How benjamin is able to sing so softly and yet so high, all the more consistently all throughout his range just stuns me. When I grow up I want to be Benjamin
That’s kinda what makes Art Garfunkel such a profound singer. He’s got such feel and such a wispy, gentle voice, but over a huge range. These guys are fantastic, but that Benjamin Cooley is really channeling something awesome.
Me too! (but I'm a 70 year old woman, so that's one of many things I apparently am not going to do when I grow up.) Can you imagine being able to sing like that?!
@@rooples.pooples he toured around as Garfunkel in a Simon & Garfunkel tribute show. He's got these songs down. You should hear him do So Long Frank Lloyd Wright on Josh Turner Guitar channel, it's beautiful.
As a big Simon & Garfunkel fan, let me say... these two guys just blew me away. Standing ovation. Wow. I hope someone shows Paul and Art this video. I think they'd be hugely impressed. If these two guys ever do a S&G tribute tour, I'll be in the audience. Bravo, guys.
There are a group of you who give me hope for the youth of today. I am 62 years old and I can see that you all appreciate the beauty in these classics by the singer-songwriters of the past. Thank you to each and every one of you. I am in awe of your talent.
This had me absolutely floored. My jaw is on the ground. This is easily the best rendition of this song I’ve ever heard. The vocals are so freaking clean, with the balance and the harmony being just incredible. And then the restraint you guys show in service of both the melody and the lyrics takes this whole thing into the stratosphere. This is the fastest I’ve ever subscribed to anyone.
Well if you stumbled upon this by accident you’d be having a better day for seeing it. Instant smile appeal, well done lads, beautifully done, I smiled all the way through.
I’ve never heard that version before, it’s great. This song reminds me of my life as I was kicked out of home and lived on the street for awhile. Everything in that song happened to me over 60 years including the ice bleeding me. I use to play this album all the time in 1968 or 69. Good job
Bravo et merci de nous offrir cette magnifique interprétation. The Boxer est un chef d'œuvre amer et poignant que j'écoute depuis ma jeunesse. Je suis française et j'ai presque 70 ans.
Gentle, beautiful and eloquent. The day will come, when you both will look back on this performance and reflect on an unprecedented time that has changed us all in ways yet untold. Please--do more with Ben. Your talents mesh so well. Thank you.
Dear Mother of God - this is absolutely BEAUTIFUL...., I grew up on Simon and Garfunkel so I am a prude when it comes to their music being covered - these guys NAILED IT.
I am just a poor boy Though my story's seldom told I have squandered my resistance For a pocketful of mumbles Such are promises All lies and jest Still, a man hears what he wants to hear And disregards the rest When I left my home and my family I was no more than a boy In the company of strangers In the quiet of the railway station Running scared Laying low, seeking out the poorer quarters Where the ragged people go Looking for the places only they would know Lie la lie, lie la lie la lie la lie Lie la lie, lie la lie la lie la lie, la la lie la lie Asking only workman's wages I come looking for a job But I get no offers Just a come-on from the whores on Seventh Avenue I do declare, there were times when I was so lonesome I took some comfort there La-la-la-la-la-la-la Now the years are rolling by me They are rocking evenly And I am older than I once was And younger than I'll be But that's not unusual No, it isn't strange After changes upon changes We are more or less the same After changes we are More or less the same Lie la lie, lie la lie la lie la lie Lie la lie, lie la lie la lie la lie, la la lie la lie Lie la lie, lie la lie la lie la lie Lie la lie, lie la lie la lie la lie, la la lie la lie Then I'm laying out my winter clothes Wishing I was gone Going home Where the New York City winters aren't bleeding me Leading me To going home In the clearing stands a boxer And a fighter by his trade And he carries the reminders Of every glove that laid him down And cut him till he cried out In his anger and his shame "I am leaving, I am leaving" But the fighter still remains, he's still remains Lie la lie, lie la lie la lie la lie Lie la lie, lie la lie la lie la lie, la la lie la lie Lie la lie, lie la lie la lie la lie Lie la lie, lie la lie la lie la lie, la la lie la lie
Thank you fellas. This is still after all these years a very important song and you both bring artistry, talent, and precision to the vocals and the guitar.
What?! It’s a bed time fun song for them! Some people try all their lives and can’t get it right and they do it so efortlesslly… kudos to you guys! So humbled by your presence. ❤
fun fact. the way they got that sound was by putting a snare drum at the bottom of an elevator shaft and put the microphone at the top of the shaft and added extra reverb.
"The song has only one drumbeat, and played during the 'lie-la-lie' refrain. The session drummer Hal Blaine created the heavily reverberated drum sound with the help of producer Roy Halee, who found a spot for the drums *in front of an elevator* in the Columbia offices. The recording of the drum was recorded as the song was being played live by the musicians. Blaine would pound the drums at the end of the "Lie la lie" vocals that were playing in his headphones, and at one point, an elderly security guard got a big surprise when he came out of the elevator and was startled by Blaine's thunderous drums. Hal Blaine recounted the recording process, "There we were with all these mic cables, my drums, and a set of headphones," says Blaine. "When the chorus came around - the 'lie-la-lie' bit - Roy had me come down on my snare drum as hard as I could. In that hallway, right next to this open elevator shaft, it sounded like a cannon shot! Which was just the kind of sound we were after." " So there was an elevator involved but it was the corridor, as I remembered haha
Absolutely beautiful rendition, an I've been playing and listening to them for over 50 years now, very good guitar playing And coming in at the Right time with those harmonies, WOW, what a pleasure to listen to you both. 😢😮😊
discovered on josh turner's youtube channel, i appreciate your covers and your style, bravo for the emotion you offer and the sincerity of your approach. a big thank you from France.
"It's another Sunday":) and another awesome performance! When the world gets back to some sense of normalcy and your career soars to superstardom I hope that you will continue to entertain us here each Sunday. Bravo guys!
flawless. effortless vocals, precise harmony, and love the inclusion of the extra versa. I grew up in the 60s and you guys nailed it and brought it all back to me.
Wow! I'm 46 years old french and I discovered this song only few days ago with this cover (and I listened another video of simon & garfunkel since to heard the original). I don't know if it's a classic in US, but It's not so known in France (or maybe it's just me). What a beautiful song, and a beautiful cover!

