The more one knows ... ( 7 months ago by Skylark2020)

The more one knows about songwriting, the more one will recognize the greatness of Jimmy Webb.

Skylark - I agree.. ... ( 7 months ago by IngaMarr)

Skylark - I agree...but if you listen to the lyrics for "Nepenthe", "Orange Air", and "Requiem: 820 Latham" - all of them odd but poetic, you might sense a slight difference between them and a line like "between the parted pages/we were dressed in love's hot fevered irons/like a strip
èd pair of pants" - great stuff, admitedly, but I smirk everytime I hear it. That said, I can't believe Webb is not seen to be as important as Bacharach or Laura Nyro.

actually, it's "(we) were PRESSED in love's, hot fevered iron, like a striped pair of pants" (caught in love's passion). I also translate the "danc(ing) between the parted pages" to represent the pages of life opening for Jimmy and his love, as they explored their new life together--never knowing what the next "page" (day of life) would bring for them. Am I wrong about this?

Everyone MUST read his book, "Tunesmith" if you are the least bit interested in writing music and lyrics. It's FABULOUS 2X.

I didn't know he ... ( 4 months ago by ktoad4)

I didn't know he wrote a book but I'll look for it on Amazon. I've always been in awe of Jimmy Webb's songwriting. Forgive me for not haviong the time to read through all the posts, but wasn't he just 17 when he wrote McArthur's Park? (SP) Sure it's weird, but stunningly beautiful. I was only 4 yrs. old but I've never gotten it out of my head. God gave Jimmy Webb a gift that I am happy he shares with us.

I always wanted to ... ( 4 months ago by BloozeDaddy76)

I always wanted to hear Jimmy Webb sing his songs that Glen Campbell made famous. I read somewhere that he was a weak singer, but I think he does a very respectable job here on this great song. Glen has the better voice for sure, but Webb sings this with feeling and puts his own style to it.

That is about right. At 17, I was burning ants off of the sidewalk with a magnifying class and he was writing McArthur Park. Doesn't seem right somehow.

Well, if you are just 14 yrs old you still haven't even earned your wings to post here.
Issac Hayes was a great singer (RIP) but he only did this song justice in his own way.
You have to know the landscape and the lonliness of the destinations that Jimmy wrote about. I have lived in Phoenix, Oklahoma and now I live in Albuquerque
Glen Campbell did and still does the best version of this song.
Oh yeah, I went to Spain one time. The poeple were total assholes everywhere I went.
