When I was in the Navy we were coming back from deployment and we were approaching San Diego Harbor about 15 minutes out. This song got played over the ship's 1MC system and nobody said a word anywhere on the ship while this song played. Keep in mind, this was 300+ guys, getting ready to see friends and loved ones after a 6 month deployment. Everybody busy as hell because just about everyone has a job to do when we pull in. Everyone just did what they had to do silently. I was walking from the stern to the bow of the ship so I passed guys in every part of the ship. Not a word. First and last time I ever heard that entire crew quiet for that long. Total magic.
@markw999... Very cool. And I’m sure our imaginations can’t compare to being there. Thanks for sharing.
Rare experience there
This is a beautiful memory. Thank you so much for sharing it, internet stranger. LLAP 🖖
Bravo Zulu.
That is a phenomenal memory. It doesn’t surprise me at all. Awesome, thank you for sharing that.
It's amazing how he's kept his voice.
If we had more Simon or Simon and Garfunkel, we would be a better world. Thank you Paul. Thank you for the beauty and love and respect you put back in music. If this world is still around 20 or 30 years from now, they better hope they are still listening to the best music ever written.
Thank you, dear Paul Simon, for the beautiful songs you have given to us for so many years. I think you’re a genius, a humble genius.
He's not humble

Just shared this with my father. He would sing this to us in front of the fire place in the living room when were little.
That is beautiful, thank you for sharing your music of the heart with us as well. Stay Well !!!
That's beautiful 🙂
Golden oldie still going strong❣️👌
Lyrics are engraved from the 60’s young half filled brains❣️🌹💫
John Nelson is yo dad Willie nelson
Fantastic story.
my favourite songwriter. He's a musical genius, his voice is perfect in my opinion and his music just makes me feel relaxed, content and happy.
@Roland Kaiser What the fuck
Still gives me a goosebump to see a legend influencing my music preference since 40 years ago performing without a glitch. You’re truly a legend Paul
Lovely job Paul. Supremely confident and, for a song he has sung so often, there is still feeling in there.
Yes and I find this performance particularly soulful, it’s hard to describe in just words. Tender maybe? ❤
FOR SOME STRANGE REASON, THIS MADE ME FEEL REALLY HOMESICK FOR MY CHILDHOOD, I WILL HAVE MY 78TH BIRTHDAY NEXT FRIDAY..
Happy Birthday, Mary!
Have a great 78th tomorrow young lady..🌹🎉🎂🥂
I know how you feel...I’m 77 and long for the “old times”..Happy Birthday 🎂🎉🍾🥂🎂
I have exactly the same feeling. Maybe ’cause i am from the same generation as you are. Next month i’ll be 76. Greetings from Belgium friend.
Happy birthday!!
Thank you Paul Simon for everything you've done. Your music really means so much to so many.
I love u Paul Simon. U were my company all life long...unforgettable music

More fragile and at the same time more powerful than ever. Thanks Paul, you are still rock’n.

It's like a bottle of fine old wine. You want to drink it but also keep it forever
Paul, your voice is as incredible today as it was yesterday. I grew up listening to you and love that we can grow older together. Thank you for the gift of your music.
Willie Nelson, you are an Icon of Americana and your voice and songs are Timeless! Thanks for being therapeutic and always there!
This great artist wil be 80 years old this year!
Wow... more than 50 years, have i loved this song, by the American Sir Paul... this is tear-jerking fantastic...
This just sooooooths me.
Yessssss💜💟💜💟💜💟💜💟💜💟💜💟💜💟
Awesome! Keep going! Thanks for all the fantastic music over the years (I’m 61)!
In 1969 I was in my first semester of College and I saw them play at Wichita State University. I was an amazing night for this 18 year old away from home for the first time. Thanks Paul for everything.
I never tire of this song, especially as sung and played by Paul Simon.
does anyone else feel like they have a secret little gem? a chance to chat with a legend. Hi Paul and Willie!!! love you guys!!!
I love you Paul...magic and wonderful after all this years...🥰😍🥰😍🥰😍❤❤❤❤my only dream is Talking with you...
Such a captivating and timeless marriage of poetry and music! I ♥️ you Paul. Bridge Over Troubled Water was the first album I ever got. I was 8 years old and my mom didn’t know a thing about popular music in the 70s, but I’m forever grateful to the salesperson that chose this for me. My little friend and I used to sing every song together in front of the large dresser mirror in my room, with our hairbrush microphones and the record playing on a portable record player, dreaming that we would one day be stars. . #favourite memory
@@someawsomeguy100 Ooh Karen
Mr. SIMON I LOVE YOU AND YOUR BEAUTIFUL CLASSIC SONGS....
Un Bonheur ...!!! depuis 58 ans ...!! SUPER BRAVO Paul ...!!! tu as été un model pour beaucoup de gens ...!!
A timeless classic! Love it... actually the BEST version I have ever heard! Thanks Paul
I'm a 28 years old Italian guy, I've found your music through my father's lp when I was 15, he passed away when I was six. Since then, I still can't believe how you and Art could possibly write and sing the best songs ever with just one guitar and two voices. Seeing and hearing that you still have that incredible voice amazes me beyond any imagination. Thank you!!
My children, listen to my LP's of Paul on his own.......his talent over the years is ABSOLUTELY PRICELESS , TODAY ! Thank you, Paul for your inspiration. ❤❤❤
A masterful singer, songwriter and guitar picker......when will we see his like again
Still sounding fantastic - how can 54 people not like this .... amazing writer and performer still
Amazing 👌 thank you Paul Simon for comforting the world with your songs which mean so very much to me and to so very many. ❤️

