A song that could strike a chord in many of us. Performed by someone who holds more talent, style, grace and Love for what she does. Thank-you Carly Simon.
Fell in love with this song the moment I put the CD on to listen. The guitar, the drums, the rhythm, the story. Twenty seven years later, I still love it.
This song actually makes me cry every time I hear it. Ever since I first heard it on the radio way back in the 90's. It brings back some of the most beautiful memories of my life. God bless you Carly.
At 82 years old one might think that this "old guy" cannot experience the feedings that this song brings back to my memories. The "white nights" that me and a lovely young lady experienced in the 70's. I still feel the passion.
I'm two more years older, and once in a while when envision those passions and images of my white nights in the 70's with that lovely woman who was 14 years my junior, the feelings will never go away. I am a true romantic and the wrinkles on my face do not stand in the way of memories. Thanks for your thoughts
I can't express how much I love this song. This is one of those songs that has so much emotions attached to it based on memories. Specifically the summer nights in Cape Cod.
It has been over 25 years since I first heard this song, and I love it as much now as I did back then. Carly, you are the best! And yes, nobody does it better!
And I cried when he left me...and I think of you still....I have to say how these words haunt me. And Spanish Guitar music. Spain 1977. So long ago, and yet, just the other day.....
I have always loved Carly Simon the singer but also the person she is. Authentic, humble, talented, beautiful inside and outside! Her lyrics are never sexist....never putting down the opposite sex like most female singers do nowadays. Thank you Carly for respecting people and their differences, no matter what gender they are. You are one terrific person Mrs. Simon!
“Better Not Tell Her” (1992) is about a woman who is giving advice to an ex-boyfriend about his current flame, telling him to acknowledge some of the truth about them, but not all of it : “But if you slip and my name comes up Don’t deny that you knew me Just leave out the white nights” Secretly, the narrator hopes that the ex will come around and rekindle their romance… 💚💘💙
This should have won Best Video of the Year, the song topping the charts. (I never heard it till last year. Another great statement on the music industry.) The pain caused by an affair - to everyone; but in this video, the least to the man. The pearls dropping towards the end, her white chair ... they speak volumes only Carly can sing. Thank you for posting something so poignant and perfectly done. (P.S. To paraphrase one rock icon, "Give the guitar player some." Superb playing by Mr. Jay Berliner.)
I'm not so sure it was an affair. She might be an ex, saying this to her former boyfriend, and still her love. They broke up, and she still loves him. They may run in some of the same circles, and she does not want trouble with his current, possibly in fear of losing all contact with the man. I would HOPE the man is smart enough to not put initials of an affair in his diary... but a then-gf, yes.
carly simon, james taylor, carol King. They wrote most of the good stuff for the past 30 years. Not that Fluff that hits the charts, I'm talking about the stuff you remember.
just hold on to your "precious memories" for as long as possible, for they r the only things that matter in this crazed world. Ms. Simon was from a prior world, so different, much kinder in many ways, especially in the art world. i give myself this " advice" each day, especially when i "slip & fall" music, my refuge, always " rescues & uplifts " me>
Hey Carly your song is a dream come true. Too bad there's so many stupid and evil people in this world. I really love you and your music. Those musicians of yours are tremendously good and like you highly inspirational. I love you dear and happiest of holidays to you and all of yours.
By JOVE---that's one hell of a performance, of a very descriptive story, so familiar to many , and beautifully arranged too. One of Carly's very best. SMOKIN !!
Holy shit. I’ve loved this song since it was first played on the radio back in the day. Not until today did I know there was a video. Very fantastic and underrated song by one of the greats.
Wow, no need for meat dresses, personal xrated videos, just talent and oozing sexiness and she can sing too. This has always been my second favorite Carly song.
One of the most talented singers/songwriters ever! Compared to today's so-called "stars (Lady Gaga, 50- Cent, etc.) she is light years ahead. Carly's music is still being played 25- 35 years later. Think most of today's "artists" will have their stuff played decades later?
Don't worry Carly I'll never tell her.Well I better fire my semi up get out of Arizona and get to Atlanta.I'll be gear jamming and listening to your music all the way to the east coast like I do every week for the last 30 years.Love you Carly.AND I AM STILL YOUR BIGGEST FAN.ADIOS
🎶 🎵 Spent my summers on Cape Cod and Martha's Vineyard, so Carly is summertime with a sailboat on the ocean. Worked for a radio station one summer and I had to work the board early on Sundays to broadcast the church service. I'd get everything prepared, then crank BETTER NOT TELL ME on the program speakers in the studio- just me at 6am. It was my blood pumping jam. And yeah, I've briefly met Carly on the vineyard - it's hard not to, she's a local...and tall 😊 Say your hi and move on. Miss the Boogies at the AC on Thursday nights in ob. Miss the Taylor parties in Lamberts cove after the show 😅 TPD saw fit that they didn't last long 😢
2019....and I still cant get enough of these songs. Im getting older, 69, but Bob Johnson is sooo right. they fill you with passion. "All that I want is yo" should have been the theme song for Fifty Shades. Wish I had the opportunity to see her in person.
Carly I lost track of you catching up on the years your incredible , everyone tries to find out my originality in music myself, an you and I have similarities yet i have my own originality. Glad I knew your music funny everyone could not pin who influenced myself you are definitely were one. Thank you for your giving heart. Susan

One of the greatest lost love songs ever written. Carly is such a talent!
Fell in love with this song the moment I put the CD on to listen. The guitar, the drums, the rhythm, the story. Twenty seven years later, I still love it.
precisely, you sum it up well, the complete package is superb.
Same here
This song actually makes me cry every time I hear it. Ever since I first heard it on the radio way back in the 90's. It brings back some of the most beautiful memories of my life. God bless you Carly.
So glad someone writes music for grown ups. You are the best Carly!
so sensous and beautiful. carly is one of the rarest and best
She had the prettiest hair in this video! Carly Simon is the BEST!
This woman is incredible. God bless you Carly Simon and thank you for your wonderful music.❤
Carly has a great voice for singing songs just like this one!!!!!

