It was the early 70's when Simon and Garfunkel into our lives. Our country was at war in VietNam, the government was taking our boyfriends, our brothers, our uncles, and they were dying over there by the thousands weekly. Simon and Garfunkel were our "safe place" to go at night into our bedrooms and get away from the news of the War. We are the BABY BOOM generation. You are in for a long and pleasant treat hearing the music that we were raised on....enjoy
This is the song that Paul Simon was asked to sing on SNL after 9-11. Standing behind him were nothing but NYC First Responders. I cried like a baby. So powerful!❤❤❤
This particular song is proof that you don't need to scream & shout and belt it out to make good music and a good song. And singers at the time knew how to make music without having to strain their vocal chords.
For me... this remains one of the greatest songs ever made... even after hearing it a thousand times since it first came out in 1968. The music has layers of brilliance. The vocal harmonies are magical. And the lyrics are some of the best ever written.
They transcended, transcend the genre, genre generally. They moved from folk musicians to musicians, period. Their music is elemental to it’s time but seems to have also become timeless. Among the greats of their, our time.
This is one rabbit hole that I know you will love. These two were one the best duos in any genre of music. Their songs are timeless. Their so many songs to choose from to do next. Cecilia Bridge Over Troubled Water Mrs Robinson Scarborough Fair I Am a Rock Homeward Bound The 59th Street Bridge Song and America will all be great next steps. I love the new backlighting, Craig.😊
This duo produced some of the best harmonies and most iconic songs ever, across any genre. They will always be one of my favorite groups. Paul Simon’s writing isn’t just music, it can honestly be considered poetry. Thanks for sharing this one. It’s been awhile since I heard it. Great reaction as always!
I grew up listening to Simon & Garfunkel & had a lot of their records. Absolutely loved them & their harmonies. You won't find a bad song. They have had so many hits such as "Sound Of Silence", "Bridge Over Troubled Water", "Mrs. Robinson", "The 59th Street Bridge Song", "Homeward Bound", "Kathy's Song", "Scarborough Fair", "At The Zoo", "Cecilia", "America", "I Am A Rock", "El Condor Pasa" etc. Paul Simon went on to have a huge solo career with lots of great songs.
I love "At the Zoo"! They used that for a Bronx Zoo commercial back in the 70s/80s maybe - - some time way back. I didn't even know it was their song until years later. I don't think anyone has reacted to that.
This duo recorded some of the finest harmonies I have ever heard. Paul Simon is one of the greatest songwriters of all time. His beautiful acoustic guitar and gorgeous voice coupled with Art Garfunkel’s exquisite high notes just all adds up to a truly heavenly sound. There’s a great deal more of their music to explore. Enjoy! 🌺✌️
I love this song! The harmonies get me every time! The only duo I can think of whose harmonies are on par would be The Everly Brothers. Such great music!
You have so much more to hear and enjoy from S&G, but of all their wonderful songs this happens to be my favorite, it is hauntingly beautiful and so evocative.
You say you need more S&G? If you haven't already, you've GOT to hear Bridge Over Troubled Water. The Boxer reflects the struggles of a young man trying to make it in New York City. Paul later wrote another verse that's not on the album version. It goes like this: Now the years are rolling by me, They are rockin' evenly I am older than I once was And younger than I'll be; that's not unusual, Nor is it strange After changes upon changes We are more or less the same, After changes we are more or less the same
You should hear the set they did at the 2015 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame concert at Madison Square Garden. Some really amazing versions of The Sound of Silence, Mrs Robinson, Bridge Over Troubled Water and The Boxer.
They were in choir and school musicals and realized that their voices went well together. They would practice harmonizing after school at one of their homes. It really paid off.
You should really do a deep dive into the 60's and 70's folk music genre. Simon & Garfunkel, Peter,Paul and Mary and The Byrds are good starting points.😀
Paul Simon, who wrote every song S&G recorded and performed. He is truly an unsung genius not really recognized as among his peers like Bob Dylan for example. Perhaps check out their live performances, like the Central Park concerts. I think you will be even more blown away, and did I mention Paul Simon’s guitar skills? Love your heart felt reactions. ❤
A true testament of the greatness of this song is that I never heard a cover. Where could you find another pair of voices with that harmony to even attempt it?
