Simon & Garfunkel Live 2009 - "Kathy's Song"

[kiwinavega]

And the song I was writing was left undone... I don't know why I spend my time writing songs I can't believe... with words that tear and strain to rhyme...

Beautiful. Wonderful. Gorgeous.

[CliffordTClopp]

In the 70'[s I was in love with June, a farmers daughter, and as loved her so much I would try to write letters and poetry for her whist listening to S & G, and told her that this song epitomised all I wanted to say to her, and it became our song 'with words that strained and failed to rhymn'. Now middle aged I still find a great solace in this song and think to myself 'What a silly simple bastard that I was. Still think of June. Where are you?

they will be 70 this year...

Art speaks and looks like a dentist.. and i do love this stuff, to a tear I do, I weep for our childrens generation who have been assaulted with endless heartless filth. Soul , has survived darker ages... or has there been?

[Catlovertea4]

I would've never believed it, but I see they've only gotten better. More years of understanding true love.

the recurrent coughing is a product of delicious pot-smoking, i'm sure!

[KatiBerlinben]

the best! *****

Song writers are our modern day poets; their songs the poems of our generation.

[AnttiM95]

i cant believe someone coughed during this

[connopv]

I found myself clapping along with the audience at the end of that song. Great version of a great song.

[temporarydive]

His voice is so beautiful, almost brings me to tears.

[kaattz]

One of the most beautiful songs ever and Art Garfunkel's voice just so soothing :-)

loved it !

[Ghostorchid2]

@kaattz It most certainly is beautiful..Takes me far-away..

Thanks for a lovely share..Susie.

[davekm43]

@kaattz Love this song

[wildpianoman16]

This version of the song is so beautiful. Art's voice fills my heart and soul. It has even inspired a poem that I'm writing--and another one probably left undone. I wish I can have someone with a voice as grand as Art's be priveleged to sing one of my songs. That's been a dream of mine for some time anyway.

[winterweib]

Don't laugh... I had this song in my head all time when I was fifteen and in love with Paul Simon. Till today I am not ashamed for it. I feel I could still love him. :)

[thedeadbeats]

wow this is awesome

[twonfromm]

One of my personal favorites from the other side of the 60's...damn they wrote good music!

[vampyros1]

Thank you for the pop-up telling us when the song begins.

[goonernick]

"And so you see I have come to doubt all that I once held was true. I stand alone without beliefs, the only truth I know is you."

Pure gold.

[dylan7179]

"my mind's distracted and diffused.... my thoughts r many miles away... they lie with u when yr asleep... and kiss u when u start yr day" um is it me or is that the most romantic line ever written....? :)

[temporarydive]

@dylan7179 In deed. Not just you;)

"I don't know why spend my time writing songs I can't believe."

[njpammy]

Beautiful song, will always be one of my favorites.

[TheFlimflim]

This is one of the most beautiful lovesongs ever written, but this performance is far too slow.

[butterandcrane]

@TheFlimflim

Hey, maybe you're listening too fast . . . I don't think it's not much slower than the original, though here and there it seems that Art slows it down when he holds certain notes a bit longer than he used to . . . Great song, one of my favourites . . reminds me of Don McLean's Crossroads from the same era . . . and also of a bunch of early Lightfoot songs . . .

[cefishb]

i spent my childhood listening to my folks records of theirs. this brings tears to my eyes. watch the Concert in Central Park it is a fabulous performance.

[pinnecco]

Is these really Paul Simon WITH Garfunkel?

[koinanak]

Art got a hard time hitting the notes.... Still good though!

[waji4563]

I just came back from their concert in Tokyo. That was amazing and they kick off their show with Kathy's Song. My mother loved their music so I grew up with listening their songs. Their great songs reminds me a lot of good memories with mother.

[teggymiley78]

What a great concert and yes this is Kathys Song my very favorite

[StefanOlson]

As others have pointed out, this is actually Kathy's song. Do you have any more videos, especially from Arts's solo set?

[toastrack]

Thanks for the correction - fixed the song title now.

Sorry no other videos from me. Pity, Bright Eyes was amazing. Heard he dedicated to MJ in the following day's concert.
