- 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!
This has to one of the best versions of the song.
Agree!
How wonderful ! Incomparable delicacy and sensitivity. Thanks for sharing and a warm hug from Brazil.
Obrigado Mauricio!!
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.
Thanks Vee
The best cover of "The Boxer" I've heard.
Success for you both.
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.
幾つになってもこの曲が世界で1番好き
One of the best cover versions I have seen. Great, well done!
I love the great dexterity on the guitar and attention to detail that present in the original song. You guys are phenomenal!
Hi Luka, thanks for the props! Hope you are well.
This is one of the best versions I've heard of for a duet of The Boxer. That guitar playing ~ is powerful. Way to go, guys.
Wow! I love this. Your playing is magnificent and both of you have wonderful voices and harmonies. Fantastic! I’ve listened to this many times and love it each time.
Thanks!!
Tight picking, great harmonies, loved it!
LOVE your sisters harmony, oh my goodness!
Loving the upbeat tempo ... Thanks #JasperHawkins ... loving the #BrotherAndSister tandem ... #SimonAndGarfunkel ... #TheBoxer ...
Thanks Liber!
Great version ever I heard.....powerful and attractive voice....
What a magic and perfect version of an legend song of a legend. All the best wishes for all your hugh talent. It is so difficult find people singing truth songs in this era of garbage (they kill the real music everyday). So glad of you! Best wishes! From just a poor boy from Brazil living in Canada :)
Thanks Everaldo, so pleased you enjoyed it :)
That was bloody lovely!
absolutely Stunning Guys, loved every second of it. Well Done :)
When I was waiting for the sound of an harmonica... a wonderful new verse that gave me goose pimples. Congratulations!
goose bumps...great harmonies and playing...nice also hearing the "lost" verse
i have listened to every cover on the internet for this song. And this is unequivocally the best. If I was Simon or Garfunkel, I'd have to come visit you at your houses and give you a big high 5
You guys are Amazing! How do you not have 50,000+ subscribers? Got to Fix that! Keep on keep'n on!
Cheer Paul! We better work on that ;)
very nice 🙂! Lovely that you included a verse seldom sung.
Beautiful, great duo.
Very good voices and harmony
Wow amazing harmony! Applause!
I bet Simon and Garfunkel would have loved to hear this one! Just lovely!
paulodoming They’re both still alive.
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!
Konstantin Weyer thanks 🙏🏻
I have always loved this song, but I must agree, in my opinion, you and your sister perform it better than Simon & Garrfunkel.
This is as authentic as it gets!!! Wow!!!
great stuff Jasper and Jane !!!!! good job ! sounding good ! :)
Thanks Ryan!
@@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 ! :)
This is a great cover. I wish I could get the finger picking style figured out. Your vocals and harmonies are great. Excellent job.
Thanks Patsy!
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.
Great job!!
Wow. It's a great performance. Your duet is perfect and I immediately pressed the red button. Cheers! JJ from Korea
JJ ukulele cheers JJ!
Very very good cover Jane and Jasper. Thank you so much.

The best cover and harmony I’ve ever heard. I wish I could sing like yours. Thank you !

PICKING...OUTSTANDING!!!!!
Cheers Donald!
とってもとっても良いね
wonderful version. Keep it up and wish you every success
Thank you :)
Absolutely beautiful guys!
Thanks Darren!
this is sooooo beautiful!
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...
Classico.Imortal.Atravessou varias gerações e vai continuar.Belissima interpretaçåo.
Obrigada Afonso

Hello Jasper and Jane!
Without your RUclips -video I would think you are from the sixties! You have caught the spirit of the era to your performance, really.
I will even thank you in my mother tongue:

It may just be bc I'm on my period but when she started harmonizing I burst into tears. Being a girl is crazy.
Absolutely great, just great. IMO, the best cover on You Tube.

The best version of "The Boxer" I've heard. I prefer this to the original. Great vocal harmony and the accoustic guitar backing was superb. It's a pity it's not in stereo.

Thanks Kialala!
Great cover!

Like the true feeling of the song, as well as the tight harmony singing. Not one of those "church-like" versions that are often heard when doing harmonies