When recording this song they used 9 guitars including 1 microphone placed right inside one of the guitars. The clang sound you hear after the li li li's was done on the symbol of a drum set that was placed right near an elevator shaft.
My sentiments exactly. Thx for playing this again. You hit the mark with your critique of the genius of Simon and Garfunkel. I was so lucky to grow up in that generation.
I'm sure someone already commented about this, but the refrain "Lie, lie, lie...." is about the lies the singer tells himself as well as the lies he got from the record companies when he was struggling to make it early on. Or so I'm told.
I'm taken back to my pink bedroom with my turquoise record player listening to this album when I was fifteen. Over and over. Couldn't get enough of their amazing sound. 🎉❤
I was lucky enough to see Paul Simon on his Graceland tour in Germany in 1987. I still remember it as one of the best concerts I've ever seen. He played this song as an encore and the whole "alte Festhalle Frankfurt" sang along. Incredible...
The booming drum echo was made by Hal Blaine the session drummer. He held a snare drum in the elevator shaft just outside the studio and banged it. Kaboom!!!! Another great song on the album is The Only Living Boy in New York.
Missed you; please do their Scarborough Fair. Paul Simon was a master poet songwriter; go deep into their lyrics. There is always a story there to be had.
You MUST explore their entire hit catalog. Their classic hits are some of the most requested songs on RUclips reaction channels and it will gain you a lot of views each time: "Sound Of Silence", "The Boxer", "Bridge Over Troubled Water", "America", "Scarborough Fair/Canticle", "Mrs. Robinson", "El Condor Pasa", "Homeward Bound", "Cecilia", and a few others too!
I don’t know if this is true, but I heard a story that the way they got the effect of the symbol crash in the chorus is they put the drum kit in an empty elevator shaft. Cool story either way, lol. As everybody else has been saying, you really can’t go wrong with a Simon and Garfunkel song. 👍👍😄
Truly an iconic album and musicianship. Thanks so much for sharing. So sad music of this stature is fading into history. But the music lives on. Hopefully young musicians will here and carry on for what music really is. Not computer generated nonsense without soul.
Hello from Melbourne Australia I would just like to point out its Simon and Art Garfunkel and they are brothers my brother and I were just saying that we were the lucky generation our life even though we were still young we had the time of our lives with music freedom and lived the halcyon times bless 😊🐾🐾🐨🦘🇦🇺🎉❤
Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel. They met when they were young and were in school together. They might've been brothers from another mother. Or maybe even "blood" brothers considering they met when they were young. Lol But. Not actual brothers.
I was 10 yrs old when this album came out. My favourite 2 were 'The Boxer' & 'Bridge over Troubled Water'. My sister bought the album & just loved the album. Simon & Garfunkel are/were brilliant!!!
Glad to see this reaction. This is my fav S&G song. You have to see a good live version. Their harmony together are even better live. Thanks for doing this song.
No, this studio version is by far the ultimate performance. Live versions of an epic song like this always disappoint. The Simon and Garfunkel Concert in the Park was a complete disaster. A mediocre band playing to 400,000 people. Skip the live versions. The Old Friends concert in Madison Square Garden is their only decent filmed concert.
I like how Simon & Garfunkel, Johnny Cash & Kenny Rogers all have stories to their songs. Some songs I listen to & wonder what the heck they are trying to tell me. That's never the case, with the 3 artists mentioned. We always know & understand.
I saved up 77 cents and bought The Boxer at Modell's Shoppers World. I played it over and over- my mother finally asked if that record had another side. I still have it along with the Troubled Waters album. Great music that remains great.
All of their music is just SO wonderful. Everything they do is magic. One of Paul Simon's is so fun, and crazy amazing, I hope you can get around to it at some point! "She's Got Diamonds on the Soles of Her Shoes" !! Glad to see you back doing reactions!!
