enjoy Jazz Festival in Mannheim, Germany. The material is standards. On "Au Privave", after the theme is stated, "a change of key signals a narrative switch to flurries of notes, trills and single note lines. Haden, unhurried, shifts harmonic focus underneath until the theme returns, pulled into fragments that lean back on the beat." Release and reception The album was released by Impulse! Records in 2018. The AllMusic reviewer commented on the "casual intensity, and the willingness to commune with yearning lyricism one minute and dive into dark voids the next, that make Mehldau and Haden's duo work here so compelling." Track listing #"Au Privave" - 9:55 #"My Old Flame" - 9.13 #"What'll I Do" - 12:00 #" Long Ago and Far Away" - 15:05 #"My Love and I" - 12:59 #" Everything Ha ...
