    This is a great explanation of this classic. Carly said in interviews the letters A, E and R are in one of the persons names. Warren is the obvious choice. I believe she said its about 3 men that wronged her. Last verse is about a James Bond type of character.

    Your story and narration had me mesmerized….keep the stories behind the music coming. It makes me appreciate the songs even more and see them in a different light.

    Look at all the planning, substitutions, collaboration, tinkering, and work the producer and recording artist(s) put into this song. Today they would just run it through computer program and pitch correct it. They're even going back and pitch correcting classics from previous eras before auto tune was around. It's like a museum owner or director touching up and painting over Rembrandts, van Goghs, and other masterpieces to his liking or to make them more compatible with modern styles.

    Killing Me Softly with His Song, which won the Grammy over He's So Vain, is also based on a real person. (It is not "based off" a real person.)

    At 2.24, Carly is standing with he then hot boyfriend, Kris Kristofferson. Possibly about him? He left her for Rita Coolidge.

    You don't need to be French to know the meaning of gavotte. You just have to be an educated musician.