Bridge Over Troubled Water Scarborough Fair/Canticle Cecelia America My Little Town And one that hardly anyone knows but I find incredibly powerful, 7 O’Clock News/Silent Night
Their best song IMO, hands down. It IS relevant today. The perfect balance of subtle poetry, passion, and sweet harmonies. They emerged from the folk music revival of the early 60's which also produced Dylan and the UK and Australia counterparts Peter and Gordon, Chad and Jeremy, The Seekers, and so on. Folk/pop. Then folk rock - the Byrds most prominently. Folk musicians tended to be on the left end of the political spectrum (like Pete Seeger who was blacklisted) but S&G were apolitical which accounted for their more universal appeal. Paul Simon, a gifted songwriter, flourished creatively on his own
Agreed; but, I think the original recording first. The instrumentation on it is just so amazing and beautiful. - - but then, yes, their live CP of this is breathtaking.
I read that when they started out, they styled themselves on the Everly Brothers, whose harmonies are legendary. For a wonderful experience, check out Chet Atkins, Michael McDonald and Mark Knopfler backing the Everly Brothers singing Knopfler's 'Why Worry Now'.
Mrs. Robinson (from The Graduate), - solo Paul Simon - Diamonds on the Soles of her Shoes, Late In the Evening, Me & Julio Down by the Schoolyard, Graceland... goes on and on...
Very few people have reacted to a gem on side 2 called "The Only Living Boy in New York." It’s an autobiographical song (like this one), and it has some of the most haunting harmonies I’ve ever heard.
I grew up in the Simon and Garfunkel era…….there are hardly words to describe their wonderful music. You must listen to “ Bridge Over Troubled Water “ it is so beautiful!
And only reacted to on RUclips 83 times before. On the other hand: Richard Corey: 0 Times Flowers Never Bend with the Rainfall: 0 Times 59th Street Bridge Song: 2 Times A Hazy Shade of Winter: 4 Times
Here are your must listen to in the world of Simon and Garfunkel. Their biggest hit, greatest song is BRIDGE OVER TROUBLED WATER. CECEILIA is a very up beat fun song. Then there is SCARBOROUGH FAIR, this is actually 2 songs at once, Simon sings one and Garfunkel sings the other, one is about a lost love and one is about war. they are interwoven into a hauntingly beautiful song
This is a classic, the harmonies are great, the voice of Art Garfunkel, the talent of songwriting of Paul Simon, they have so many classics, next should be Bridge over trouble water, America, Cecilia, Condor Pasa, Also recommended the solo work of Paul Simon, one of the best musician and songwriter of all time, is a musical genius,
This is why the whole album was such a revelation. Every song was a complete surprise.
That entire album is a masterwork. There isn't a dud in the whole package.
One of the best albums ever.
Everything they produced is of the upmost quality .
That’s right. One of the greatest albums ever. So good The Boxer is only one of the all time classic songs on it.
TBF, there’s hardly a dud in Paul Simon’s entire 60+ year career.
It was the early 70's when Simon and Garfunkel into our lives. Our country was at war in VietNam, the government was taking our boyfriends, our brothers, our uncles, and they were dying over there by the thousands weekly. Simon and Garfunkel were our "safe place" to go at night into our bedrooms and get away from the news of the War. We are the BABY BOOM generation. You are in for a long and pleasant treat hearing the music that we were raised on....enjoy
Unless you lived in our generation you can't imagine how our music affected us...and why. Indeed❤
I've always love the line " a man hears what he wants to hear and discard's the rest".
Not " discards"- it is "Dis-regards"❤❤
🇨🇦 No, EVERYONE needs to get back to this kind of music ! Very few artists these days have even half that talent ! 🇨🇦
Exactly! Where did all the great writers go?😢
This is the song that Paul Simon was asked to sing on SNL after 9-11. Standing behind him were nothing but NYC First Responders. I cried like a baby. So powerful!❤❤❤
I'm tearing up right now.
Yeah, …me too man.
60's and 70's the 2 Best Decades of Music
Amen! I am 69 years old. Saw every great band from the start and saw how they influenced the music industry for decades!
