Where his classic Capitol albums were thematic, this is a concept, in reality a song cycle, play, story, about an imaginary New England town. Bob Gaudio and Jake Holmes created this tale of a man who has been left by his wife to look after their children. Each song adds to the imagery and at the same time conveys the sadness of a man without hope. It is a brilliant, underrated album and amongst serious Sinatraphiles it causes tempers to fray in heated debate as to its true merits. As a concept album it was very definitely the sum of its parts. Watertown can be bought here.

It was released in March through Reprise Records. It is a concept album centered on a man from Watertown, New York. In a series of soliloquies, the nameless narrator tells his heartbreaking story of personal loss: his wife has left him and their two boys for the lure of the big city. Watertown was produced and co-written by Bob Gaudio , one of four members of the rock band the Four Seasons , with Jake Holmes also co-writing the songs. It is the only album where Sinatra ever voiced over pre-recorded orchestral tracks. The album was released to mixed critical reviews and poor sales, with it being Sinatra's only major album release not to chart inside the top of the Billboard In , Sinatra's sales were low. Sinatra was no stranger to concept albums, having done them in the past, such as In the Wee Small Hours in Gaudio and Valli brought Sinatra a fully written album that told the story of a man raising his two young sons in Watertown after his wife leaves him for the city. He would never again record his vocals without a live orchestra.

Old Watertown, nothing much happenin', down on Main, 'cept a little rain Old Watertown, everyone knows, the perfect crime, killin' time And no one's goin' anywhere, livin's much too easy there It can never be a lonely place when there's the shelter of familiar faces Who can say it's not that way, Old Watertown, so much excitement To be found hangin' round, there's someone standing in the rain Waiting for the morning train, it's gonna be a lonely place Without the look of familiar faces, but who can say it's not that way Unfortunately, we are not licensed to display the full lyrics for this song at the moment due to a DMCA takedown request.
As my husband learns about Mormonism I get to see it through his fresh eyes. I'd gladly give it all up to have him and feel wanted. You are too young to deal with this. If she expresses interest in converting, be prepared to talk about your beliefs, and help her find ways to learn about and follow them. You can always expand these into group dates by inviting other couples along, which may make her more comfortable in the early stages of your relationship. She is probably thinking she can convert you if she is with you long enough and is a good enough example. And some will do that. Don't do it girls, forget the "status" it doesn't mean jack. She will not marry you until you convert to mormonism whole cloth. A stiff dick has no awareness How's a lifetime of garments and 3 hour meetings sound.