BOYS!! This is the content I've been waiting for. Miss you both
Yoooo thank you man :)
Thanks Josh for putting me on to this channel. I often replay Sloop John B. Subbed
Love this! Thanks to you Josh. My all time favourite.
Thank Josh, hugs from Brazil
The three of you should get together.
cried when they sang the part, "after changes, we are more or less the same".
Hello Mary, how are you doing?
I got misty there too.
a guy in his 40s, that line really hits deep, and hard...and not to be taken out of context.
These two young men just casually sit there and work through one of the iconic songs of the 20th Century. Finestkind!
it's great that kids of this generation had the opportunity to hear and appreciate this kind of music
How benjamin is able to sing so softly and yet so high, all the more consistently all throughout his range just stuns me. When I grow up I want to be Benjamin
That's why it sounds so magical.

It's reassuring to know there are young people out there who appreciate music. Gives me a glimmer of hope. Thanks guy.
loved the inclusion of the "secret" verse that was left off the recording

Amen !
Agree, Jeff. Gives me hope!
51 here and agree with every word you said...
Isn't it great?! I'm 68 and am thrilled to see this too.
Love how Benjamin is basically like if Mark Zuckerberg and Art Garfunkel had a son together
Too funny! But what an amazing talent! Love these guys!
Haha
Wow. Good call.
Hahahahahahaha!!! 😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆
God forbid!
But you made me laugh too well
One of the best covers of this song I’ve ever heard. Stunning.

