Why (Carly Simon)


Listen Later

A (relatively) in-depth analysis of the song 'Why' by Carly Simon (as well as some other general stuff) in just under twenty minutes.

The song was recorded for the 1982 film Soup for One. The film was a flop, but the soundtrack, including Simon's song, was a success, particularly in Europe. The song Why, produced by Nile Rodgers and Bernard Edwards of Chic, also became a top 10 hit in the UK.

In 2021 it was reissued in a 12" format on the Unidisc label. Pressed on olive green vinyl with a white swirl, the reissue includes the 12" version, an instrumental version, and a radio edit. The pressing was also praised for the quality of its sound.

I do hope you enjoy this episode.
