"Watertown" by Frank Sinatra...........................This album documents the breakdown of Frank's marriage to Mia Farrow..........It is a great listen and has something new in it each time you hear it. Frank is in his 60's form where his voice is mellow and his singing shows years of practice making it perfect. He is at a point in his life when he knows what life means and he can express it . He still shows the scares from his split with Ava Gardener......indeed there are echos of him still wanting her in this album....................Not the usual from Frank not what the casual listener might expect but, instead it is an off the wall oddity which makes it something of a cult classic.
Nice to be able to go back to trust and friendship!!!!!!!!!
It's a mixed up sensation this being alive
Oh! it wears a man down into the ground
It's the strangest elation
I can't describe it
Oh it leaves a man weary
It makes a man frown..............................Chris Simpson ( "Mixed Up Sensations" 1975 Martin's Cafe )