very clean indeed
definitely not better than the original, but very nice
Their harmonies compliment each other every bit as much as the original
You guys are excellent. Keep it up.
IT’S NOWHERE NEAR S AND G, AND THE HARMONY IS A BIT SHARP.
I've been a HUGE S&G fan since about 1967 and am blown away by this version. Stunning.
Well if you stumbled upon this by accident you’d be having a better day for seeing it. Instant smile appeal, well done lads, beautifully done, I smiled all the way through.
As luck would have it, I stumbled across this on my way to work.
I will now have a better day. 🤙
Can confirm this
@@paesan0460 is
RUclips algorithm did a good job today. This is amazing, great job!
I could sit here and listen to these two sing like this all day. So soothing and relaxing. That air tight harmony just gets me!
Best cover both instrumentally and vocally I've ever heard and I've been listening to that song since the '60s. Great job guys!
Absolutely agree with you. What a great cover both technically and harmoniously
That’s right I think the same is incredible their synchrony voice and guitars its just beatifull
😲👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
I taught the song was releases on the 70's
ruclips.net/video/SSvhWM9s5SE/видео.html
One of my favorites from my youth. Beautiful rendition. Thank you!
Way better than i was expecting, the guitar is just as perfect as the voices, God bless you boys.
Keep it true this way!
Modern songs just don't cut it like these oldies. Thanks for this.
I agree!
Just stumbled upon this and I'm totally amazed. Included the rare middle verse too. Great vocal harmony and beautifully played. Spot on. 👍
Lovely....I am 5:01 looping this, repe
MAGNIFICENT, and with an extra thumbs up for including the "missing" verse
I accidently came across this today. This is one of the most amazing versions of one of my all time favorite songs. AWESOME!!!!!!
Us baritones are punching the air at those pure tenor lines 🤣
The real boxer lol😂
I enjoy you guys just as much as Simon and Garfunkel, which is a lot.
I’ve never heard that version before, it’s great. This song reminds me of my life as I was kicked out of home and lived on the street for awhile. Everything in that song happened to me over 60 years including the ice bleeding me. I use to play this album all the time in 1968 or 69. Good job

