Love of My Life (Carly Simon song)

The single was a Top 40 success on the Billboard Adult Contemporary chart, peaking at #16.^[1] Simon made a music video for the song, which featured a young Ben Taylor (Simon's son), along with clips from the film.^[2]

Simon included the single on her compilations Clouds in My Coffee (1995), Anthology (2002), and Reflections (2004).^[3]

Inspiration and Alternate versions

Nora Ephron called Simon in 1991 and asked her to score her upcoming film, "This Is My Life". Ephron told her, "It's 'our story', about the tricky business of raising children and maintaining a solid career, without the benefit of a live-in father". Simon has stated the inspiration for the song was her children, Ben and Sally Taylor.^[4]

Simon re-recorded the song as a lullaby version for her 2007 album Into White. In this version, she altered the lyrics from "Woody Allen" to "Mia Farrow", and removed the 3rd verse.^[5]
