The video stars actress/musician Jena Malone (Into the Wild, Pride & Prejudice, Donny Darko) with a cameo by singer/songwriter Henry Wolfe. Shot on 8 mm film in the hills of Echo Park, LA's new bohemian hub, and drenched in golden light, the video recalls the romantic quality of the great films of the 1970s -- a perfect fit for Harper's classic sounding folk-rock love song written to a friend.
Directed by Benjamin Kutsko.
Beautiful... He cannot deny the gift of his father's voice. Amazing.
And guitar!
So good to see Paul Simon's children making their mark!!! Wonderful vocals, music & style. Dance while you can, Harper.
I met him at a summer camp when he was 10 years old. He was more mature than most of the adult counselors there. He could play the hell out of a guitar at 10 years old. He told me he took his first steps in a hotel room in Paris and Randy Newman was there. Not your typical upbringing.
Not to mention he was Carrie Fishers step son. She spoke very fondly about Harper. They were friends as adults too.
Wow, favorited. I love Jena Malone! And this song is pure Simon & Garfunkle. I've got to check out more from this Harper Simon fellow. :)
Heard this yesterday on the radio' i was convinced id heard it before' thought it Was paul Simon, what a perfect clone of his fathers is this guy..Brill song.5*****
This guitar is beautifully played, love it !
Beautiful song! We need more music like this in today's 'plastic' day and age!
You're so right.
Agreed.
Listen to “The Dangling Conversation” by Simon and Garfunkel.
A truly memorable song! Beautiful Words! Powerful Emotions! Tells a beautiful story and will be as memorable as some of the songs of his fathers! Another "Simon" hits the the streets!!
Jena Malone has such a genuine beauty and elegance about her
wonderful - thanks for posting this................I'm aged enough to remember his Dad in his early days lol! How proud he must be huh?
i'm the only only who stills listening to this amazing song? :) in 2020
2024 and I just listened to it...... again 😊
Very talented! Lovely song. Reminds me of Paul. He learned from a master.
Harper...... OMG those harmonies and his singing it's beautiful! 10 stars up!
The usage of Super 8 film makes the footage appear 20-30 years older than it really is! Quality cinematography like this inspires me to bring 8mm film into my market of Film and VIdeo Production here in Portland, Oregon.

Jena Malone is so beautiful in the most emotional, playful, down to earth ways. I wish I was her.
Love this . Such a retro feel . Great genes Harper . Loved your dad now love you !
"And BINGO was his name-o" ... Just saw the video where Paul and Harper record the BINGO song. So adorable!... 💞
His voice meets wonderfuly the Simon garfunkel harmonie vocals . Soft and pure
They couldn't have chosen a better girl for the video of such a dreamy, beautiful song.
This music penetrates my deepest innermost.
Anyone listening in 2020?
Yes!! My most played song of 2022
2023! Reminds me a lot of S&G’s Dangling Conversation. ❤
Oh, yeah..Like finding an old Paul Simon diamond..Wonderful. I freaking love this song/sound...It's 1968 again..Thank you, Harper. The vid is also perfect.
Wow sounds like Simon and Garfunkel. ..melody.so awesome got dad's talent
There should be a "LOVE" button for this (:
This song was beautiful.
"....and the smile of Joan Fontaine". Pure Poetry.xxxxx.
Beautiful song with just enough of his Dad. His ‘Berkeley Girl’ is to swoon over.Nicely designed song.
This really recalls the feeling of the 70's its so beautiful :-) And the vid is really awesome finally a real musician in that crazy music world
What a beautiful tune, props to Harper
a gem of a song xx please some more harper!!
We need more music like this. More beautifully written songs. Harper has a God given talent.
Ohmygod, why am I only hearing this now???
Such a beutifull
song, beutifully sung !
Great song
Beautiful song.
I came to see the super 8. But then, wow, what an amazing song! I'm hooked. I think I'll listen to it squeezed between Paul Simon and Donovan on my playlist!!!
This is exactly the kind of thing I would expect to hear from the son of Paul Simon.
I love this song. I do hope the future holds more of this kind of magic for Haper Simon. Wonderful voice.
Harper's a very nice musician.
Calhoun School, represent! And hooray for 8-millimeter film! It looks amazing! Peace.
sooo pretty, love the lyrics
Definitely an early 70's music vibe...beautiful!
maybe the most beautiful song i have EVER heard
One part sounds strikingly similar to "The Dangling Conversation" melodically/rhythmically... you can definitely tell his father was a big influence on him musically (as is only natural, and I mean, who better to be influenced by than Paul Simon, really...)
