We're So Close - Carly Simon

[fran9860]

My life is complete.

[MrJeffbazell1]

Too bad it's lip-sync'd to the studio recording. I don't like that.

[JamesLM2006]

@MrJeffbazell1 That's how most videos were made back then. Nothing was live.

[AuthorLLaurence]

I don't know how anyone could not love this elegant and profound love song. Carly has always been a classy woman from day one. Carly has lived so many of the love songs that she sings. Carly has NEVER been in the news for anything negative. No drug or sex scandals for this queen of class!

[kennyt1230]

The lyrics are amazing.

[maria81860]

One of Carly Simon's best songs ever! Thank you for posting!

Sometimes I gout to the car, Turn on the headlights Intending to leave- Sometimes I need to hear the words, My imagination's not as strong as you'd believe- But I've talked to you; You haven't listened at all. I've said I'm numb, I can't even cry, I'm stuck with acting out a part. He says: what do words ever reveal? He says: in speaking one can be so false- We're so close we have a silent language, We don't need words at all.

[CommentsSurvey]

There's a husky voice

That speaks to me in the dark

And on the phone from studios

And Westside bars,

Through tunnels of long distance.

He says: we're beyond flowers

He says: We're beyond compliments-

We're so close we can dispense with love

We don't need love at all.

[laneatlileden]

he does take us there like driveing Carly Simon around in your 1973 super beetle in some 8 track movie flashback and your the star. breath off the top of a light house.

[larrygentry]

she's always spoken her own particular truth

[PatrickTRandolph]

I recall late summer nights and the breezes through the pines of northern Wisconsin when I listen to the magic of this song. That was some 30 years ago. Ah, the wonder

of music as a "memory elicitor".

[tfmcbride1]

Great song. I was always amazed that this wasn't a huge hit. Carly Simon is just the best.

[pg1alexx]

[HOMELESSSTATION]

We hope Carly won;t mind us posting her song on our blog for and by homeless people called EXPOSE HOMELESSNESS on Google.. This is such a beautiful song and we want to post it for VALENTINES DAY!

[jrmodugno]

This song is so beautiful--heart-wrenching, really. Carly is so talented and has a one-of-a-kind voice. I love this lady! The song is elegant and the words and mood blend perfectly with the music and arrangement. Here is real artistic talent. She's a poet. A star!

[secondaryactons]

i need to buy all her cd's now.

[dwayne122]

What a fantastic song.  Her artistry stands the test of time very well.

[Cicilo1983]

What a magnificent, underrated masterpiece. It still gives me goosebumps. Anyone who has ever been through a slowly crumbling relationship can relate to this. Music never gets so personal these days - it's all about sex, parties, drugs and crass capitalism. God, I miss the days when music was about trying to move people on an emotional level... Let's hope Carly will keep writing and releasing new music, we need legends like her to remind us about the power of art.

[vexviper]

OMG! Baby if I was only borne earlier and have you as mine I would not want anything more.

Thank you!

[jaenerisimo]

Great theme. Introduced by the piano played by Carly, with a tune that is after heard in the song. Some pop-jazz. A saxophone. And superb Carly's singing and feeling. A classical pop song of the last seventies.

[PRETTYtsKELLY]

Wow she is very very PRETTY here!That hair!!! The mouth..

[HOLIIES]

maravilhosa ,uma voz abençoada bjs

[sweetiepie1959]

HER MUSIC HAS BEEN MY "THERAPIST" SINCE 1971!

[carlysimonfan1989]

@sweetiepie1959 i agree

Carly's music got me through some rough times

a few years ago i was going through a breakup with my ex girlfriend

i listened to you're so vain and it made me realize how my ex really is.

Thank you Carly for getting me through these rough times with your beautiful music.

Love Always

Michael

[27sepulchre]

@sweetiepie1959 I wish I'd thought of that first but it sums up my feelings exactly. Thanks

[rattymary]

@sweetiepie1959 Mine Too,,,,Love Her So Much

[treg1980]

@sweetiepie1959 Mine since 2004, but I'm younger than you are, but know eactly what you mean!

[kennyt1230]

She's such a great songwriter. I love this song.

[ModfathersGunMoll]

Wow, I wanted to cry, listening to the words of this song. Brilliant and heartbreaking.

[funkwhite]

No other singer can touch Carly Simon when it comes to emotional impact in a pop song. Simply the best...

[HOLIIES]

[sookiestackhouse2u]

[Commonsensitivity]

Best female artist....EVER!!!

[NaturVita]

Great song, reminds me of my ex.

[MrKingsRow]

Love this song...wonderful! :)

[derek4ur]

this is a phenomenal song. too bad the vid stops every three seconds the first time you watch it.

[swampzoid]

this song is a part of me

[bonjourdadou]

This has got to be one of her most perfect songs. I'm pretty sure she's lipsyncing here because it sounds exactly like the album version, but it's still great to see her do it. Love you, Carly.

[QErgane]

... I understand this song so much more from the interior after experiencing this myself.

Btw, the biographical note, I think she is referencing her relationship with James Taylor.

... I *think*

[missinglowell]

this has to be one of her saddest snapshots of a (her) relationship; she's at her best singing from her own experience, and not trying to please the record company. She's in a class by herself, bringing lyrics and music together to a pain everyone can relate to ...

[simpsonsground]

i wish she would bring out a cd with all her video recordings

[celticsarebest]

this is Carly's most underated album.close to her 1st album.Carly has a new cd coming in oct,2009.

[siobhandonnelly]

Great Song, Carly Simon has a great voice.

[CarlySimonFan]

"OH, BUT I'VE TALKED TO YOU, YOU HAVEN'T LISTENED AT ALL"  ummm hmmm great lyrics!

[swampzoid]

omagod - this is a gem.

thank you thank you thank you

[coralprincess25]
