Are you going to Scarborough Fair?
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
Remember me to one who lives there
For once she was a true love of mine

The tune and lyrics date back to the Middle Ages. The herbs were mentioned for their spiritual meaning in medieval lore. Parsley was thought to remove bitter emotions. Sage was a symbol of wisdom and healing. Rosemary evoked remembrance, and was used to bless weddings with love and fidelity. Thyme was a symbol of courage and chivalry.
Thank you; very interesting. I always thought this sounded Medieval. It is so nostalgic.
The song is from the perspective of a man who has died (or is dying) knowing he’ll never return home, he says to tell his love to complete impossible tasks for him to return, and in the end mentions Heather (a flower where none bloom white near corpses nor graves) parsley sage rosemary and thyme are herbs all associated with the deceased and sometimes burned for blessings. More so in old traditions burned for passing from life into death, and we’re also used during the plague to protect from the disease.
The song is quite dark and sad when you understand the context.
If you believe that --- then you`re smoking too many herbs .
lovely
❤
This is so haunting. Those harmonies are just unreal.
I agree. "Haunting" is the right word to describe the melody. But I don't understand referencing parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme. Are they going to smoke it or roast a chicken?
Because it's not simply harmony. There is counterpoint-usually found in classical music, they somehow managed to incorporate not only melodic but also poetic counterpoint.
RSR012 can you explain a counterpoint in more detail it sounds interesting
"poly" harmonies all harmonizing. Very intricate harpsichord...many delicate harmonies harmonizing all at the same time.
Absolutely agree. When Art Garfunkel starts wailing away so melancholy on the chorus I want to the swan that is here and gone.....
Someone said this song may be timeless but it’s certainly not thymeless
lmao
Must have been a very sage person who said that.
lol
best comment ever
Brilliant 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
As a teenager my father suggested we watch The Graduate, we did and the music of S & G just blew me away. My father died two years ago today and I am listening to Scarborough Fair and thinking of him with tears in my eyes. Thanks Dad for all those things that you got right. I miss you..
Beautiful words
And with that, tears now in my eyes...
@@frankcascioli9289mine as well
Sorry for your loss, just know you're stronger than a lot of people. There's always someone going through something worse, remember that
My son is at the age of 20. I am not sure if I will suggest him to watch the movie. It seems there is too much adult content in the movie. I am not against his watching it. Yes, the music is fantastic.
When I was in Vietnam, this music helped me survive.
I can’t imagine how surreal it must have been to listen to such beautiful music in the midst of what you lived through.
My own nation was not involved, so I don’t know anyone who was there, but what I have seen on the television leads me to be glad that you are still here, and enjoying good music.
I wish you well, Sir. ❤
🙏🏾💪🏽
Thank you for sharing that,.. and for your undeniable courage 🙏
God. That really got me.
Ty so much for your service.
Recorded in 1966 - over 50 years ago and it's still amazing today.
55 wow
And written over 300 years ago
dude the song was written in 1253 CE. its been about 769 years since it was written.
It sure is it's breathtaking
@@AadityaBhowmickNo it was written in the 1400s. 😊🇬🇧
Simon and Garfunkel were HUGE in the late 1960s when I was a college student. That their music has endured for 55 years is a testament to the beauty that they created.
They can't stand the sight of each other . 😄
@@johncostello3174 lol fair point well made. And neither of them wrote this song anyway. 😄
Is there ever going to come a time when people realise Paul Simon did not write Scarborough Fair? The song is centuries old.
It's the pot that lived on
damn, u still alive
Lyrics
Are you going to Scarborough Fair?
Parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme
Remember me to one who lives there
She once was a true love of mine
Tell her to make me a cambric shirt (in the deep forest green)
Parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme
(Tracing of sparrow on snow-crested ground)
Without no seams nor needle work
(Bedclothes the child of the mountain)
Then she'll be a true love of mine
(Sleeps unaware of the clarion call)
Tell her to find me an acre of land
(A sprinkling of leaves)
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
(Washes the grave with silvery tears)
Between the salt water and the sea strands
(And polishes a gun)
Then she'll be a true love of mine
Tell her to reap it with a sickle of leather
(Blazing in scarlet battalions)
Parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme
(Generals order their soldiers to kill)
And gather it all in a bunch of heather
(A cause they've long ago forgotten)
Then she'll be a true love of mine
Are you going to Scarborough Fair?
Parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme
Remember me to one who lives there
She once was a true love of mine
Thanks so much for posting these!!
THANK YOU FOR THE LYRICS 🎵🎶❤️🇨🇦
I never saw or really knew the lyrics of this beautiful song until now so thank you for sharing 💜
This uses counterpoint and fugue-like structure so it’s really hard to write the lyrics, but you nailed it, thank you
Wow, its all about sweet herbs
One of the most beautiful recordings ever made.
can't argue that
Agree!

