Could I be a nuisance and ask if you'd mind getting a closer shot of Hard Advice and I Don't Care, sorcerer999, so I can see the lyrics as little easier? Or just transcribe them. Apparently my eyes aren't quite up to the job and I'm quite interested in those two tracks in particular but some words I'm not 100% clear on...

No rush but I'm a little curious. I really appreciate the photos, though! It all looks lovely.

thirty-six thru forty...

...and that's all she wrote...

So it's her, Vanessa and Jessi on Carousel. Sweet. I've heard Jessi sing before but literally only a few seconds on Instagram so that's kind of cool.

Again, not to be a nuisance but is there any chance of a closer shot of the large chunk of text on the last photo - of all the names? Am curious to see who made it and if there are any odd omissions but can't work all of them out. Cheers. x

The lyrics printed on the insert are very light overlapping another very light color on the songs in question. But I'll try again. Here you go...that's really the best I could do. It's hard to read, even with the darn thing in my hand.

No, that's great! Thank you! I can read that. I could sort of make out some of it before but this is plenty clear enough for me. Thank you so much.

THANK YOU!

And my attempt at the lyrics of those two songs. Not quite sure on a few words in I Don't Care but I think most of it is correct. Again, thanks.

I DON’T CARE

I don’t care where you go
I don’t care what you do
I don’t care what you said
I just care that you love me

I don’t care where you go
I don’t care what you do
I don’t care what you said
I just care that you love me

Sometimes love happens
Things you never dreamed

I don’t care what you do
I don’t care it’s not my thing
I don’t care about diamond rings
I just care that you need it

I don’t care about next year
I don’t care about yesterday
I don’t care that you don’t see it
I just care that you feel it

Sometimes love happens
Things you never dreamed

I don’t mean it
I do care
I would follow you
Anywhere

Sometimes love happens
Things you never dreamed
Sometimes the beauty overwhelms you
Love is blind
Not this time
Love is blind
Not this time
I see you clearly
Don’t take that love away… ooh baby
Fade away

I don’t care what you do
I don’t care it’s not my thing
I don’t care about diamond rings
I just care that you need it

I don’t care about next year
I don’t care
I don’t care that you don’t see it
I just care that you feel it

Ooh baby

I don’t mean it
I do care
No, I don’t mean it
I would follow you anywhere
What would my life be without you in it
Shattered, broken, lost and empty
In the mirror

I don’t mean it
I do care
I would follow you anywhere
What would my life be without you in it
Shattered, broken, lost and [???]
I don’t care

Love is blind

Not this time

Now I see you clearly

Don’t take that love away
Ooh baby
Ooh baby
Don’t let that love fade away
Ooh baby
Ooh baby
Love is blind
But not this time
Love is blind

But not this time
Ooh baby

Love is blind
Not this time

Ooh baby
Ooh baby

HARD ADVICE

Sometimes late at night
I turn on the radio
Your music fills the room
I just can’t seem to get away from you

Saw a life size paper doll of you
In a record store
My friends as well as me
Can’t seem to let you go
It was finished long ago

Sometimes he’s my best friend
Even when he’s not around
But the sound of his voice
Well, it follows me down
And reminds me

Another famous friend told me
Love does end
Make a clean break
He didn’t talk about heartache
You have to let him go
Oh oh

Get over it
Remember how it was
Before our infamous pasts had begun
You have to let him go
He gives such hard advice, oh

He gives such hard advice
He says don’t think twice
Turn off the radio
It was finished long ago
Go write some real songs
This is all wrong

Sometimes he’s my best friend
Even when he’s not around
But the sound of his voice
Well, it follows me down
And reminds me

Sometimes he’s my best friend
Even when he’s not around
But the sound of his voice
Well, it follows me down
And reminds me

You have to get over this
The pain’s gone on too long
Go and write some real songs
Stay out of music stores
Don’t buy that doll

Sometimes, sometimes

Turn off that radio

Turn off that radio
Don’t buy that doll
Don’t buy that doll

And I think this should be pretty close. This is what I got of the dedication/s:

Special Dedication -

“Carousel”, written by Vanessa Carlton, was recorded by Vanessa, myself and my niece Jessi Nicks. This song became my Mother’s song in her last days. It is sung for her now… by her daughter, her granddaughter and her friend Vanessa. We know she hears us - and we dedicate this album to her - with love - from your girls.
Thank you, Barbara.
