Lyrics:
"Let us be lovers, we'll marry our fortunes together"
"I've got some real estate here in my bag"
So we bought a pack of cigarettes and Mrs. Wagner pies
And walked off to look for America
"Kathy," I said as we boarded a Greyhound in Pittsburgh
"Michigan seems like a dream to me now"
It took me four days to hitchhike from Saginaw
I've gone to look for America
Laughing on the bus
Playing games with the faces
She said the man in the gabardine suit was a spy
I said "Be careful his bowtie is really a camera"
"Toss me a cigarette, I think there's one in my raincoat"
"We smoked the last one an hour ago"
So I looked at the scenery, she read her magazine
And the moon rose over an open field
"Kathy, I'm lost," I said, though I knew she was sleeping
I'm empty and aching and I don't know why
Counting the cars on the New Jersey Turnpike
They've all come to look for America
All come to look for America
All come to look for America

"Kathy, I'm lost, I said though I knew she was sleeping. I'm empty and I'm aching and I don't know why." A concise
expression of melancholia.
That is my favorite lyric of all time.
Its a great lyric and it has come in my head at times in my life where i have really felt it in my soul.
I don't understand this lyric. Can someone please elaborate why it's a lot of people's favorite? I feel dumb 😶
@@staticpiece it's one of my favorite lyrics too but I can't explain it. It's like explaining why you like any song. You could say all kinds of good things about a song but ultimately the reason why you think a bunch of good things are true about a song is because you like it.
Gives me goosebumps. EVERY. SINGLE. TIME.
"So I looked at the scenery, she read her magazine
And the moon rose over an open field" To me this seems like one of the best lines ever used in a song.
Or sunrise in South Georgia USA
... I have squandered my resistance for a pocket full of mumbles, such are promises ... all lies and jests ... still a man hears what he wants to hear and disregards the rest ...
... and he carries the reminder of every glove that laid him down or cut, till he cried out, in his anger and his shame ...
... there were times when I was so lonesome I took some comfort there ...
I agree. You feel it. You experience it. You are riding along with them.
@@eddarby469 outstanding indeed
*Remember when the world looked like this?*
My heart breaks for the young people today. They have no idea how lovely it could be.
C est tout à fait vrai.
@@annielaffond6073 D'accord. And your France, sweet France, still exists? ❤️ "Douce France, cher pays de mon enfance, je vous aime dans mon coeur ... " Pardon me, my horrible French lingua franca , but I'm sure you've got the feeling. Salute, au revoir.
Paul Simon = Genius. Art Garfunkel = Voice for a Genius. Simon and Garfunkel = Best Double Act of All Time.
David Mitchell I think the right and true way to say it is this ..." Art Garfunkel is a genius in harmonization and has a voice who can only give life and so much soul to the song written by Paul Simon!" The singer and his brilliant voice is the only reason why a song is being greatly appreciated and loved by the hearing audience. No matter how great a song was being written if it's not sang by a singer who can truly give justice to the song (angelic, soulful voice that's so brilliant combined with great harmonization- on duet) it's nothing and it's not being well recognized or appreciated- it would never become a hit! It will just be a well written lyrics.
Jr Dier . Perhaps a certain Mr Bob Dylan would disagree that it needs a great singer with a brilliant voice to make a song a hit. He has written some of the most memorable, great songs ever and even with his less than beautiful voice have made these songs into never to be forgotten standards for our lifetime.
I still can't believe that this concert was 39 years ago- in 1981.
Somethings are timeless.
You don't need a music video to see this song play out before you.
I wish I had the financial means to make a video for this song in animated form, I love it deeply.
I was at this concert. It was in September, on my wedding anniversary. Art asked us if we were cold. Who cared, all our attention was on the music!
You can hear him ask if you were cold on one of the other songs from this concert; they're all on RUclips. I think it's The Boxer.
Just played this over and over and an unexpected hospital stay for covid. Otherworldly, hugely moving.. I was born in '61. My brother, 5 years ahead and leagues ahead in music, played everything downstairs... 'All Along the Watchtower.." Later the impossibly good rocking, famous as ever.. Skynyrd's 'Free Bird'... now I digress.
Something in "America landed as deep as a diving bell. We must keep searching.... and drown out the players and the losers and the fake political games..
Wherever you on, literally or figuratively, hop on that bus. We'll never know unless we try....!!
Oh j aurais tellement aimé assister à l un de leurs concerts ceka devait être magique
"How you doin', are you cold? God, you look great from here."