"Scarborough Fair" is a traditional English ballad about the Yorkshire town of Scarborough.
The song relates the tale of a young man who instructs the listener to tell his former love to perform for him a series of impossible tasks, such as making him a shirt without a seam and then washing it in a dry well, adding that if she completes these tasks he will take her back. Often the song is sung as a duet, with the woman then giving her lover a series of equally impossible tasks, promising to give him his seamless shirt once he has finished
As the versions of the ballad known under the title "Scarborough Fair" are usually limited to the exchange of these impossible tasks, many suggestions concerning the plot have been proposed, including the hypothesis that it is about the Great Plague of the late Middle Ages.
Paul Simon learned the song in London in 1965 from Martin Carthy, who had picked up the tune from the songbook by Ewan MacColl and Peggy Seeger and included it on his eponymous 1965 album. Simon & Garfunkel set it in counterpoint with "Canticle"-a reworking of the lyrics from Simon's 1963 anti-war song, "The Side of a Hill", set to a new melody composed mainly by Art Garfunkel.
Paul Aquino beautiful copy and paste job
Paul Aquino Don't listen to that Overkill guy... he's just mad *he* never learned how to copy & paste.
@@bellbookcandle3051 Damn the general must have ordered you to shoot to kill like the soldiers being referenced in the song.

I qoute you on facebook, but - do youself have a source ?
So beautiful. Since my son passed away in 2021, almost everyday songs from my past float into my mind songs from when my boy was alive. He was my first best friend, I miss him so so much. Sean Lee Phillips Aug 26, 1972-August 2, 2021. Rest in peace my son with the Holy Angels and Jesus Our King Forever. I Love You Forever.
May you find comfort in the memories of time spent with him. Perhaps you will enjoy this cover of 'Scarborough Fair/ Canticle', which is the best I've found on RUclips: ruclips.net/video/G9iVG4kg0sg/видео.html .
I am so sorry you lost your son, Suzanne. The shock of losing your son must be passing and the pleasant memories are coming back to greet you. I encouranage you to listen to more S&G.
Thank you Mary for your kind response, it helps:)@@maryheadley4853
Oh my God, I am so sorry. I cannot imagine your pain. :(
My daughter was my best friend too.. .
Oh my the harmonies are like a shower of diamonds floating back to medieval britian. Gorgeous.
Written in England centuries ago, original lyrics are great to look up;
_O, where are you going?_
*To Scarborough fair,*
*Savoury sage, rosemary, and thyme;*
_Remember me to a lass who lives there,_
_For once she was a true love of mine._
@@TonyEnglandUK I love the word "lass"
That England is no more...sadly...
I grew up with my parents singing this song and playing their acoustic guitars. My dad with the main part, my mom coming in with "canticle". It was an absolutely beautiful thing to experience, and listening to this now takes me right back to that time. Thank you for the memory, S & G.

Nobody in my family has any musical talent or taste. Anyway I'm trying to learn how to play the piano 🎹
When I was an introverted kid in 7th grade I listened to Simon & Garfunkel non-stop. This song intrigued me the most. I remember reading Lord of the Rings and
The Chronicles of Thomas Covenant series for the first time while listening to S&G. They are forever entwined in my mind.
MerkinMuffly me too! I was reading The Lord of The Rings and becoming involved in the anti war movement.
Susan R Jecker Me too! All the same stuff for me! Except for the part abt the movement... I was still a little too young to be anything but a wannabee activist. 🌼✌🇺🇸
MerkinMuffly and Susan R Jecker, I read LotR and The Unbeliever series around that age as well, and was active in the peace-making scene. Still am.
I hope life is well for you bro. You have a friend in me
I remember being their with you
I sang this to my small son, who died at 2. It calmed him
I am SO sorry. Life can be so cruel.
May your sweet boy rest in perfect peace
Om Mani Padme Hum ❤️🩹🌈🌺
So sorry for your loss. Prayers 🙏❤️🙏
❤ so sorry for your loss...
‘And fight for a cause they’ve long ago forgotten’
A line so true in many ways
One of those songs where you remember exactly where you were and what you were doing when you first heard it. It's almost traumatic to experience something so beautiful for the first time.
WKA DESIGNS that is sooo true, I actually listened it 1y ago and I remeber where, when, and all lmao
I was painting a house haha. I didn't even realize that I remembered exactly when I first heard it until I read this
This is by far one of the true classics. Art Garfunkel also stands out as a master of his art.
Laying in bed late at night with a true love of mine.
Many years ago, she's long gone from my life now.
She was like this song to me, getting straight to the depths of my soul, catching me entirely off-guard.
I was in music class learning music theory and the history of music.
before youtube...before MTV....before headphones were portable..my cassette player lulled me to sleep on many a air condition- free, humid , open window night... as the old oaks swayed to melody of my youth...
Mark Putzke beautifully said. Simpler times
And yet we had it great. I miss those days
This comment made me feel deeply sad, and nostalgic somehow for an era I've never known
holy shit dude.
You sir, are a poet.

