I hear the drizzle of the rain
Like a memory it falls
Soft and warm continuing
Tapping on my roof and walls

Picture it…Connecticut…1986
As newlyweds, this was one of a handful of songs my husband would sing me to sleep with when I had a bad headache. Sometimes I swear he’d sing an hour.
He died last month. Now it all
Qcomes flooding back.
😔
Happened upon this one and can’t understand why this is my first time hearing it. Love Paul Simon and my name is Kathy and this is my song.
I remember 1968, staying up late into the night learning to play this on my little Sears guitar for the Jr. High school talent show. Now 53 years later I'll play along the best my old fingers can, and savor those memories with a cup of pre-dawn tea. My all time favorite of yours. It's rhythmic beauty is timeless. Thank you.
I'm a huge fan of Paul but Arties voice just knocks my socks off.. the Concert in Central Park is just sublime..
@@Karmakatt6 Indeed! The voice of an angel.
It's the trying that makes it for us. I';m a few years older than you and did the exact same thing. Glad we were both alive to be part of this master's time.
why did this tear me up.
Because it's art in its purest form. Grabs you by the throat, puts you through the wringer, then sets you down again having injected you with mind-searing emotion.@@vikepfukrei1519
Paul's most beautiful and perfect song
The sign of a great song is when you imagine its just for you and no one else can hear it. Thanks Paul for writing and singing this just for me.
I think Paul's early songs were in many ways his best, the haunting incisiveness of the lyrics, the sincerity of his singing and the atmospheric acoustic guitar work. As most people know, this song was inspired by his English girlfriend of his time spent touring England in the mid-60's and is one of my favourite Paul Simon songs. Sadly, Kathy Chitty passed away a few years ago but she is immortalised in this beautiful and moving example of Paul's incomparable genius.
Beautiful post.
Plus she's on the cover.
genius indeed
This is what the inside of a human heart feels like.
Always loved Kathy’s Song.
56 years later, I still remember every word of this song by heart.
This song is a masterpiece, one of my favourites by Paul! Can give you hope with its love and incredibly strong sense of affection or tear you apart with its sadness and longing. Approach with caution if you're missing someone! :..)
One of Paul Simon’s most beautiful songs.
One of the greatest, if not THE greatest love song ever written/played, by anyone, EVER, PERIOD!!
The only truth I know is you. Gets me every time.😢
Yup! 😢
No love song, absolutely NO love song moves my heart as much as this one! ...
The melody, the feeling in the voice, the guitar which sounds like rain drops and the lyrics are simply magical! ...
"So, you see I have come to doubt, all that I once held as true. I stand alone without believes, the only truth I know is you."
Those particular words I think are my favourite lyrics ever written...
THe first time I heard this precious song was in Stockholm 2004, when I heard it live. That song really helped me, since I was going through a lot of emotional healing at the time.
Thank you, Paul Simon for a musical pearl!!
Warmth from Nenne in Sweden
YES! It is that line in particular which sets this song above all else as the ultimate expression of love, whether requited or unrequited. 😉
“There but for the grace of you go I.” The line that told me it was right to propose to M.
He is in the top 10 of songwriters in the second half of the 20th Century, never mind a Category, in my case, his Melodie’s are beautiful and his lyrics pure poetry, thanks for all these years of laughter and tears that your song has brought off to millions of people.
I don’t know what it is but I can’t listen to this song ever without tearing up
Same here.
I'm spanish and in this version Paul vocalizes very clearly. I'm delighted
Thankyou Mr Simon.....for everything.xdean.
Beautiful............... absolutely beautiful. A tribute to those loved.
I’ve come to realize what’s missing in today’s music:
substance, depth.
You've put your finger right on it, Suzanne. I've been immersed in contemporary music for the last 64 years and watched with dismay as the quality and originality has gradually deteriorated and we're now left with a desert of mediocrity (with the very occasional small oasis, if you know where to look.) I was lucky enough to see Simon and Garfunkel in concert at the Free Trade Hall in Manchester (UK) in April 1968 and their performance was sheer unmitigated magic. I know it's an old cliche, but we'll never see their like again. Luckily, we can still enjoy the albums - both as a duo and Paul's solo work - and I never tire of listening to them all these years later.
The most beautiful song ever. The sincerity pours from each word. I have loved this from the first time I heard it. Still sooths my soul decades later.
I wish I could tell Paul how much his music has made my life better. Tried to send him fan mail. It was returned. I wish I could send him some bottled happiness. He deserves it. He has made the world a better place through his music. Thanks.
YES.
My life has been affected by this man's music. Since I was 8 or 9, and he was a big fan of my father!
The first song on the first Simon & Garfunkle album ( Wed Morning) is one of my Dad's songs.
And yes, my Dad's music has been part of my life.
But nowhere as much as Paul Simon. I would love to talk to him. His songs are so intimate, or deep, or vulnerable, or prayerful, or playful. He has been a great friend to me through his music.
No one is more diverse! Joan Armatrading comes close....
Love you Paul!
For so many years. And through lots tears.
Shalom & Namaste
@@amandalynngibson8332 Garfunkel is your father?
@@mrball3417 NO.
Bob Gibson.
@@amandalynngibson8332 Oh nice
I understand your feelings completely and have at times in my younger years felt the same longing to tell him.
But then I thought of how deep his music is…how he is an INFP and 4 w 5…and realized, he already knows.
He knows more than we could ever tell him with our words, what his music means to us. We can rest easy knowing he understands before we speak, all we wish we could express to him.
If I really could say "I have a favourite song", this would be the one I would pick. After "Sound of Silence". Which would be my second pick after "Bridge over troubled water". Oh, who cares? They are all brilliant.
Those opening chords so familiar so comforting
This song reminds me of my Tracy. I miss her so much. I wish I could go back in time and never let her go. Jealousy destroyed me and now I'm alone.
Beautiful.
Beautiful beautiful
This is just about the most perfect love song ever! I remember hearing it way back in 67 or 68 but not really focusing on it till now all these years later. I was too young to appreciate it though I loved their album Bookends especially the song America which is also about a girl named Kathy. It was my favorite S&G tune until this one.
Lovely version, the best perhaps?
The song that made me decide to learn the guitar and try to write songs.
I fell in love with & was enthralled with S&G music from the very first time I heard a song by them being sung by a senior in college in the late 60s. In Delhi. It was - The Dangling Conversation..
Getting records in India was so difficult, those days, as almost nothing they produced had reached or caught our youth generation here in India.. then. Then they caught on like wildfire..
But EMI brought out their The Sounds Of Silence album, that I saved up for & bought. Then came across one of their first albums ever - Wednesday Morning at 3 am... written mostly During their England sojourn, period..Kathy being the name of the girl Paul was very much in love with, in London . Found It either in the University Ford Foundation library, or the USIS in Delhi.
Bookends followed, since we were a close knit group of S&G lovers, who shared music - taught each other & learned to pick, finger plucking style, the guitar, played in the folk style that performers & singers used to play in the 60s & 70s. Esp Paul Simon's ... versions
The movie The Graduate that came to cinemas then, had so many of their then current hits.. played beautifully, April, etc etc Followed BY their album we then got from the UK, Parsley Sage Rosemary & Thyme, played with intermittent lines interspersed with Canticle, an old English traditional song, that blended beautifully with PSR & Thyme.
Then all their other music before & after they broke up..& reunited for... the Concert in the Park..
A magical growing up era.. that blended so beautifully with our Own growing up & our own formative young adult years.. and the issues we faced as young people growing up. Love, loneliness, friendship, separation, broken hearts, alienation etc etc
Their music & songs were so poignant, sensitive & captured that era so beautifully..
As Someone sensitive once remarked /observed / wrote, a music critic or some observant soul - that their / Paul's early music albums, compositions - ESP before they went electronic, like Bob Dylan & others..- their early music was like church, choral music, in its tones, composition, 2 part harmonies and chordal progressions & themes.
Deeply affected & inspired by them. And as one brought up in similar choirs, singing choral music in 4 part harmony, I concurred with that keen observation..
ESP the early S&G. They were blessed with Talent richly..

