    If you want live Carly try "You're So Vain" or even go back to the beginning with "That's the Way I've Heard it Should Be". One of my favourites is "Anticipation" that Carly wrote before a date with Cat Stevens.
    "Working Girl" was a great little film with this song played at the very end.

    Working Girl was a good movie, a rom-com that was nominated for Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actress, Best Supporting Actress. Carly Simon also sang the theme song for the James Bond film, The Spy Who Loved Me. That song is Nobody Does It Better, and it hit number 2 on the Billboard Hot 100. But I think You’re So Vain is probably her best known song.

    Though I love this song, she has a lot of greater songs, imo, like "You're so vain", "The right thing to do", "Nobody does it better" or "Coming around again". She's amazing!

    Yes, more Carly...if you want to hear her famous stuff, do "You're So Vain", if you want to see more of her vocal technique, go with "Nobody does it better" or "That's the Way I've always heard it should be".

    This is one of my favorite songs. You have the most INTELLIGENT and patient, reactions.With very minimal pausing and interrupting. The research at the beginning, is quite interesting and puts a bit of cultural context on the music. The World Trade Center, looming in the fog, is eerie.

    This is a very different sound for Carly Simon. I don't think the 80s were very kind to her, but then it wasn't terribly kind to many of the singer-songwriters. She had one good album in the late 80s and then this. I'd try You're So Vain, Nobody Does It Better, Anticipation, That's The Way They Always Said It Would Be, You Belong to Me; Haven't Got Time for the Pain. There's also Mockingbird that she recorded with her then-husband, James Taylor.

  • @otisblack3921

    Carly has some wonderfully poignant and insightful songs…..even several “signature” songs which successfully embody both her sonic stamp as well as her insecurities and intrepid ness. Check out “We Have no Secrets” and “Boys in the Trees”. If your goal is to dig deeper and discover true diamonds then I would suggest “Never Been Gone”, “We Just Got Here” and “We’re so Close”, the latter being an urgent tear-jerker incited by prolonged resignation. As a final feather in the cap of brilliant sadness is her rendition of “I Get Along Without You Very Well”. I dare you not to cry.

    • @reddoxx4754

    @jayo.7086 Рік тому +2

    “Let the River Run”, along with “Nobody Does It Better” and “Jesse”, are my favorite Carly songs, but there are a lot you could chose that would be great reactions. I love how LTRR starts, then builds and builds until it’s powerful ending. It also elicits a lot of different emotions in me: the humor of the movie, the inspiration and hopefulness of the song, the wistfulness of the 80s era now long gone…all tinged with the darkness of seeing the World Trade Center in the NYC skyline.
    I remember seeing the movie with my girlfriend, and when the music started with the opening scene, we looked at each other and started laughing. It seemed especially loud in the theater, and just bombastic and over the top. But it works. It pulls you in. I can’t think of the song without the movie, and vice versa. For that reason, a very worthy Oscar winner.

    I have a deep admiration & love for Carly and her music. Her songs have a way of uplifting my spirits. However, it's been challenging for me to fully enjoy her music and watch her in videos like this, knowing that she has endured tremendous loss in the past year. In 2022, Carly tragically lost two sisters within days of each other. The last time I saw her, she appeared unwell, which only intensifies my concern for her well-being. It saddens me to witness the passing of many of my musical idols in the last few years, and Carly would undoubtedly be one of them…I pray we still have more time with her. Her voice is incredibly unique, and her songwriting skills are truly exceptional. Praying for you Carly🙏🏽❤

    I love this song and the movie where it appeared. "Working Girl" starred Melanie Griffith whose daughter Dakota Johnson starred recently in the "50 Shades of Grey" movies. Melanie's mom is Tippi Hedron who starred in "The Birds". For Carly Simon, you really should listen to "You're So Vain". The rumor was always that it was about Warren Beatty.

  • @DavidTateVA
    @DavidTateVA 11 місяців тому

    The movie was "Working Girl" -- Harrison Ford, Melanie Griffith, Sigourney Weaver -- and an awesome film. But this song was a huge part of the soundtrack, and Carly nailed it. "World Beat" wasn't a well known sound at the time, but this track helped to make it a big thing.

    Artists worked very hard back then. They tried to get recorded and played on the airwaves on a dream and a prayer, they sang like birds and had passion and wrote their own songs and learned to play an instrument such as the guitar or the piano or whatever fit their personality, sang from the soul with wonderfuly unique and modulated voices, had a message that uplifted their audiences; we didn't have any autotune and few commercial song writers to turn mediocre performers such as Arianna Grande into pop superstars.
    They shone because they had true talent, were full of energy, and provided the soundtrack for all the little details of our lives, our first kiss, first broken bone, first encounter with a bully, first car and first accident and first traffic ticket, family gatherings and New Years and the Fourth of July.
    The artists that dominated the airwaves on the AM/FM radio were gods. And I have the records and eight-tracks to prove it.
    Far out, man, stay groovy. Peace.

    There is a video of her playing “You’re so Vain” live by water. It is a good one to listen to and also rare. She suffered EXTREME stage fright, so getting a chance to see her live is a rarity. She is one of the great of the singer songwriters like Carole King -you should listen to the entire Tapestry album if you haven’t: amazing - James Taylor (I believe they dated.) She is part of that whole group of talented singer songwriters. Enjoy. 😊