Cheers for the lyrics our kid x
Thank you so much for posting the lyrics! My wife passed away almost a year ago and I'm devastatingly lonely. Have Metastasized Cancer but still alive. This song is given to me, along with other songs, by most of my ex girlfriends and my ex wife. I want someone new though. I'm doing it to myself. I know.
Scarborough Fair" is a traditional English folk song from the Middle Ages, referring to an old fair in Scarborough, Yorkshire. It is a market fair, comprising of traders, merchants and other vendors that started sometime in the 14th century until the 18th century.
This is a song that makes you stop doing whatever you're doing and just sit still and listen, letting yourself be completely drawn into the music and singing. That last stanza always stuns me, when they ask for the last time: "Are you going to Scarborough Fair".
calvin777100 So true I can't do anything else while listening
I was just thinking the same thing. I very rarely do nothing else while listening to music, but I just found myself lying still with my hands folded on my chest and my eyes closed the whole way through.
I've just uploaded a video on the history of Scarborough Fair which will answer many common questions and correct some misconceptions! The video includes over 30 traditional recordings of variants of the ballad, and discusses the actual origin of the famous melody.

I agree. Even all these years since they sang this song it still runs through my head. It's now 2022.
I listened to this as I carved a relatively simple flower in relief.
I love how they're harmony goes out of sync but is still harmonic. I love it when people do that. It eventually just goes back into sync.
+Haley Palmquist
That's the beauty of harmony, Haley, and you're absolutely right!
@Clara J Not canon in this case, just counterpoint. Canon is when both parts are the same and start at different times, therefore overlapping.

ruclips.net/video/adlHgFxdoFw/видео.html
when you say their "harmony goes out of sync" are you referring to syncopation?
syncopated time was an S&G trademark. they even mention the technique by name in "The Dangling Conversation":
like a poem poorly written / we are verses out of rhythm, couplets out of rhyme / in syncopated time
ruclips.net/video/dQHbQ0XgCRM/видео.html
Part of their art in this version is that the voices of the singers are totally intertwined. In the beginning only Garfunkel sings (double-tracked), then Simon joins in (probably also double-tracked) with the lower harmony. Then, for the war song (the 'Canticle') starting at the second stanza, they take turns, Simon singing the lower sections, Garfunkel the higher ones. We hear approx. three Paul Simons and three Art Garfunkels singing in this song. But as their performances are so accurate and their voices blend so beautifully, this is barely noticeable.

Thanks for checking in!
I was 18 back in Holland,i bought this on single and played time after time,now i,m 71 and still enyoying it,the most positiv is that my children even love this!
It's a very (very) old song from England. You should look up the history of the song it really is fascinating.
I just saw "the graduate" (D.Hofmann ) where the song is played, so i've read on Wiki that it was an old love and romantic english song of the middle age, very nice !
from France

Love these soft kind of songs. Almost feel like your in a field of flowers with cool breezes flowing through cooling off the early summer heat.
Me too. Always seems time to forget about all negative things when this plays
It’s actually a sad song about death and never returning home.
The song is from the perspective of a man who has died (or is dying) knowing he’ll never return home, he says to tell his love to complete impossible tasks for him to return, and in the end mentions Heather (a flower where none bloom white near corpses nor graves) parsley sage rosemary and thyme are herbs all associated with the deceased and sometimes burned for blessings. More so in old traditions burned for passing from life into death, and we’re also used during the plague to protect from the disease.
The song is quite dark and sad when you understand the context.
You will also enjoy Mushoku Tensei OSTs. They are all in Japanesse and sound so beautifful. Another one of my favorite soft song is "Tabi no Tochuu" Spice and wolf OP. Mystery of Love is also good.
Pure MAGIC! The ethereal melodic sublime sounds of this song transports me into an other-worldly dreamy state of consciousness that no other song ever has.