Paul Simon is a National Treasure, plain and simple! His fingerstyle guitar playing, licks, melodies, harmonies, vocals, rhythms, and lyrics are unbelievably moving, and collectively, they are out of this world. As a fingerstyle guitar player myself, I owe a great deal of gratitude to Paul Simon and his wonderful music. Best wishes to him and many thanks for decades of pure pleasure and inspiration.
Thank you for everything. You are an amazing man, and my children and grandchildren are inspired by you.
No one could tell a story like Paul Simon, and his lyrics were pure poetry.
Dear Paul Simon, I would like to take a moment to tell you what role you have played in my life.
Robert Douglass is my name, and here's my story. When I reached my prime I left my home for Hong Kong (it was just a band tour). The year was 1986 and I had never heard of Simon and Garfunkel, but I bought my first Walkman and one cassette. Since I didn't know any records at all, I reached for Bridge over Troubled Water, for no reason. Yet, when I listened to it, I was overcome with the most powerful feelings of homesickness and longing for my mother that I have ever experienced. It took me a long time to understand what had happened, but I became a fan.
Then, on a family vacation, with six stressed travelers in a tent, tensions were high, and the bickering was starting. It was dark and we were trying to fall asleep, but everyone was just so agitated. I was 16 at the time, and I turned up my Walkman all the way to the song So Long Frank Lloyd Wright. I held up the headphones so that everyone could hear the music, if they strained their ears. Slowly, everyone in the family tuned in, and listened to the wisp of the song until the end. I stopped the tape and we fell asleep in peaceful silence.
As a young professional I took upon the task of writing a book about software. It was a hard task for me as focusing on "homework" like assignments has never been my strong suit. I needed to concentrate on the texts for hours a day and it was extremely difficult. The only thing - and I truly mean the ONLY thing - that I found I could do to make my mind focus, was to put on the album "Paul Simon" and listen to Duncan on repeat. For whatever reason, that song meant I could focus on my writing. The book was a success. I'd never be able to write one now, but you helped me through it.
And now, on June 18, 2020, you release this beautiful video. I'm an ageing man. I'll turn 50 soon. But I've been learning to sing, and I often sing your songs to learn from and to practice. I know that the only way to maintain a voice into these decades is through hard work. And you show me that it is possible to sing so beautifully, and to not fear who we are, when we are.
June 18, 2020 will forever be a special day, and I'll remember it for the rest of my life. I remember in St. Judy's Comet, you sang to your sleepy little boy. I thought about you, as a father. And on June 18, 2020, I, too, became a father, to a beautiful son, to whom I will sing lullaby's that you wrote.
Oh, and why did Bridge Over Troubled Water cause me so much homesickness? So much that I was crying for my mom as a 14 year old? I discovered that it was the song my mother sang to me - in utero - in 1971/72. You were truly the first, and most profound musical influence in my life.
Thank you for the music.
Blessings
Lovely.
There are NO coincidences in life. If you remember that you will be a wise man. Always seek the seek the reason until you must let it go. Then, the reason will find YOU. Trust me. I’m 74 now. I should have died in September. I’m still here. I don’t yet know the reason. It will find me when I’m ready. Bless you and your son! Raise him right. But be sure to PLAY with him! Play teddy bears and puppets while he’s little. Cars, jacks, and pick up sticks, too. Tag and kick the can and darts and Chutes and Ladders! Go swimming and horseback riding! Learn archery together! (It’s a fun sport for girls and boys!) Go for nature hikes and collect seeds or leaves and identify! Make a poster board to hang in house! Study dinosaurs or space space ships. Track hurricanes every season! Get a large map you can write on and wipe off! Study clouds and the stars! Do EVERYTHING you can that all you have to do is step into your backyard. Your kid will NEVER be bored! But one thing above all! HAVE FUN! Have the time of your life so he HAS THE TIME OF HIS LIFE! Oh! And don’t forget blowing bubbles at bath time! Lololol
Oh my god what a beautiful story. Thank you for sharing Robert. Congratulation on becoming a new dad and may your son be healthy!
The opening of your second paragraph was so much like the end of the first verse and middle of the second verse of _Duncan,_ I was waiting for that song to be brought up:
"Couple in the next room, bound to win a prize,
"They've been goin' at it all night long.
"Well I'm tryin to get some sleep, but these motel walls are cheap,
"Lincoln Duncan is my name and here's my song,
"Here's my song."
"My father was a fisherman; my mama was the fisherman's friend,
"And I was born in the boredom and the chowder.
"So when I reached my prime, I left my home in the Maritimes,
"And headed down the turnpike for New England,
"Sweet New England."
When you *did* mention the song, I gathered that it must have been a little pun on your part. Well done!
I had recently started college when S&G became hit-makers, and I soon took up guitar, aiming to learn lots & lots of acoustic-friendly songs - folk, folk-rock, popular - including virtually all of S&G's songs. After graduating, with the group's break-up, I still targeted many of Paul's solo-era songs, including _Duncan,_ which my "baby" sister introduced me to.
I share your fondness for their songs; but I suspect you've got me beat in the fondness category. In particular, _Bridge Over Troubled Water_ has always been tinged with sadness for me, that having been the title song of their breakup album, released at the time I was being drafted - end of 1969.
Little did I suspect some day hearing from someone who was being serenaded in the womb with that song, soon after that time.
Thanks, Robert, for the awesome story!
And I, too, thank you, Paul, for tons of wonderful music! You couldn't possibly know what a godsend your songs have been for my musical education & appreciation!
_Homeward Bound,_ your & Art's (not counting Tom & Jerry) 2nd single, was among the first handful of songs that I learned on the guitar, ≈ 54 years ago now!
It taught me the G-flying-C trick back then - no wait - it was the next single, _I Am a Rock_ that taught me that; _Homeward_ used a different, but similar hammer-on trick.
Fred
Timeless.
💓💞💓Yes! Always 💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞
I enjoy singing this song so much that the neighbors dogs join in ! MR SIMON THANK YOU FOR THE MUSIC!
That was beautiful. You've still got it. It's beautiful to see and elder singer play some of the wonderful music that he made and still sound so good. God bless you, Paul!
I love Paul's finger picking style. It's so fluid and beautiful. I've learned some of his song like Kathy's song, the Boxer, Sounds of silence, & April comes she will. The lyrics will get to you and the melody will engulf you. The best singer/songwriter of our time.
I like everything about Paul Simon - the way he talks and looks, the way he philosophizes, his liquid lyrics which roll of the tongue, the unbelievable cool way he plays guitar and sings, his acerbic wit, and the wistful nature of his entire being. He is completely unique. The world will never ever forget the great Paul Simon.
Music of my entire life. Stay well Paul and thanks for your lifetime contribution to humanity.
One of the greatest songwriters/performers of our generation. Thanks Paul!
Our purpose in life is to give of our gifts daily to souls needing a miracle on that given day. Paul, you give your gift to many with every note you sing.
I pray the world finds the peace in your soul.
Your gift is the miracle.
Ignore the communist propaganda from the media....they’re job is to try and create division....cowards
@doons403 Only if it provides a miracle to help or heal others in a positive way.
A pen can be used to wax poetic and inspire. It could also be used to slander or even physically harm. Every moment is a choice.
Paul found his gift early and lifts many to this day.
@@yournightmareracing1754 yes. Even when he was just a young man he wrote lyrics that were beyond his years.
@@ouchka-witit8845 You're so right Sandy!
Every word from Paul takes me back to happiness, your music has made a terrible time much better. Thanks man.
so dramatic lol
@@lewisbracken5520 you think that's bad... I cried listening to it😭
An American Treasure.....Thank you Paul for all the beautiful music.
Paul SIMON...an INTERNATIONAL treasure! Thank you for sharing all those wonderful tunes.
Every now and then - God drops a true gift on humanity and says I hope you like this one - this is one of my best efforts. You Paul Simon are one of those rare gifts, and you share yourself with the rest of us so eloquently. Thank you so much. You may not realize just how much you mean to the rest of the world.
No one can match that Paul Simon timbre - magic whether solo or in duet
Merci, merci, cher Paul Simon, pour cette si belle offrande, ce cadeau cette chanson, avec votre voix douce et chaleureuse.Là dans votre pure simplicité et tout votre immense talent de musicien, de compositeur, de poète....Quel amour donné là dans ce moment délicat. Les larmes de je ne sais où, ruissellent de mes yeux, sur mes joues et c'est comme si une grande paix se répandait en moi. Merci et encore merci.
Over in Germany in the 70s coming back to the states recalling this song while actually sitting at a railroad station -what memories.
Dear Paul Simon - thank you for all your music. I've been a fan for most of my life. My sister introduced me to your music and since she passed away I always find even more comfort in your music than I did - and I always have. I saw you perform in New Zealand and you were and are amazing. I'll never get enough of your songwriting, playing and beautiful voice.
As amazing and beautiful as ever. Thank you.
First time to hear your song was long time ago in 1971, after all these years, I am still enjoy your song.
Great! Simply Great! It's not just a song - it's classic! Timeless......
"Homeward Bound," was THE first recorded music that I laid my own money down for! Must have been '66 - '67. I remember it well, because I loved the way the story/lyrics (represented by the melody) laid over the chords so beautifully.
It created such a clear picture, and set a mood. The more I listened, the more I wanted to listen. Hooked for life. Been learning from Paul ever since, and grateful that we have him.
Respect for your wonderful career and everything you have contributed to music. Thank you very much Mr Simon!
Dang near 80 years old and still sounds that great
Been a fan since the 70s and still remember seeing you oerfory many times starting with Three Rivers Stadium in Pittsburgh. Thank you for sharing your gift with us all these years.
I love this song.
i Love you Paul