Vous avez beaucoup de chance....
J'aurais aimé être présent ce soir là.
"And the moon rose over an open field..."
Wow! Goosebumps.
Should be a Van Gogh painting.
The line "Kathy i'm lost, i said though i knew she was sleeping" always makes me cry and to this day i still don't know quite why.
Perhaps becuz we have all felt that way and our hearts identify so well💓
Because she wasn’t listening x
I’m from England and once travelled in a Jeep with work solo from Seattle, through Oregon down to the Californian coast to San Francisco. I was loving the coastal views along the way with sun kissed wild prehistoric looking beaches. Then this song came on the radio and it just made the trip so moving. When Guy Clarke came on the radio singing the Randall Knife I thought I was in some movie dream but it was reality. Such pure American road trip sounds. Magical. Timeless. A few years ago now, the world was a different optimistic place back then. Full of wonder.
My regards to the guys at the Russian River Brewing Company in Santa Rosa, if it still exists, fun bar and they thought I’d walked out of a spaceship when I started talking with my English accent. You can’t get any more American than that hang out.
Paul Simon the Shakespeare of songwriting. Deserves the Nobel Prize for literature and songwriting.
Here i go again, Jan 2021 still watching the greatest duo in music history.
You're not alone.
Nope
Here i go again, July 2021 still watching one of the greatest duo in music history.
@@patg2445 - me too
It's almost September,2021 and I'm still listening and loving it all.
Arguably Paul Simon's best song. The meaning is so much more than a trip across this country. It is a hunt for the true America--one that in these present days, is perhaps little more than a dream. But those of who understand what the true America really is will forever fight for a country that is a far cry from those who have little idea of what this country truly means.
Not sure of the political implication to your comment. I would say, though, that the rabid flag waivers as well as the vicious left wing cancel culture might both need some Mrs. Wagner pies.
I could not have said it better...it is so sad it hurts. So few understand what America was and I hope what it will be again.
America is hope and dreams, then you make it big and guess what?, America is lost again.
@@britturk123 Great Britain has the same problems, doesn't know what it is any more, it shone like a beacon for freedom and faith
Oh really? And there was me just thinking it was about a bus ride……..
2 voices that are made for each other.
*"I'm empty, and aching, and I don't know why..."*
I was there. Right below the camera tower at age 15. I became a real person at “Counting the cars on the New Jersey turnpike “. The crowd reaction was like an epiphany. I wasn’t alone.
The music collective. Read about how they changed frequencies to dissipate this feeling
@@day245 fucking hell, get outta your basement. It was a live concert. Changed frequencies to keep people from feeling communal? Get out of your head. JFC.
@@cogitoergosumo1793 No shit !
I was in Paris a few months later ☺
@@s.baumard8161 y
How their voices rise and fade together it’s perfection
If Bob Dylan got a Nobel prize
for literature, Paul Simon should get one for poetry.
and melody!!!!!
yesss….
Agree! Him & James Taylor wrote lovely songs & are sweet men. They would better represent us.
Howard Steier agreed. funny thing is this song is completely prose
I still think it's a little weird dylan won the nobel prize
1:57 That D/F#(I think) chord gets me every time. That one chord immediately transforms the song from a hopeful, carefree tune to a melancholic, bittersweet one and sets up my favorite verse ever written by Paul Simon.
Holy shit, good catch. That is absolutely where the song 'turns'.
I'm 18 years old, was born in 2001 and I absolutely love S&G.
My generation sadly doesn't have anything this amazing and barely anything good at all. Luckily we've got RUclips and Spotify today so we can listen to masterpieces of older generations though!
Marian. Check out Tame Impala. I'm a Progger (Yes, ELP, Rush) and he's amazing.
Bon Iver
Oh shut up
It’s interesting but I got into them at the same age, I just started college and was like 18-19, I think there’s something about them that speaks to that restlessness when you’re just starting your adult life, when everyone is telling you your life is ahead of you but you are not so sure what exactly that means and what to do with it yet. That’s why “the graduate” used their music, it’s also about the same thing. But I gotta say I am 41 now and still sometimes don’t know what the hell I am doing with my life :)
I am 60 and just intorduced S&G to my only son, 24 yrs old. I told him to watch the concert to while away the lonely hours of the quarantine. He works and live in Manila and i live in the northern part of the Phil....
