I feel the sky tumblin' down
I feel my heart start to tremblin'
Whenever you're around
Ooh baby, when I see your face
Mellow as the month of may
Oh darlin', I can't stand it
When you look at me that way, hey
I feel the earth move under my feet
I feel the sky tumblin' down
I feel my heart start to tremblin'
Whenever you're around
Ooh darlin', when you're near me
And you tenderly call my name
I know that my emotions
Are somethin' I just can't tame
I just got to have ya, baby
Uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, yeah
I feel the earth move under my feet
I feel the sky tumblin' down, a-tumblin' down
I feel the earth move under my feet
I feel the sky tumblin' down, a-tumblin' down
I just a-lose control
Down to my very soul
I get hot and cold
All over, all over, all over, all over.
I feel the earth move under my feet
I feel the sky tumblin' down, a-tumblin' down
I feel the earth move under my feet
I feel the sky tumblin' down, a-tumblin' down
A-tumblin' down, a-tumblin' down
A-tumblin' down, a-tumblin' down
Tumblin' down
It was rarely, if ever, played at parties, but I suspect my friends played it as I did, the morning after the party, or when we were alone and wanted some finely crafted soul-soothing music. It still works for me.
Thanks, Carole!
A total doll. This album brings back so many memories for me..
Same here.
Never hear this song the same after knowing that's Eric Johnson on guitar.
I don't think Eric Johnson was doing session work until a few years after this album was recorded. He is on Carole King's 1982 album "One To One" though. I believe Danny Kortchmar does most of the guitar work on this album.
Concupiscent Carole

My 7th grade art teacher had a thing for Steppenwolf.
My art teacher was into Traffic and Jim Croce

Oh how I wished there would be a similar video of Bob Dylan's reaction on Jimi Hendrix doing a live performance of All Along The Watch Tower
The reaction of Led Zeppelin to Heart's cover of "Stairway to Heaven" is also great.

He would've probably given him a crooked smile and a nod of his head.

Still have the album.
My mom loved Carole King! Black Sabbath, not so much.

Without ever actually playing this album in it's entirety, I think I've heard every song on this album at some point since it was released almost 45 years ago except Home Again. Bob Stroud's long-running Sunday morning show in Chi., "Rock and Roll Roots", has featured these songs relentlessly since I started checking out about 20 years ago.
But I've never actually scanned the record sleeve. What exactly does "granfaloon" mean?
You had to ask and I had to look. Maybe someone was a Kurt Vonnegut fan with an inexact memory of the spelling of "granfalloon", a word that actually may have relevance to RPers and their love of this site:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Granfalloon
A granfalloon, in the fictional religion of Bokononism (created by Kurt Vonnegut in his 1963 novel Cat's Cradle), is defined as a "false karass". That is, it is a group of people who affect a shared identity or purpose, but whose mutual association is actually meaningless.
...
The most commonly purported granfalloons are associations and societies based on a shared but ultimately fabricated premise. As examples, Vonnegut cites: "the Communist Party, the Daughters of the American Revolution, the General Electric Company—and any nation, anytime, anywhere." A more general and oft-cited quote defines a granfalloon as "a proud and meaningless association of human beings." Another granfalloon example illustrated in the book were Hoosiers, of which the narrator (and Vonnegut himself) was a member.
In popular culture:
On the Carole King album Tapestry, James Taylor is credited with playing the Acoustic Guitar and the "granfalloon".

Still have the album.
Still reverberates in my soul.
Still have it on vinyl. Geeze, what a breath of fresh air it was...the Brill Building confronts the hippies and sez, "Well, show me what you got." And the hippies rose to the occasion. Both lived peaceably ever after.

I've just listened to an interview with Joni on Woman's Hour {1} on Radio Four (on the BBC) and she revealed (at 14:30 into the program) that the cat's name is Telemachus (the father of Ulysses) and Gerry (Goffin) named him. Alas the cat (kitty) is no more.
{1}. The program is at https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b00jpg35/Womans_Hour_08_04_2009/ for UK listeners, but if you use ipdl.exe anyone can download it and listen to it at their leisure.