What a beautiful performance, especially considering you're 78! After all these years, you haven't lost it! The day you leave us Paul, is the day the music dies.
Thank you for all of your music! You've been my number one singer-songwriter ever since I knew about you, and I'm 17! Don't stop please!
I thank God that I have saw Paul Simon on at least 10 times live. Also met him and his band in Glasgow in 1991,so to me my bucket list is nearly filled. Beautiful song,and thanks to Paul Simon for all your music.
Thanks..your songs are great... From back in the day to the present.. keep on keepin on....Paul Simon ..😁
This is so moving... especially to those of us working or sheltering far from home, and unable to return because of what's going on.
Ditto. Tough being away from familiar things and people during threatening times.
Your words sound like the basis for a really timely song!🙏🏽
Sounds so very good. Smooth and pleasant to my ears.
Whenever I travel singing in small corners of my country Costa Rica, I sing some of your songs, and they always bring beautiful emotions to people. tanks... again.
When I was young, I discovered your immense talent with eternal songs: the boxer, Homeward Bound, Mr Robinson etc. In central park. Thank you very much you are still among the greats.
He is great. He fullfills my need to hear good music.
When someone is simultaneously highly regarded and vastly underrated as a guitar player, it’s a sign that they are rather good.
Beautiful as it was and now. Thnaks Paul Simon.
God Bless you and all people surround you, in Jesus Christ Name.
may god bless you paul simon. thank you for these wonderful songs & lyrics.
This was always one of my favorite Paul Simon songs, but this has got to be the most soulful version I've ever heard. Maybe it's the perspective of age (for both of us, that is), or the uncluttered sound of a guitar and a voice singing true words. Thanks for putting this out there.
Love you, Paul Simon! 💕