“And the moon rose over an open field” brilliant
I also think these words are wonderful and poetic. Yes!!!
Paul Simon creates most poetic songs in the history of music... Genius
Garfunkel has the voice of an angel. Together they have a harmony that is other-worldly.
Nick cave
I agree and this song in one of the best.
@@alanrylands7004 This shear ''brilliance'' of this duo is something that will never be repeated. The very best there ever was, without any doubt.
@@howardjones8686 " "brilliance" "?
I kinda like the Garfunkel & Garfunkel album, "Break away" had some nice tunes on her. Plus, he did a fine job in the movie, "Catch 22" or was it Catch 22.746? Not sure.
One of THE BEST Simon & Garfunkel songs of all time.
Oh Yes!
I agree. The first time i heard this song i was in my early teens on an album from the group Yes
But it is far better with the origin3
i got to say Air supply is the best for me, paul and simon is up there for sure!
One of the best songs of all time
"I'm empty, and aching and I don't know why...."
This is an America I want to live in. Please turn the clock back 55 years!!
I was at this concert. It was the best concert I have ever been to and it was free.
😮😮😮
I will never stop loving New York. Never.

How fortunate you are to have lived this event... This live concert i can remember my dad had playing on a cassette player in his 505 Peugeot when I was 6, on a rainy day driving in Cape Town, South Africa. I never understood this music back then, it felt so lonely. Now I can't help becoming nostalgic when listening to it.
@@technologyinschoolswestern7142 Wow, even in Cape Town, South Africa. It was a great time. Everyone brought blankets, some brought wine or other booze as well as having weed wafting through the air. It was such a mellow and enjoyable concert. Everyone was polite and no fights at all. I am one of six siblings and I'm the second to youngest so when I was probably 6 or 7 I was listening to my eldest sisters play their records on the stereo. I think that was even before cassettes. I also become nostalgic when listening to it.
"And the moon rose over an open field". This line always gets me - guess it's just so evocative.
It's always affected me deeply. Such an evocation of emptiness. Gives me chills no matter how many times I hear it.
It really evoques the feeling of understanding your true promise of love and hope was really a promise of illusions which cannot be.
It Is incredibile how universal that line Is
Perhaps my favorite line in all of pop music
I also think these words are wonderful and poetic. Yes!!!
Kathy ," I am lost" is the most simply stated that my 67 years that humbled me . Thanks Paul .
1:55 Art really crosses his arms :D :D LOL
One of the most beautiful songs ever written.
So glad i was born before the glorious era of this duo who’s music continue to flourish during the years. Now in my mid60s, i’ll forever cherish them.
Agree 100%

Me too
As an Australian. One of my life goals is to go on a greyhound across America listening to this masterpiece. One day...
take me with you
I rode a Greyhound in 1997 from Washington, DC to Missoula, MT...and, as trite as it may seem...the journey was the most meaningful part of it all. I met interesting people all along the way. A young school teacher from Minnesota whose car had broken down. She was riding the Greyhound back home. A rancher from Ekalaka, MT who told me...look on the bus here...these are the real Americans...not the politicians in Washington. America is not Left or Right, Black or White. America is each one of us finding the best in ourselves and doing what we can, while we are alive, to make this place a better place. America is not The News, telling us what we feel...but ourselves, using our innate intelligence, to determine what WE feel. And acting according to the dictates of our individual consciences.
when you get to North Carolina, look me up and I'll buy you a beer
Had to take a Greydog from Chicago to Toledo once. Truly a horrible experience. If Hell exists it could be like the inside of that bus.
These days you will get robbed and assaulted. Try renting a car. Bus travel was once ok, now its how the very poor travel, and its not good.
This concert was performed when cable tv was a brand new thing in my area. I remember HBO played this concert over and over and I would watch it every chance I got as an 11 year old boy. As of 6 minutes ago, I just hit my 50th birthday and I am enjoying this concert yet again while the rest of my house sleeps. So beautiful! What a blessing! Long Live Simon and Garfunkel!
They were so good together! Sure wish I could sing like Art Garfunkel he was the best!
I'm fifty too, and i'm still listening from Italy
@@tommylevanto1226 Yep.....51 now for me. But I remember this night well. I had somewhat recently lost my mom and all the childhood memories were bitter-sweet at that moment. But mostly sweet!
make sure he hears this as he grows up
Happy birthday! Don’t worry, sixty is even better.
The planets aligned that night......been listening to this concert for 37 years now, I will never stop until my dying day.