This tune has so much texture from the bass harmonica to the perfect natural reverb...the strings, then melt the vocal butter over all that...
This particular song is proof that you don't need to scream & shout and belt it out to make good music and a good song. And singers at the time knew how to make music without having to strain their vocal chords.
For me... this remains one of the greatest songs ever made... even after hearing it a thousand times since it first came out in 1968.
The music has layers of brilliance. The vocal harmonies are magical. And the lyrics are some of the best ever written.
None like them. Paul Simon - a true poet.
"Bridge Over Troubled Water," "Scarborough Fair Canticle," and "El Condor Pasa" are all three incredible songs along with many others.
Sounds of Silence
El Condor Pasa is another great song. They don't really have bad songs.
Kings of Folk Rock. ALL of their music is remarkable. You MUST review BRIDGE OVER TROUBLED WATER.
They transcended, transcend the genre, genre generally. They moved from folk musicians to musicians, period. Their music is elemental to it’s time but seems to have also become timeless.
Among the greats of their, our time.
This is one rabbit hole that I know you will love. These two were one the best duos in any genre of music.
Their songs are timeless.
Their so many songs to choose from to do next.
Cecilia
Bridge Over Troubled Water
Mrs Robinson
Scarborough Fair
I Am a Rock
Homeward Bound
The 59th Street Bridge Song
and America will all be great next steps.
I love the new backlighting, Craig.😊
I read somewhere that Cecilla was the god of music and this was written when Paul was having a writing block so he called on Cecilla.
@@guyray1504 Cecelia is the patron saint of music and musicians.
Speaking of rabbits, Bright Eyes from the movie 'Watership Down' is a good one. Though he might not be able to show that one, due to the film.
One of my favorites... "I Am A Rock"
Great blast from the past song. It was released in 1974. Hard to believe it was 50 years ago.
"I am leaving, I am leaving, but the fighter still remains."
They started singing together & putting together their harmony when they were 11 years old. They had their first hit record at 15 years old.
This duo produced some of the best harmonies and most iconic songs ever, across any genre. They will always be one of my favorite groups. Paul Simon’s writing isn’t just music, it can honestly be considered poetry. Thanks for sharing this one. It’s been awhile since I heard it. Great reaction as always!
I grew up listening to Simon & Garfunkel & had a lot of their records. Absolutely loved them & their harmonies. You won't find a bad song.

I love "At the Zoo"! They used that for a Bronx Zoo commercial back in the 70s/80s maybe - - some time way back. I didn't even know it was their song until years later. I don't think anyone has reacted to that.
Don’t forget Kodachrome!! 😎😎
"Still a man hears what he wants to hear but disregards the rest."
The lyrics give this song its power and poignancy. The great orchestral accompaniment at the end also adds to the power.
It is a mellotron, not orchestra.
This duo recorded some of the finest harmonies I have ever heard. Paul Simon is one of the greatest songwriters of all time. His beautiful acoustic guitar and gorgeous voice coupled with Art Garfunkel’s exquisite high notes just all adds up to a truly heavenly sound. There’s a great deal more of their music to explore. Enjoy! 🌺✌️
Saw them in concert, 1967 Portland Oregon. I was obsessed with Paul Simon. A musical genius. They were considered a folk duo.
Welcome back. Good to see you.
They had so many wonderful songs. This is a fantastic one and their harmonies were the best.
I love the crescendo at the end..
I love this song! The harmonies get me every time! The only duo I can think of whose harmonies are on par would be The Everly Brothers. Such great music!
In a word... Poetry!😊
Great song.definitely in my top 3 favourite songs of theirs
Please listen to "Scarborough Fair". It is magical and will blow you away with their harmony.
You have so much more to hear and enjoy from S&G, but of all their wonderful songs this happens to be my favorite, it is hauntingly beautiful and so evocative.
Love S & G since they were new and Love this one best
Bridge Over Troubled Water is another favorite from an album of great music
You say you need more S&G? If you haven't already, you've GOT to hear Bridge Over Troubled Water.
The Boxer reflects the struggles of a young man trying to make it in New York City.
