Carole King composed this tune in 1971 but James Taylor's version made it famous. Performed on my Yamaha PSR-SX900 arranger keyboard.

Can you "Name That Tune"? I have a website that contains my complete collection of tunes with their titles revealed at: https://www.harveytwyman.com

Name That Tune #417 by Carole King

This was a song written with my mentor Terry L. Walters the summer I spent with him and his lovely wife Dawn in Lansing, Mi. Terry would strum a chord progression and I would sing a melody. When two musician are in sync there is nothing better.

******************
This is a song about depression and survival. 

When I wrote it I still had another 25 years of surviving it ahead of me. But I'd made a decision years before, when I was 14, that no matter how bad it got it would always get better, sooner or later. And it always did, at least for a while. And knowing that somehow made it just a little bit easier to smile.


[This is a new mix. Drums by John Bennetts have been added and everything else has been changed, at least a little.]

Verse 1:
It’s more than a song
But less than a dream
I know what I say
Is not what I mean
Pretending my words
Aren’t meant to deceive
I’m playing with doubt
I want to believe

I know that it’s hard
To explain why I’m here
I complain though I know
There is nothing to fear
But the fear and the doubt
That wind through my mind
Are inventions of mine
That help pass the time

Chorus:
So here is my song
I wrote it for me
I need to recall
That it’s easy to be
The times that I’ve faced
My life as a trial
Have taught me to see
That it’s easy to smile

Verse 2:
I’m more than a child
But less than a man
I know where I’ve been
But not who I am
I'll say that I'm strong
I'll tell you I’m free
But none of that's true
I just want it to be

Once I entered a room
I pulled down the shade
I turned out the lights
I wanted to fade
But I noticed the wall
Right there looking at me
Pretending to be blind
I really wanted to see

Chorus:
So here is my song
I wrote it for me
I need to recall
That it’s easy to be
The times that I’ve faced
My life as a trial
Have taught me to see
That it’s easy to smile

Verse 3:
It all seemed to happen
A while ago
At a time I was lost
I just didn’t know
That doubting was simply
A game that I had
It gave me a reason
For feeling this bad

There are times there are changes
My memory moves
Preaching the patterns
I’ve worn into grooves
Repeating mistakes
I made in my youth
Learning the lines
And calling them truth
I can’t help but change
Can't help but survive
I might drown in doubt
But I'll still be alive

Chorus:
So here is my song
I wrote it for me
I need to recall
That it’s easy to be
The times that I’ve faced
My life as a trial
Have taught me to see
That it’s easy to smile

Self-Portrait (Alternate Mix)

“Just the Way That It Goes” is a reflective song about navigating life’s inevitable ups and downs. The overarching message is of accepting that not everything will work out as planned, but there’s no need to dwell on setbacks. With a blend of honesty and resilience, the lyrics remind us to let go, keep moving forward, and find peace in life’s unpredictability.

Every mirror lies. It reflects a face I don't recognize, sharp fragments of a me that no longer belongs to me. Cracks on the skin, emptiness in the eyes. It's not beauty that's missing — it's identity that's crumbling. This is my war against the reflection.

[Verse]
Her mirror whispers
It cuts like glass
She sees a shadow
Her beauty won’t last
From the navel rises
A storm in her core
A flood of self-doubt
She can’t ignore

[Chorus]
She’s a masterpiece
Painted in pain
A work of art drowning in rain
Her eyes see cracks where there’s a glow
The mirror’s a liar
But she’ll never know

[Verse 2]
Each morning’s war
A battlefield stare
The mirror’s her rival
It doesn’t play fair
It twists her reflection
Bends her light
Leaves her in darkness
Hiding from sight

[Chorus]
She’s a masterpiece
Painted in pain
A work of art drowning in rain
Her eyes see cracks where there’s a glow
The mirror’s a liar
But she’ll never know

[Bridge]
The navel’s a spiral
Pulling her deep
A black hole of sorrow
Where secrets creep
She’s screaming silent
Her beauty denied
Fighting the ghost that lives inside

[Chorus]
She’s a masterpiece
Painted in pain
A work of art drowning in rain
Her eyes see cracks where there’s a glow
The mirror’s a liar
But she’ll never know

"Jaded" is a stripped-back confessional from These Guitars Say Sorry, driven by nothing more than an acoustic guitar and a weary, emotionally raw vocal. The song unfolds like a private conversation, where resignation meets reflection. With lyrics that cut straight to the bone — “I’m just too old for this” — it explores the weight of experience, disillusionment, and the quiet acceptance that not all questions have answers. The sparse arrangement gives space to every word, allowing the melancholy honesty to linger.