Garfunkel in the Han Solo outfit...
Respect!
So here are two husbands of princess Leia
rumor has it he made the Kessel run in 12 parsecs
Late to the party as usual, but still had to post. Every now and then you encounter a song that is so beautiful, your breath gets caught in your throat and tears spring to your eyes. This song...THIS SONG ..does that to me. ..Simply Magnificent! I have no other words.
I love all genres of music but this is a serious masterpiece.
I love the '"Kathy", I said as we boarded a greyhound in Pittsburgh' as Art comes in so poignantly with the his high harmony. I have a lot of favorite lines in this song and this is definitely one of them. The start of that verse is so strong and powerful.
"Toss me a cigarette, I think there´s one in my raincoat" 😍
So meaningful today. Aren’t we all “looking for America?”
I’m 69 years old now, and I don’t, for a minute, regret that I was alive to live in the ‘60’s and ‘70’s and be a witness to the birth of a new and more enlightened America. In fact, I truly feel sorry for today’s generation, which is seeing us, courtesy of Trumputz and his ignorant ilk, backslide into a new Dark Ages.
I felt that.
Touche - with you Mr Halpern
Try Grace Vanderwaal. She hits me as hard as any music ever!
Agree....
Hi Ron.
I hear ya man. Well we tried to bring in an age of enlightenment, but greed and hate are strong emotions. Now all I do is vote for peace and dust off the old Lp's. Kick back with my best girl and pop some wine & munch on some of her special Brownie's.
Thanks. ; )
I think Paul Simon looked his very best at this particular time of his life! He looked great, and they were both in fabulous voice this night! 😀
With you all the way on that one, Gorgeous😍♥️
Paul Simon might actually be the greatest song writer
Marian N He has my vote.
Paul, Have you never see that you ARE the existence of Simon and Garfunkel. Ok he's a great voice. You ARE the lead of two. Without you, he can't sing!!!!!
Every once in a while I"m glad I'm old.
I hear you, man.
Hilarious!!! And very true, all of us who are over 55 and beyond revel in the music of our generation just like our grandparents did, and we feel sorry for the younger generations and what they missed. We avoid the horrible so called "music" we hear against our will way too often. Eeeeesshhh...but we're grateful & happy for the "real" music we love. We're turning into our grandparents, and that's a good thing!!!
yes, darling we have our moments
.....exactly!
As a 16 year old person this band has really opened my eyes to real good music. People talk about the high point of music and i would argue without a doubt that this would have been the time to alive. My dad tells me stories of this concert because he was their and it is something of a dream for someone like me who is relatively new to this kind of music. (about three years)
Paul Simon is a musical genius
Wow from an 8 year old in Vancouver BC
This concert is so significant in American music history. Nobody writes or harmonizes like Simon and Garfunkel
Everly Brothers, Bee Gees, CSN& Y were all amazing at harmony
Oh dear sweet Paul, I’ll be road tripping next week from Chicago to NYC to see your final farewell concert... ❤️
encapsulates the 60s "I'm empty and aching and I don't know why". Cinematic. You can imagine yourself on the bus in America's glory days of the 60s. Lots of 60s peeps in the crowd with their kids. Magical moment in time
Sound of Silence is the greatest song ever written, this is a close second
Brother Ricky and I made it to the concert in Central Park. A great memory of quality time spent with my late, great baby brother. Thank you Paul and Art.
Just imagine, if those "in charge" of guiding the nation, not only in the Usa, but all over the world, had the spirit, art, capacity, generosity, sense and purpose, and even the pure heart and harmony, the perfect simplicity these two have here in making music together...., where would the human world ( society) be. It would be a much better, safer, and more beautiful place to live in
Ma veramente non si sopportavano più già quella sera. Per essere onesti. E se guardi bene, si nota benissimo. 🤔
The USA gifted us crap like rap and hip hop but then you listen to songs like this which stir your soul and is a timeless piece of musical poetry, a simple tune with beautiful vocals and utter genius. Thanks USA.
The older I get the more I appreciate their music thank God my father still has his vinyl collection
I was at that concert with a whole bunch of my friends. We took the bus up from the Village. I remember it like it was yesterday.
I was blessed to have been at this concert in Central Park! My older cousin who lived in Manhattan took me. I went on a train from Fairfield Connecticut to meet her. Such a wonderful memory. We lost her recently to covid 19.