Paul later wrote another verse that's not on the album version. It goes like this:
Now the years are rolling by me, They are rockin' evenly
I am older than I once was And younger than I'll be;
that's not unusual, Nor is it strange
After changes upon changes We are more or less the same,
After changes we are more or less the same
You should hear the set they did at the 2015 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame concert at Madison Square Garden. Some really amazing versions of The Sound of Silence, Mrs Robinson, Bridge Over Troubled Water and The Boxer.
On the harmonies: these guys started performing together in middle school - - age 12 or 13.
They were in choir and school musicals and realized that their voices went well together. They would practice harmonizing after school at one of their homes. It really paid off.
You should really do a deep dive into the 60's and 70's folk music genre. Simon & Garfunkel, Peter,Paul and Mary and The Byrds are good starting points.😀
Yes glad to see you back also!
So many great songs from them and Paul Simon solo. Please do Bridge Over Troubled Water and Still Crazy After All These Years
Paul Simon, who wrote every song S&G recorded and performed. He is truly an unsung genius not really recognized as among his peers like Bob Dylan for example. Perhaps check out their live performances, like the Central Park concerts. I think you will be even more blown away, and did I mention Paul Simon’s guitar skills? Love your heart felt reactions. ❤
A true testament of the greatness of this song is that I never heard a cover. Where could you find another pair of voices with that harmony to even attempt it?
Very, very rarely have two voices blended better than these two men! They weren’t even biologically related yet their voices blend so beautifully!
Glad to see you. Always enjoy your reactions.
I always love your reactions. Unpretentious....❤
When recording this song they used 9 guitars including 1 microphone placed right inside one of the guitars. The clang sound you hear after the li li li's was done on the symbol of a drum set that was placed right near an elevator shaft.
Check out Simon and Garfunkel, the Concert in Central Park. It is epic.
This album is and will always be my all-time favorite. Their harmonies are absolutely the best!!!!
There is a cover with Alison Kraus. It’s great!
Lovely reaction. Good to see, and feel, you experiencing and appreciating this music, that is dear to so many.
My sentiments exactly. Thx for playing this again. You hit the mark with your critique of the genius of Simon and Garfunkel. I was so lucky to grow up in that generation.
oh my gosh! So glad you're back. Missed you and your reactions!
I hope you were having fun somewhere!! 🙂
I'm sure someone already commented about this, but the refrain "Lie, lie, lie...." is about the lies the singer tells himself as well as the lies he got from the record companies when he was struggling to make it early on. Or so I'm told.
The chain thrown on the studio floor gives the impression of the boxer's punch.
I'm taken back to my pink bedroom with my turquoise record player listening to this album when I was fifteen. Over and over. Couldn't get enough of their amazing sound. 🎉❤
I was lucky enough to see Paul Simon on his Graceland tour in Germany in 1987. I still remember it as one of the best concerts I've ever seen. He played this song as an encore and the whole "alte Festhalle Frankfurt" sang along. Incredible...

My favorite Simon&Garfunkel song because of the atory!!!
Their music got me through some tough times. Paul's solo stuff was also great.
Great reaction! Look at Kodachrome, Mrs Robinson & the really folky Scarborough Fair , just for starters!!! Hugs from Down Under 🐨🐨🇦🇺🇦🇺😎😎
Cecilia is one of my favorite songs of theirs. Funky best to it
Paul Simon...one of the greatest guitar players of all time...brilliant.
Hello from Melbourne Australia I would just like to point out its Simon and Art Garfunkel and they are brothers my brother and I were just saying that we were the lucky generation our life even though we were still young we had the time of our lives with music freedom and lived the halcyon times bless 😊🐾🐾🐨🦘🇦🇺🎉❤

But. Not actual brothers.
AMERICA studio version, and OLD FRIENDS/BOOKENDS studio version.
Both beautiful, listen to the words.
Well done ❤
Bridge Over Troubled Waters
at 7:46, "... back when it was released maybe DECADES ago..." -- yep, over 5 decades ago, my friend!
