    “Half of the time we’re gone but we don’t know where, we don’t know where...” Bring tears to my eyes.

      Apparently in an early draft of the lyrics, the line went 'Half of my life has gone, but I don't know where'...thought that was a great line too as I often wonder that when I wake up in the morning, though unless I'm going to shatter the world record for the longest living human, I'm pretty sure that more than half of my life has gone! Maybe PS thought he was tempting fate using that line in his 20s. Still like it though!!

    I used to listen to this song, The Boxer, . . . constantly filled with emotion (in sound proof booth) at the public library in
    Charlotte, NC (1984) filled with emotion . . . . Now, in 2021, I am doing the very same
    thing in a public library (via internet) in Amsterdam with lots of emotion, too . . . . . . .

    I like how the bass player respects Joe Osborn's legendary bassline to this, using the same themes and riffs even though some parts have a different layout and phrasing from the original. That's true musicianship.

    "this song is for arty" :') I know they've had their artistic differences over the years, but the fact that sentiment of old friends still stands, really makes me happy. Great performance

      [ For you &or anyone who didn't or doesn't know: ]
      The song was *literally* for Art, in that the lyrics are about how Paul felt when he took some time off to vacation in Mexico. He felt alone, like the only, well… listen closely (again).

      And it's extra special if you know that this was written by Paul *about Art* , or rather about how he felt about Art taking time out to vacation in Mexico. (Leaving Paul feeling like he was, well…)

    For my money, this is the best song on the Bridge album (all due respect to the title track). I had been listening to this song/album since college in the Eighties, but my mind was completely blown by the moment in the movie Garden State when this song suddenly and unexpectedly came in, over 12 speakers or whatever it was, at the excessively high volume that movie theater sound always is. Best moment in cinema, for me - admittedly massively biased as a longtime Simon fanboy. Oh yeah, and this here version ain’t bad either!
