Carly Simon's New Song Reveals Divorce Pain

Carly Simon's latest album, "Comes in Waves," released recently, features "Mother of Pearl," a poignant track reflecting on her early 1980s divorce from James Taylor. The song tenderly addresses their daughter, Sarah, and son, Ben, acknowledging the difficult circumstances they faced during the marital split.

This 12-track record, Simon's first in 18 years, was recorded on Martha's Vineyard with her children. She explained that the album's title, "Comes in Waves," signifies the natural arrival and departure of feelings like love, grief, and joy.

Simon previously shared in 2015 that despite not speaking with Taylor, she wished him healing. She reflected on her enduring loyalty and the personal growth derived from understanding love without reciprocation, a realization that emerged while writing her memoir, "Boys in the Trees."
