Coming Around Again (Carly Simon song)

A similar stripped-down arrangement of "Coming Around Again" (key of C) was used in Simon's recording of the classic children's song "Itsy Bitsy Spider" (key of G), which was the B-side of the single and also included on the Coming Around Again album. When the song is sung as part of a medley, as it is on the 1987 album Greatest Hits Live which is the soundtrack to her HBO special ''Live from Martha's Vineyard'', there is an extended turnaround acting not only as a bridge between the two songs, but also as a bridge between the two keys. ==Reception==