They wrote so many great songs but this one is timeless and magical.
The only wrongdoing was Simon not crediting Martin Carthy for many decades.
Their rendering is magical, but they didn’t compose it. It’s a traditional English ballad.
I love it
Scarborough Fair was written in England hundreds of years before Simon and Garfunkel were born.
@jamesrobert4106 Carthy didn't write this song. No one did, really. It's a traditional English folk ballad that's existed in various forms since the middle ages. It doesn't have a single author, and whoever developed the early versions of it are lost to time.
Between impeccable harmonizing, the harpsichord & layers
... it's hard to imagine this could've been more perfect.
Are you going to Scarborough Fair?
Parsley, sage, rosemary & thyme
Remember me to one who lives there
She once was a true love of mine
Tell her to make me a cambric shirt
(On the side of a hill in the deep forest green)
Parsely, sage, rosemary & thyme
(Tracing a sparrow on snow-crested ground)
Without no seams nor needlework
(Blankets and bedclothes a child of the mountains)
Then she'll be a true love of mine
(Sleeps unaware of the clarion call)
Tell her to find me an acre of land
(On the side of a hill, a sprinkling of leaves)
Parsely, sage, rosemary, & thyme
(Washed is the ground with so many tears)
Between the salt water and the sea strand
(A soldier cleans and polishes a gun)
Then she'll be a true love of mine
Tell her to reap it in a sickle of leather
(War bellows, blazing in scarlet battalions)
Parsely, sage, rosemary & thyme
(Generals order their soldiers to kill)
And to gather it all in a bunch of heather
(And to fight for a cause they've long ago forgotten)
Then she'll be a true love of mine

Mum used to sing me to sleep with this song, this song has a special place in my heart
My daughter's high school Chorus class won a Superior Music Award 04/2023 for performing this beautiful song at a Music Festival in South Carolina. It's an absolute Masterpiece, and to hear children performing this song with such dedication and passion in 2023 is just unbelievable. Gives you hope in a generation of music, that isn't worthy of even calling music.
Oh I bet a chorus version of this sounds like angels in a glass jar ❤❤❤
Wish I could hear their version of this great song!
It's an old English folk song and is over 800 years old.
I imagine hearing this at a Renaissance Fair.
And the parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme were herbs they buried the plague victims with in belief that it would ward off the plague.
Do also imagine suckin' all the meat off a mutton joint at that same fair?
This song seems to originate in or around 1670 or so. Not quite Renaissance, but not too far off! The words changed a lot though:
The elphin knight sits on yon hill,
Blaw, blaw, blaw, wind blaw.
He blaws his horn both lewd and shril.
The wind hath blown my plaid awa.

Closed my eyes, and chose a song to learn on guitar. I’ve never heard this song so I just made it fun by playing it randomly with the chords and lyrics I was given. I had no clue this song was so mystical and magical. I feel as though I am a fairy in a magical forest. Wow.

They brings me my deeper emotions. Looks like I was in NY with them while
them composed. I 've never been in US and never been with them but they
will be with me till the end. Thanks Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel.
Beautiful Song. Amazing Lyrics that bring so many memories to people all over the world.
These two were so esteemed musically in the 70s (and now), that I remember singing a medley including this tune in choir when I was in high school. My dear, departed dad loved this song.

Recorded in 1966, when I was only 13. I'm 70 now. It always reminded of me of my college years in the early 1970s. I had fond memories of first girlfriends, who had slipped away from me, as time moved on. Short, sweet love affairs, that faded into the the mist.
You're a lucky man. I only had one first girlfriend.
@@doctorbohr1585 Thanks. Thinking back to before that time,.....I had no girlfriends in high school. In college I pursued two gals, one at a time. The second one, was a more serious relationship, and more complicated, as time went on. I was blinded by my lust,....and ignored the signs, that basically we were from two different worlds. She grew up in a rural world, and myself a suburban world. Our differences is what first drew me to her. We were both artists, seeking our art degrees, we both worked in the same medium, Printmaking. I'm grateful we exchanged our art prints, back then. I cherish the prints she created and gave to me. 30 years after our relationship had dissolved, I learned she was killed in a car accident.
We are generation of love, death and it's never ending. Peace people. Life is to short for all of us.
Or too long, depending on your situation.
@@upturnedblousecollar5811 peace man. Perfect. I try to stay. Ever forever. Love waits .
To my mind, one of Simon & Garfunkel's most beautiful songs.
Simple -- two voices and a guitar, with no big production. Quiet and lovely accompaniment. Flawless.
and a harpsichord--don't forget the harpsichord!
and the BELLS
The harpsichord and the bells add to the ancient feel of Scarborough Fair. The Canticle sort of slips and slides around the main melody. Have any two men's voices ever blended together so well?

