  • The Boxer by Simon & Garfunkel is a timeless classic in my opinion and here I am with my sister, Jane Hawkins, performing it live at the Boathouse on June 10, 2016. Always a pleasure singing with her!

    In the clearing stands a boxer
    And a fighter by his trade,
    And he carries the reminders
    Of every glove that laid him down
    Or cut him till he cried out,
    In his anger and his shame.
    I am leaving, I am leaving,
    But the fighter still remains....
    Wow. Just wow. Best cover of this song ever heard.

    Very impressive guys. This is my favorite song of all time and a masterpiece from Paul Simon. You guys capture the essence of the song by keeping it simple and humble. This cover is quite incredible. Bravo.

    This was a fantastic and beautiful rendition of a beloved classic song. You both did this song proud and you have such wonderful harmonic voices! As a beginner acoustic guitarist, I was mesmerised by the perfection of Jasper playing the guitar rhythms and his fingerpicking skills and hope to achieve that level of skill someday, myself. Bravo to you both!

    This is one of the best cover versions I've ever heard. I know it's hard to compare them with Simon and Garfunkel, but the way they are singing this song makes me think that this is nearly as good as the original song. Well done!

      @@jasperandjanehawkins From what i can see it looks like you are doing what is known as fingerpicking style guitar where you form your chords with one hand and you pluck each string of your guitar individually on its own with your fingers with the other hand to do a bit like arpegios that kind of thing, which really suits this song and has been done very well by you ! well done Jasper ! :)

      Might be a bit late, but "Shutup & Play" has a great walk through for the finger picking, which includes all the little embellishments, hammer downs, riffs & pull-offs.

    Whatever version of this soulful song, I do declare, resonates with me:to wit,the railway station scene be a replication of scenes at the local station (Kikuyu,Kenya).Here one would meet, though not quite mingle with, total strangers, seeking refuge from a hostile world of the better off.Solace,succor even sometimes would be found, fleeting though it be...