Thank you so much for this evocative version,
I remember still the words of all their songs..after all these years..❗
Thank you.

I have said this elsewhere but I'll say it again. The three greatest poets of the 1960s are Bob Dylan, Leonard Cohen, and Paul Simon.
I couldn't agree more, Jerome - I've been saying the same thing for half a century! Have you noticed the common thread - all North American, all Jewish, all of quite restricted height and all bearing surnames comprising five letters!
@@ianthomas5955- Of course, Dylan's real name is Zimmerman but no matter. I never knew Paul Simon was Jewish but that is no matter, either. I love all three of them.
Yes, of course, I know Dylan's real name is Robert Allen Zimmerman - this was just a whimsical observation on my part! @@jerometaperman7102
Look to our Lord, not any human
God gives us our people because he cannot be here.
Always loved this song .. ♬‧*˚✧♬‧*˚✧ .. One of my S&G favourites. Fabulous picking.
Pięknie Paul😊
Paul is one of the best guitar player in the world. His talent is so underestimate.
an eternally beautiful song ...
I hear the drizzle on the way
Like a memory it falls
Soft and warm continuing
Tapping on my roof and walls
And from the shelter of my mind
Through the window of my eyes
I gaze beyond the rain-drenched streets
To England where my heart lies
My mind's distracted and confused
My thoughts are many miles away
They lie with you in your sleep
And kiss you when you start your day
And this song I was writing is left undone
I don't know why I spend my time
Writing songs I can't believe
With words that tear and strain to rhyme
And so you see I have come to doubt
All that I once held as true
I stand alone without beliefs
The only truth I know is you
And as I watch the drops of rain
Weave their weary paths and die
I know that I am like the rain
There but for the grace of you go I
Just heard a bit of this played and sung by someone else in the movie Maid in Manhattan. I recognized it right away as an old song I loved checked the credits for the name. Of course it is this one. I always loved this since it came out.
Sounds good, thank you for the video.
lovely
magnifique chanson et magnifique chanteur
I've known this song with the version made by Eva Cassidy. It's so beautiful and sad.
paul didnt stand a chance against the musical muse. he's but a nonresistive channel of creativity and consciousness.
El día que escuché su disco greates Song de 1972 fue suficiente para enamorarme de la música de la época de toda la poesía que allí nacía letra a letra
The only truth I know is YOU
Fact
🎶❤️🎵
Gorgeous song. Is the girl in the picture the "real" Kathy?
Yes she is. She was pictured in a newspaper a few years ago, in the north of England.
First Time
Music 🎶 to My ear
I love All song

But when you hear about music for you first Time

オリジナルのスリーフィンガー奏法ですね。年代によって弾き方も変わって来ていて、現在と聴き比べてみてください。僕もそういう風に弾いて今います。YellowSimon
Believe in Jesus, his forgiveness His love is for eternity! John 3:16
Keep Jesus out of here
Simon and Garfunkel exist.
I wonder if she is still alive?
Yes. She left Paul Simon because she couldn't live with the pressure his new found fame bought them. She lives quietly in Wales now.
Died 5ish years ago.