So sorry to hear that.😧
They are so in sync it's almost like they never stopped singing together. Beautiful and amazing.
Years ago I had recently divorced after 28 years, and found myself odds with what might be next. I gave myself the time to fill a long held dream and rode my bike across the country. This song was the soundtrack in my head the whole way. I can’t hear it without thinking of the America I saw. I finished the ride and knew exactly what to do next. The ride, and this song, were transformative.
Hope u are ok now>>divorce must be hard
this might be the best thing i've ever seen in my life. honestly.
Daniel Cropp h
Oh AMERICA USA...god i love you and all people..visited several times from Australia..and you are our best mates, even at the airport through immigration!! Im thinking of you all through this covid 19! I support the protests happening!! Let me tell ya, if the support system that we have in place in aussie land, wasnt happening, we wud c a few! I love and respect your patroitism and support for your people. No matter what happens with covid.. your patriotism needs to be acknowledged and i truely admire that of your country, we could do with a little of that here in Australia beleive it or not!! God bless you AMERICA!!!! Xxx. I STAND WITH YOU X
Jacqui Tyack Aussies are ❤️
Here in 2022, this song takes on new meaning... we've lost America and we're all looking for her again! (At least some of us are... the rest are trying to maim and bury her.)
No phones in the crowd, so great. People just listened to the music.
It was 1981 after all
Maybe his point is unlike today songs are just for temporary, not like this one that last until now.
What is the boomer obsession with cell
Phones lol. I swear you guys are more obsessed with them then the Gen Z’ers. Let the kids live how they want. Every generation thinks theirs was the last “right” generation. Damn.
I get it, Eli. Not sure the others here do.
Eli, so true. Cell phones are useful for sure but at a concert. Just ruins it in my opinion, ( I went to all my concerts pre-cellphone era) but then I am a million years old 😜😁
I found now !
the word America means ourselves.
I am not an American. But this song for world young people.
Always yearned to jump on a bus and travel to unknown destinations. This is the perfect road song.
Yes indeed! Britain had the other Paul; we had OUR Paul. Both....songwriters of surpassing skill. I was lucky enough to grow up with both.
Simon could write some great lyrics
I will always play this song when I drive down New Jersey Turnpike. Never thought this song from 50 years ago would make me feel that way.
It is a timeless song that pulls atour heart strings. We see ourselves in the song ♥️
They had a way of articulating intangible moods and emotions. With this song in particular the melody fits the lyrics so perfectly that the emotions and visual images are felt and seen vividly, like watching a movie that you are a part of. You smell the cigarette smoke, you feel Kathy sleeping on your shoulder while you look out at the window at the passing scenery. Paul Simon even uses literary devices to enrich the lyrics, like his use of assonance in "The moon rose over the open hill." The combination of Paul's evocative lyrics, Art's angelic voice, and their beautiful harmony are what made them the dream team they were back in the '60s.
Before I die I want to know New York especially Central Park. Sorry, my english is not the best. I met Simon and Garfunkel in the 80's. I love
Watching this today after seeing a documentary about it being Art’s 80th. Beautiful lyrics and sounds. One of the best partnerships in musical history.
Got to agree their brilliant.
i've yet to find a live performance by any group that sounds as good as this historic set.
The Last Waltz and Stop Making Sense are pretty darn good. Vocally no one in either of those groups is as good as these two but the music is certainly on par.
The seekers at the Sydney mayer music bowl is really good too
Does it get any better. My god how blessed were our generation.
I hitch-hiked across America in 1975. I learned to love Ohio, Flyover country, the western desert, and Pacific Coast Highway. Ended up in Haight-Ashbury. And turned myself in at a navy recruiter's office. I got a 30 days restriction, half a month's pay docked, and a transfer to a really good ship. Totally worth it!
How can ANYONE give this a thumb's down?? It was wonderful!!! Beautifully performed. Great lyrics, singing.. Their's was a match made in Heaven!! Performing live & sounding superb!!
A troll's gotta troll
how can ANYONE have a different opinion from me??
Because their are democrats still around and hunting for votes.
A very beautiful song. "And the moon rose over an open field... counting the cars on the New Jersey Turnpike they've all come to look for America".
Art Garfunkle is an amazing singer. Paul Simon got all the attention.
"Kathy, I said as we boarded a Greyhound in Pittsburgh, Michigan seems like a dream to me now". Insanely great harmonizing by Garfunkel here. Even superior to the Beatles or the Beach Boys at their peak.