Damn gentlemen, this is sweet. The best part for me is the blending of your harmonies. Perfect balance.
I got shivers.
The sorrow in the last verse went straight to my heart.
Good job, lads.
BRAVO! Very nice harmony just like S&G. Thank you
Absolutely beautiful beyond words. Thank you so much for the performance! Please think about perform this piece of great music in public.
everytime I play this song, nobody notices that I sing the extra lyrics
well done guys
poor you
Have heard this song hundreds of time and have never heard that extra lyrics. Even saw them in concert and they didn't sing it.
H
Someone snuck it in.
I noticed..my ma lived these guys and played her heart out on guitar!Rip momma
Beautiful..my momma played guitar n loved this song.Greatful for her teaching me guitar
Rest well...sad loss of talent.Keep livng your music mom!💘
That extra verse that was cut from the record is actually my favorite line, shame they left it out
een goede samenzang geweldig hoor.
Great music isn’t meant for just one generation. A you guys prove that.
Perfection! btw Love your van! Peace.
Gentle, beautiful and eloquent. The day will come, when you both will look back on this performance and reflect on an unprecedented time that has changed us all in ways yet untold. Please--do more with Ben. Your talents mesh so well. Thank you.
Simply scintilating!!
That was excellent. The best harmonised version ever. Truly terrific.
What this world would be without music and those that bring it to us. Thank you for bringing us the music, boys.❤
I closed my eyes to enjoy the harmony vocal of these two youngsters. Really touching!
Dear Mother of God - this is absolutely BEAUTIFUL...., I grew up on Simon and Garfunkel so I am a prude when it comes to their music being covered - these guys NAILED IT.
Wow, I stumbled on this by chance. Mesmerising, lovely singing, harmonies and guitar. Great performance.
Ragazzi, mi avete regalato una grande emozione e gli occhi ora sono lucidi e pieni di nostalgia.
😘 da Verona - Italia
I hope you don’t get tired of my comments but you ROCKED IT again! Both of you.
Good cover guys. Love this song... probably the best song ever written by Mr. Simon.
Best vocal cover I've heard of this song.
Thank you so much this France, very beautiful 💚🇫🇷
They are amazing!
The lyrics, which are perfect, are perfectly understood with your gorgeous blend of voices and guitar! What I love about Sunday!
Still the best cover on RUclips.
Makes me want to see both of you in concert in S&G show! I love Taylor’s new album!!!
Rejuvenated Simon and Garfunkel! Best cover ever!
Tears were rolling down my face. Absolutely beautiful, guys.
I sure would like to see Paul Simon,s reaction , to hearing this .🎶🎸🌟
I am insulted it took three months before I seen this, my friends thank you!
You guys rule. Every time I watch this, I'm taken back to my childhood. Well played.
I am just a poor boy
Though my story's seldom told
I have squandered my resistance
For a pocketful of mumbles
Such are promises
All lies and jest
Still, a man hears what he wants to hear
And disregards the rest
When I left my home and my family
I was no more than a boy
In the company of strangers
In the quiet of the railway station
Running scared
Laying low, seeking out the poorer quarters
Where the ragged people go
Looking for the places only they would know
Lie la lie, lie la lie la lie la lie
Lie la lie, lie la lie la lie la lie, la la lie la lie
Asking only workman's wages
I come looking for a job
But I get no offers
Just a come-on from the whores on Seventh Avenue
I do declare, there were times when I was so lonesome
I took some comfort there
La-la-la-la-la-la-la
Now the years are rolling by me
They are rocking evenly
And I am older than I once was
And younger than I'll be
But that's not unusual
No, it isn't strange
After changes upon changes
We are more or less the same
After changes we are
More or less the same
Lie la lie, lie la lie la lie la lie
Lie la lie, lie la lie la lie la lie, la la lie la lie
Lie la lie, lie la lie la lie la lie
Lie la lie, lie la lie la lie la lie, la la lie la lie
Then I'm laying out my winter clothes
Wishing I was gone
Going home
Where the New York City winters aren't bleeding me
Leading me
To going home
In the clearing stands a boxer
And a fighter by his trade
And he carries the reminders
Of every glove that laid him down
And cut him till he cried out
In his anger and his shame
"I am leaving, I am leaving"
But the fighter still remains, he's still remains
Lie la lie, lie la lie la lie la lie
Lie la lie, lie la lie la lie la lie, la la lie la lie
Lie la lie, lie la lie la lie la lie
Lie la lie, lie la lie la lie la lie, la la lie la lie
Thx for lyrics i would directly sing :)
This brings tears to my eyes!
My goosebumps have goosebumps
Lol yes.
Terrific moving moment. Thanks guys.
Vocal perfection!! (and nailed the guitar too)
Beautiful! perfect! I listen over and over.❤
And they even included the 'lost' verse!!
Id never heard that verse before
You need to tour as Bloom and Cooley (A Simon and Garfunkel tribute act. I could book you all over Florida!
Thank you fellas. This is still after all these years a very important song and you both bring artistry, talent, and precision to the vocals and the guitar.
damn guys that was great. You guys are the people who could change the world
Absolutely amazing gentlemen !! Best rendition of that song I have ever heard….. You two are truly gifted. You just made my day !
What?! It’s a bed time fun song for them! Some people try all their lives and can’t get it right and they do it so efortlesslly… kudos to you guys! So humbled by your presence. ❤
Did not expect this. Amazing!
Perfect. No mistake. Beautiful. Respect.
Josh me trouxe aqui! Cheers from Brazil!
Jesus…That was good on the ole ears.
Wish I could make my guitar do that 🙃
Just a beautiful cover of an iconic song.
Loved it !
That was beautiful boys 🙏
Effortless. Well done. But who else filled in the "cannon" sound starting at 1:34? :)
fun fact. the way they got that sound was by putting a snare drum at the bottom of an elevator shaft and put the microphone at the top of the shaft and added extra reverb.
@@3people100 This sounds wrong... I'm pretty sure it was a corridor in the studio building (and extra reverb of course).

Hello ann, how are you?
Already after few seconds - goosebumps
Great
Wonderful performance, you two sounds so amazing together! Sent to my mom who introduced me to Simon and Garfunkel
Wow! I'm 46 years old french and I discovered this song only few days ago with this cover (and I listened another video of simon & garfunkel since to heard the original).

What an amazing way to start 2021. Absolutely amazing cover. Earned yourself another subscriber. 👍🏻
This song is so heartful to me. i play it well wd my buddy. This is d song i made open a folkbar in college days.
Love it. One of my favorite songs. Great guitar playing just adds to the overall outstanding vocals.
Wow,wonderful!
I don't know who you guys are, but the quality of the playing and singing is incredible!
Wow. Beautiful.
This is absolutely brilliant!!! Thank you so much for this amazing cover.. Just like Josh said... Like you wrote the damn thing!!!
The secret to singing this song is the 'breathiness' - its like soft hands in football. Genius!
Thank you, that was just a perfect performance of a classic song. Beautiful vocals and great guitar playing. Thank you so much.
