Simon wrote the song on the guitar in 15 minutes, as she awaited for Cat Stevens to pick her up for a date. The song was used in commercials for Heinz Ketchup through the late 1970s into the 1980s. "Anticipation" is one of Simon's biggest hits. It has been included on several compilations of her work, including ''The Best of Carly Simon'' (1975), ''Clouds in My Coffee'' (1995), ''The Very Best of Carly Simon: Nobody Does It Better'' (1999), ''Anthology'' (2002), and ''Reflections: Carly Simon's Greatest Hits'' (2004). A live version from her 1988 album ''Greatest Hits Live'' was included on Sony BMG/Legacy's 2014 compilation release ''Playlist: The Very Best of Carly Simon''.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Playlist: The Very Best Of Carly Simon )〕 ==Critical reception== Stephen Davis, writing for Rolling Stone, stated "''Anticipation'' is a spirited examination of the tensions involved in a burgeoning romantic situation in which nobody has any idea of what's going on or what's going to happen." He continued "Carly's fine, aggressive vocal is complemented by Paul Glanz' lyrical piano comping, and drummer Andy Newmark's rhythms are to the point. The cut winds up with a surprising coda crescendo that pithily wraps up the premise of the message about anticipating things to come–Stay right here, 'cause these are the good old days". AllMusic reviewer Joe Viglione said of the track, "In retrospect the song (and the album) are among Carly's finest." And concluded "'Anticipation' was more than a great melody and performance, it became a pivotal bridge and foundation for fifteen years of hits." 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Anticipation (song)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