Watching from California. Your voice is still the same... amazingly timeless.
I was 8 years old when this song came out... grew up on S & G... 62 is alright by me!!!!!!
This song still gets to me after all of these years.
The Dutch duo Nick and Simon made a documentary (2019) - they filmed in NY - following the footsteps of Simon&Garfunkel and performed amongst other songs this one in a few bars that Simon&Garfunkel also played. It’s a great watch and takes you back in time to days when songwriters didn’t need a whole bunch of musicians and electrical gadgets to make music that to this day is still superb!

In 1969 I was somewhere between Northeast Pa and Ft. Sill Oklahoma the weather was cold and damp, the bus stopped at a depot for a change of drivers and so that we could all eat at the diner in or near the bus station. After eating, waiting to re-board I was sitting there thinking about going home instead of going to Vietnam and Paul Simon's Homeward bound came on a radio near by. I though of family and friends I wondered if I would get home again, it was a sad feeling the song has stuck with me ever since. Paul Simon is a true artist capturing emotions and putting them music in way that very few people can. I love his guitar arrangements the notes and chords are signature Paul Simon. Thank you for this!
Thank you for blessing us with your legacy to humanity in the form of your music Mr. Simon.
One of my favourite songs

listen this song most every day on the radio in the bus in 80,90's
One of the all time greats. And one half of one of the all time greatest duos.