yea - crosby stills and nash . it's 3 guys but the point stands.
Jerry Cantrell and Layne Staley. Unreal vocal harmonies.
Paul McCartney and John Lennon
@@jadentrestrail5398 I was about to post that myself. Glad I didn't need to. Perfect harmonies.
This song always puts me in a time and space I barely can hold onto. I was too young, but the happiness I feel thru the filtered light of the white walls and shag carpet house that held the acrylic afternoons amongst sunlight glass and polyester pant suits of my grandmother’s home. There was a warmth like a safe soap opera on tv. No weariness. No worries. Just life in a snow globe free from the ravages of time. Memories and this song.
The harmonies of Simon and Garfunkel are excellent. This song really demonstrates their vocal skills.
the bittersweet memories of days past
I've just uploaded a video on the history of Scarborough Fair which will answer many common questions and correct some misconceptions! The video includes over 30 traditional recordings of variants of the ballad, and discusses the actual origin of the famous melody.

Honor them by buying their albums, i did it. Thanks folks, you guys are amazing!!!
i just heard an instrumental cover that brought goosebumps, so I had to come back and enjoy the original and get some more goosebumps... What a masterpiece of a song.
It's about thyme... what kept you?
The reason why it was the time. These guys made it magical, medieval, beautiful ❤️
So beautiful...makes me cry. Glad I lived during the musical and cultural renaissance.
no u dont
Me too and I've cried many times when listening to this beautiful song.
It takes me back to 1952, in the first house and neighborhood I remember living and the homelike mellowness of early childhood on a backstreet in Wallace, NC. So haunting, like mellow memories of the old house. I'm 73 now. Its so miniscule straits of marvelous!
Their songs touch something in my soul ... close and far away in same time
My older sister had this album in 1968. I'm transported back to that time and place, every time I hear this beautiful song.
I have sage, rosemary and thyme, but I still need to get some parsley.
Parsley is the best

Fresh is best. It's really good for you.
Such a lovely medieval song, really subtle and powerful at the same time. I do always drink my ginger tea with this on.
My favorite song by them. Thier harmonies are ethereal
a true- great classic from yesteryear, puts you in a hypnotic trance.
The most Beautiful music i have ever heard. i will be 50 soon. omg my friends showed me. port richmond rocks!!!
One of the greatest songs of all time. A perfect song from start to finish. And when you put the talent of Simon & Garfunkel behind it.. You have a iconic song. A song I often hit replay over and over. I believe I listened to this song 1 hour without stopping. Its that good.
I love that these herbs work together both symbolically, and in actuality. One of my favorite dishes is to combine Parsley, Sage Rosemary, and Thyme with mushrooms, rice, wild rice and peas.
Sometimes, when I am listening to this, I recall my loved ones who have passed and it makes me cry, but the music is so beautiful, it is not a bad thing.
Do not cry, or cry if you like, but remember all that made them close to you. Remember them as they lived, as they breathed, as they loved and laughed. Make them alive again from your heart!
Reminds me of the graduate so much! Simon and Garfunkel... never anyone like them and undoubtedly no one ever like them again. Harmonies are perfection and there is only one person to thank for that. Paul Simon we love you so very much! Thank you for everything, you truly are the most talented man to ever walk on this earth.

Their voices exist forever, beyond time and space.
Traditional English folk song, which was taught to Paul Simon (including the fabulous guitar accompaniment) by singer Martin Carthy when Paul was in England.
I live in Scarborough and this is always blasting out speakers at the BBQ
I bet that is such an awesome experience!!! I would love to be there listening to it! Hello from Arkansas, and I'll blast it at my next Barbeque!!!
The last time they sing "Thyme"; the harmonies make me burst out crying.

I sang this song at a competition with my chorus group and received gold. This song is hauntingly beautiful, I love it 💓
I still at school when this stunning version of the ancient English song was released. It was a massive hit and it has lost none over its charm
I don't care. They have the best harmony I have ever heard. Music today is absolutely nothing compared to these 2 men