It seems that those memories burn in my mind like embers from "the smoke from a different fire",

Wow. You inspire me.
Music and memories transform and transcend us all @bob johnson.

I would play this album for hours...Saturday...

Eu faria o mesmo!Adorei seu comentário!
Abraços do Brasil!👍❤😉
It has been over 25 years since I first heard this song, and I love it as much now as I did back then. Carly, you are the best! And yes, nobody does it better!
Great song from late 1990-1991. Can't believe it is already 25 years since I first heard this.
Almost 30 now (2019).
@@lisad7788 30 years now this was heard 1991.
Carly Simon ❤ one of the most real, talented women of our time! ❤
I always resonated to this song...never saw the video until now...awesome. Carly Simon, you are a beautiful genius of a siren.
Awww Carly you make me melancholy. Take me back. Lost loves and sad goodbyes. Such a beautiful song.
LOVE CARLY VERY MUCH I DO
And there are the ones you had no chance to say good-bye to..
And I cried when he left me...and I think of you still....I have to say how these words haunt me. And Spanish Guitar music. Spain 1977. So long ago, and yet, just the other day.....
One of my favorite songs from the 90’s
An amazing voice, lyric and music. Nobody does it better.
It’s 2024. This song is timeless.💕
So beautiful and talented
Always loved Carly s music. Comforting, and she is very talented.
Her words and melodies are gorgeous I just rediscovered this song, along with many of her other beautiful songs
Her best song..so seductive
It's April; 7, 2019, and I still love this song and the outstanding musicianship. I will always come back for a drink of this....
I broke up with a guy and played this song over n over. Beautiful. Especially over glass of good wine
One of the greatest choruses to any song ever.
She's just brilliant
The smoke may be gone but the warmth lingers after 43 years. Just hooked-up with her recently
I love Carly Simon's music
I keep coming back to listen again , again, I'm becoming a fan of Carly ,this is a good thing
I have always loved Carly Simon the singer but also the person she is. Authentic, humble, talented, beautiful inside and outside! Her lyrics are never sexist....never putting down the opposite sex like most female singers do nowadays. Thank you Carly for respecting people and their differences, no matter what gender they are.

I love this song. Carly Simon is one of the greatest!
This is such a lovely song about lost love! One of my Carly favourites.
One of the purest voices ever.
Superb song - always especially loved that flourish of guitar after "why you love Spanish dancing".
“Better Not Tell Her” (1992) is about a woman who is giving advice to an ex-boyfriend about his current flame, telling him to acknowledge some of the truth about them, but not all of it :
“But if you slip and my name comes up

Just leave out the white nights”
Secretly, the narrator hopes that the ex will come around and rekindle their romance… 💚💘💙
Thanks Carly
Just fantastic and Carly is so beautiful she can do no wrong for me.
Don't know how I missed this one back in 1990! Happy I found it in 2018. Have always liked Carly Simon. Music for grown-up people!
mature people, of all ages
Gorgeous, and one of my favorite of your songs.
Such a beautiful voice,song,lady

Carly loved her rhythmic percussion
Such a beautiful lady with just the greatest voice.
What a great video!!
Happy 76th Birthday🎂🥳
Stunning song...!
My favorite song from a CD that's 22 years old.
I love this song but my absolute favorite song from this musician is GIVE ME ALL NIGHT.
Don't worry Carly I'll never tell her.Well I better fire my semi up get out of Arizona and get to Atlanta.I'll be gear jamming and listening to your music all the way to the east coast like I do every week for the last 30 years.Love you Carly.AND I AM STILL YOUR BIGGEST FAN.ADIOS
I told her, the wife, and it’s my deepest regret
🎶 🎵
Spent my summers on Cape Cod and Martha's Vineyard, so Carly is summertime with a sailboat on the ocean.
Worked for a radio station one summer and I had to work the board early on Sundays to broadcast the church service.
I'd get everything prepared, then crank BETTER NOT TELL ME on the program speakers in the studio- just me at 6am.
It was my blood pumping jam.
And yeah, I've briefly met Carly on the vineyard - it's hard not to, she's a local...and tall 😊
Say your hi and move on.
Miss the Boogies at the AC on Thursday nights in ob.
Miss the Taylor parties in Lamberts cove after the show 😅
TPD saw fit that they didn't last long 😢
Carly, like no other, unique, particular is her style all day that Simon girl, does it windy or rained on, no matter, then good!
Boy, this brings back memories!
¡Diosa total!
Oh Carly, I've Loved this Beautiful Song for a long long time 🎶🥰
Love this!!!
A legend! ❣
2019....and I still cant get enough of these songs. Im getting older, 69, but Bob Johnson is sooo right. they fill you with passion. "All that I want is yo" should have been the theme song for Fifty Shades. Wish I had the opportunity to see her in person.
First heard this on an in-flight music channel in 1991. Loved it ever since. Great song pity it is not well known
this song is beautifully depressing and sad
true
miss simon is like a fine wine better with age
Carly I lost track of you catching up on the years your incredible , everyone tries to find out my originality in music myself, an you and I have similarities yet i have my own originality. Glad I knew your music funny everyone could not pin who influenced myself you are definitely were one. Thank you for your giving heart. Susan
