In the film, there's a poignant shot of cream swirling in a cup of coffee.
#Lyrics you re so vain carly simon movie
He said, "look at the clouds in your coffee," and mentioned that it looked like a shot from the 1967 French movie 2 or 3 Things I Know About Her, directed by Jean-Luc Godard. Carly had the window seat, and Mernit noticed the clouds from the window reflecting in her coffee. The phrase came courtesy of her friend and musical collaborator Billy Mernit, who was sitting next to Simon on the flight. Perhaps there is something in the bottom of the coffee cup that you could read if you could (like tea leaves or coffee grinds)." Like a mirage that turns into a dry patch. That which you can't see through, and yet seems alluring. She explained the meaning of the phrase, saying: "Clouds In My Coffee are the confusing aspects of life and love. Simon came up with the "Clouds in my coffee" line on a cross-country flight. As for Beatty's reaction, Simon said, "Warren thinks the whole thing is about him." When it came time to promote her memoir Boys in the Trees in 2015, Simon divulged that the second verse ("You had me several years ago when I was still quite naive.") is about Warren Beatty, and said that the other verses are about two different men, whom she wouldn't name. The rest of the descriptions basically came from my relationship with that person." In a 2008 interview to promote her album This Kind of Love, she said: "When I had the line 'You're so vain, you probably think this song is about you,' that was definitely about one person. The media and the general public seemed to want this to be about a specific person, however, and Simon was happy to indulge. It's not just about one particular person." The actual examples that I've used in the song are from my imagination, but the stimulus is directly from a couple of different sources. In 1974, she told Modern Hi-Fi and Music: "That song is about a lot of people.
Simon has been elusive and changed her story a bit when asked the inevitable question about the song (strange considering the album title).
The person Simon is singing about in this song remains a mystery, as she has never made it clear who she wrote it about rumors include Warren Beatty, Kris Kristofferson, Cat Stevens, and Mick Jagger, all of whom she had affairs with.