Poetry in music and truth. Love
Man... Simon and Garfunkel came out with some exceptional songs. This song is in my top 5 favorite S & G songs. They were truly the voice of their generation and the generations from there onward
They certainly were! I listen to their music all the time.
up there with Dylan's genius American musical poetry !
I was 16 at high school in Johannesburg South Africa when I first heard this song. I've been a fan ever since.
Michael McLoughlin
This song &that concert were spellbinding.When Paul Simon had the
free concert with The Graceland band in Central park it was even better, I'll never forget it
According to the 1982 album booklet, this concert brought 500,000 people to Central Park in a single performance and has not been forgotten until today.
Songwriting simply doesn't get any better than this
Love you so much Paul and Art 🎭
The backing musicians at this concert are sensational!
Spotted Pete Carr seated just behind Paul. Carr is a great studio musician from Muscle Shoals, Alabama and one half of the group Lablanc and Carr.
Jackson and Gadd are definitely not backing.. 😉
@@Karmakatt6 don't forget Pat Metheny. If you didn't see him almost impossible to tell by his playing. His versatility never ceases to amaze
@@dakine575756 Pat Metheny was playing here?
@@kalmia01. He was not,I my self always thought the same Even by playing but it was David Brown,he Played with Billy Joel 😊
Heard this on a news radio station as the 4th of July get-a-way was underway. Does my heart good just to hear it again. Counting the cars on the NJ Turnpike....they've all come to look for America......EPIC
Carole Werda 9th
They performed with their heart and soul and regarding themes that were pure and meaningful. My God, what has happened to our country and to the music that was once performed with meaning and by real artists?
corporations
I know, you go back and hear something like this and realize how far the quality of popular music has dropped
500 thousand people and no crowd surging. Just peace and love and some of the most beautiful music you have ever heard. Todays generation listen to what is truly talented unforgettable…
As a 20 year old today who absolutely adores these two, words cannot express the yearning in my heart to go back in time and be able to see this concert in person
In the mean time...you have U-Toob. Not as good....but not bad........
@@davidowens5898 it certainly is better than nothing
I was there and this concert will never be forgotten!
September 1981 Central Park, NYC
"....and the moon rose over an open field..."
Just...............wow.
My God seriously together they were magic! Being there was the icing on the cake 😉🤙😎
I live in Japan and after the 2011 tsunami with all the death, destruction and radiation, I was obsessed with the news and wasn't in the mood to listen to music for about three weeks. When I finally got my iPod out and hit random mode, the first song that came on was this version of this song. It was one of the most beautiful things I had ever heard.
I never new that two voices and a guitar could be so good!!!
Paul Simon is Perfect 🙏❤️🙏
My favorite Simon and Garfunkel song out of so many. It makes me feel nostalgic like something I did in my past even though I didn't.
Their songs are so much of the fabric of America.
Not sure if it’s just me but this sounds more like a lament of America than a tribute
Likewise. My spine tingles.
@@petere6162 Can't you feel both? I can.
Hey I’m not even American , never traveled on a Greyhound but I feel a profound sense of sadness and nostalgia when I hear this beautiful song … I don’t know why
the song is the experience of every teenager that came of age in America in the 1960s
you got your license and your first car
and went off with a friend or lover on the Great American Road Trip
thinking you will find or discover something .... experience something.... you dont know what
not understanding the seeking and the journey is the thing
Another Pearl by the most loved Duo in the world 🌍😂
Their voices just blend together so well. I never get tired of listening to Simon and Garfunkel.
+Judy Kramer Garfunkel does an amazing job at harmonizing so sweetly
Me too and for some reason I can be doing the most ordinary thing like walking my dogs and this particular song will be (pleasantly) stuck in my head
classic mixes
It's just "sublime"!!! Their voices go very well together effectivly. Il am never tired listening them since 40 years!!!!!!!!
Bad english, no?
This performance perfectly captures the musical dynamic of Simon and Garfunkel as greater than just Paul Simon's songbook. Art's parts and presence turn a beautiful composition into an epic hymn with its place deep into America's songbook, with a grandiose but simple brilliance that set them apart from all other folk duos in history.
You couldn't have said it better, that's their magic
This is heaven this is America
I am crying..bless all in 2021
If these guys were the jesters of the 60s and 70s, who were there kings??
I keep coming back to this one. Feels so nostalgic.
Me Too, THIS and now at age 67, BookEnds does ot for me also ♥️
