The official lyric video for "Share The End (2025 Remaster)".
Legendary singer-songwriter Carly Simon revisits her iconic Anticipation album with a freshly remixed and remastered update of “Share The End,” a song—and a commentary—as spellbinding today as it was five decades ago. Originally recorded in 1971, “Share the End (2025)” gathers an all-star team of musical magicians: Paul Samwell-Smith, who originally produced “Share The End” in 1971 alongside the album Anticipation (The Yardbirds, Cat Stevens), Peter Vettese (Jethro Tull), and 7x GRAMMY® Award-winning mix engineer, Frank Filipetti (Frank Zappa, James Taylor, Elton John, Barbra Streisand, George Michael). Their contemporary mix enhances the song’s haunting melody and phantasmagoric lyrics, reminding a new generation how little has changed in the U.S., culturally and politically, in a half-century.
When Anticipation was released in 1971, Rolling Stone praised the album for its “lyrical depth and melodic brilliance,” adding that the expansive melodic and storytelling gifts of Simon and collaborator Jacob Brackman painted crystalline, timeless emotions. “A hauntingly bittersweet track that lingers in the heart,” wrote Billboard about “Share The End,” unaware that the strutting kings, wailing priests, stirred-up madmen, and distracting circus jugglers in the song are more present than ever five decades later as a chaotic country lurches toward what’s next.
Simon has this to say about the song in 1971 and today: “Share the End” always felt like a hidden gem—quiet but powerful.” She adds, “Today, in a time of war, real and phony despots, division, and dishonesty across the globe, it sometimes feels to me the world is still “going up in flames—five decades after I first recorded this song.”