I was 10 yrs old when this album came out. My favourite 2 were 'The Boxer' & 'Bridge over Troubled Water'. My sister bought the album & just loved the album. Simon & Garfunkel are/were brilliant!!!
90 % of there songs are brilliant.
Incredible harmony and great storytellers from back in the day. (My time) Thanks from Australia!
Pretty amazing ain’t it? The perfect song imo.
Check out the original sound of silence. There is no comparison, again imo. 😊
Glad to see this reaction. This is my fav S&G song. You have to see a good live version. Their harmony together are even better live. Thanks for doing this song.

Absolutely never tire of this.

So many great hits by them.
They weren’t together very long but they definitely created great classic music, Paul Simon’s writing skills are top notch
Bridge Over Troubled Water
Scarborough Fair/Canticle
Cecelia
America
My Little Town
And one that hardly anyone knows but I find incredibly powerful, 7 O’Clock News/Silent Night
Cecelia is one of my favorites!
Their best song IMO, hands down. It IS relevant today. The perfect balance of subtle poetry, passion, and sweet harmonies. They emerged from the folk music revival of the early 60's which also produced Dylan and the UK and Australia counterparts Peter and Gordon, Chad and Jeremy, The Seekers, and so on. Folk/pop. Then folk rock - the Byrds most prominently. Folk musicians tended to be on the left end of the political spectrum (like Pete Seeger who was blacklisted) but S&G were apolitical which accounted for their more universal appeal. Paul Simon, a gifted songwriter, flourished creatively on his own
Listen to Sound of Silence live in Central Park (1981) and Bridge Over Troubled Waters. They are fantastic.
Agreed; but, I think the original recording first. The instrumentation on it is just so amazing and beautiful. - - but then, yes, their live CP of this is breathtaking.
I read that when they started out, they styled themselves on the Everly Brothers, whose harmonies are legendary. For a wonderful experience, check out Chet Atkins, Michael McDonald and Mark Knopfler backing the Everly Brothers singing Knopfler's 'Why Worry Now'.
Mrs. Robinson (from The Graduate), - solo Paul Simon - Diamonds on the Soles of her Shoes, Late In the Evening, Me & Julio Down by the Schoolyard, Graceland... goes on and on...
Very few people have reacted to a gem on side 2 called "The Only Living Boy in New York." It’s an autobiographical song (like this one), and it has some of the most haunting harmonies I’ve ever heard.
I grew up in the Simon and Garfunkel era…….there are hardly words to describe their wonderful music. You must listen to “ Bridge Over Troubled Water “ it is so beautiful!
Yea, I was 11yo when this one came out, still moves me deeply.
And only reacted to on RUclips 83 times before. On the other hand:
Richard Corey: 0 Times
Flowers Never Bend with the Rainfall: 0 Times
59th Street Bridge Song: 2 Times
A Hazy Shade of Winter: 4 Times
😊 they also have some fun light-hearted songs my favorite album is the bookends album and there's some of those light-hearted songs
Dive into their music and you will have no regrets, amazing duo
Absolutely love your reaction. And you’re spot on. Keep going “back” to all the music of (mainly) the 70’s. So much more to experience.
"America" and "American Tune", "Kathy's Song" (most poetic), "Homeward Bound", "Mrs Robinson", "Cecelia"
Must hear Scarborough Fair/Canticle with lyrics video.
Incredible!
Here are your must listen to in the world of Simon and Garfunkel. Their biggest hit, greatest song is BRIDGE OVER TROUBLED WATER. CECEILIA is a very up beat fun song. Then there is SCARBOROUGH FAIR, this is actually 2 songs at once, Simon sings one and Garfunkel sings the other, one is about a lost love and one is about war. they are interwoven into a hauntingly beautiful song
Great memories.
This is a classic, the harmonies are great, the voice of Art Garfunkel, the talent of songwriting of Paul Simon, they have so many classics, next should be Bridge over trouble water, America, Cecilia, Condor Pasa, Also recommended the solo work of Paul Simon, one of the best musician and songwriter of all time, is a musical genius,
I'm soooo very glad you are back. Missed you !
Great song