Summer Grace the first time i heard this song, not knowing who it was by, my first thought was "that sounds like someone tryimg to do a Paul Simon impression. I wasnt that far off lol
It’s true. Some of the lyrics sounds like their song: “for emily, whenever I may find her”
Beautiful song!
Jena Malone 😍😍
great song
like father like son
hope he can maintain high standard
Beautiful
Best song I heard for months
Easily my favorite song from the first album.
I think I was the last person on earth to 'twig ' that this Paul Jnr !! LOL !! However always loved Pa and this is just SO beautiful in its own right, love love it x
Simply Beautiful ❤
Lovely tune. Beautiful and kind women are tops
I heard this on the radio without catching who it was by, and my thoughts were "this sounds like someone doing a Paul Simon impression". And then going "ah, yes, that'll explain that, then" when I heard who it was by.
this was beautiful
I love this song xxx
Why does this kind of music get so little attention in these days?
The song is so beautiful.Any pictures will do.
omg, I've been looking for this video forever
Beautiful tune. Had to google this fellow after watching him interview Mark from Devo. Very nice.
He's got just his father's voice.
nothing to say jena malone is just perfect the way she is
no other girl amuses me like she does
Like his voice /how he sings and sounds
This song puts a smile on my face :-)
Cant stop playing this fantastic record!
Fantastic work. The Super 8 footage looks AMAZING! Great working with you!
That's one of my favourite Demis Roussos songs. A real toe tapper.
Awesome-So glad to see people shooting on Pro 8. I'm currently shooting a Film myself using the same format. "ESCAPE" . You guys did a wonderful Job,seemed like a blast to make and the colors so vibrant.
beautiful song, beautifully sung !
nice, sweet song, love it.
Lyrical elements of "North Country Girl," a distant homage to that Dylan classic.
Beautiful vivir,almost like Paul.
perfect.
There's something of his father in the voice,in the lyrics..The 1st time I heard it, I thought "damn..a song by Paul simon that I don't know"
me too, close your eyes and its paul simon
this is fantastic.
just wonderfull ! support from France.
I always come back.
i love!!
Thnaks... Much Love xxx
top song i love it :) thanks for sharing
Omg I love this :)
A chip off the ould block 👏
beautiful....great filming too
Quién lo hereda no lo hurta , te felicito.
tuniper and lamplight..... still, this is really nice
I've GOT it! The chord progression is straight from "Dangling Conversation" ("and you read your Emily Dickinson, and I my Robert Frost"...); the lyrics, of course, are partly drawn from Scarborough Fair. Quite an ear I've got, eh? : ) Some may call it copying, I think it's a clever ode.
great !
I always wonder why Harper stopped making albums. The two he made were phenomenal.
Not bad not bad!
1:01 that melody part of the song is a tribute to Dangling Conversation by Paul Simon.
First time I heard it I thought it was his father. Great"paulsimon-like tune !"
lovely dam lovely
Born and raised in Berkeley girl but soon to make my home in Hollywood! I guess I'm not the only one :-)
Its got to be hard growing up the son of one of the most famous and successful singer/song writer's in the world because anything you do in that same field will be compared however using 'Juniper & Crinoline' in your song which your father also used in his is, well inviting the comparisons.
+global001 It's probably hard, while also a big advantage. I think referencing his Dad's songs is actually really nice, as long as it is something like that which is rather obscure.
jena malone is an underrated actress and musician i know this isnt her song obviously but her music kicks ass
Jena Malone
chill beautiful song that for whatever reason feels like it should be in a Wes Anderson movie. Is it just me or does anyone else think that Harper here (at 38) look like a pudgy 1970's Paul McCartney??
Songwriting isn't often autobiographical. I confess I've written 3 songs about being a murderer, but I can't confess to being a murderer (except the occasional ant sqwuished under foot). Songwriting's about telling stories. If he wasn't Paul Simon's son, and he wrote the same song, would you still judge as you do? I've written tons of songs that sound like my influences, which very much includes Paul Simon. One of Harpers influences happens to be that same guy, who happens to be his dad.
ça ressemble énormément à du Simon & Garfunkel.... IL y a même des passages où c'est même de la copie parfaite....mais c'est beau.
J'adore simon & Garfunkel et au moins autant le travail de Paul Simon des dernières années.
It would be disingenuous if he *tried* to **not** sound like his father. Same genes, influenced his entire life, and, as most sons do who love their fathers, strives to be just like him. Or, at least, doesn't try NOT to be... Gorgeous song.
It sounds like "Simon & Garfunkel" because Harper Simon is the son of Paul Simon. It's in his genes.
Well said, so true! His father, Paul Simon, must be delighted to have a son like Harper following his path!!!
