Kathy's Song

[rebelspur]

heartbreakingly beautiful

[crockermud]

I saw this live in Madison in 1967 with my future wife and another couple who have been our best life long "old friends". It was Paul and Art and Paul's guitar on stage. Thousands there. Never forgot this one.

[WileyPossum]

Love it!

[imdanhoover]

[WileyPossum]

Not intentionally... It just showed up on my recommended list.

[imdanhoover]

[tracyhide]

My favorite song from my favorite songwriter--gorgeous!

[FarodinDevanthar]

i love this song so much! the guitarplay and the voice sound so great together. i learnd this song to play and sing and it feels so good to perform it! a masterpiece (:

[sportspenguin]

This isn't just one of Paul Simon's best songs; it's--especially lyrically--one of the finest songs ever written.

[spiritof70]

I´m crying... This song is my "mind soundtrack" and leave me back at the end of 2000. My dear uncle has died and I was far away from him. He still lives in my soul. Thank you for post. Thank you.

[alexalchi]

what else to say...

share love and imagine...

[TJM4WEATHER]

this song is absolutely beautiful!

[DesigningWoman1975]

I hear the drizzle of the rain like a memory it falls, soft and warm continuing, tapping on my roof and walls.

And from the shelter of my mind through the window of my eyes, I gaze beyond the rain-drenched streets to England where my heart lies.

My mind's distracted and diffused, my thoughts are many miles away. They lie with you when you're asleep and kiss you when you start the day.

And a song I was writing is left undone. I don't know why I spend my time writing songs

[DesigningWoman1975]

I can't believe with words that tear and strain to rhyme.

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

And as I watch the drops of rain weave their weary paths and die, I know that I am like the rain; there but for the grace of you go I.

Such beautiful lyrics, like the thoughts of angels.

[almirCCR]

The only truth I know is you

[1ring2rule3pigs]

I saw them in LA for the reunion tour like 4 years ago. Went with my mom, $600 total for 2 crappy seats.....it was worth every single penny and I'd love to do it again.

[nipperisboss]

[Jimpsterz]

[amyfullerhere]

[Dyln19]

[JustinKelsey]

"there but for the grace of YOU go I"

is such a great lyric! from the saying

"there but for the grace of GOD go I."

it really just shows how much she means to him! This song just warms my heart and my spirit. Wonderful! :)

[apidgen]

imagesunlimiteduk..noticed you didn't sing the song..only picked it..so please try not to get too frustrated! Art had a tone quality that really captured colours...and feelings. He still has that quality even as an older man..that is class! Nice harmonics for the drops of rain!

[bestknitter83]

indeed... wow

[ibelivein3]

I love this song!

[Rosabella63]

This is the seventh day that I have been listening to this video. I am still so very much hooked to it. It's just soooo darned good!Unbeatable! Perfection!

[theK0OKS]

*speechless*

This song needs no words.

It needs a world behind closed eyes, where soft humms sway on silent notes!

(yes yes, I can be poetic)

[Rosabella63]

Art really sang it with so much feelings that it came out even more beautiful than ever.

[thedrank]

I saw Art Garfunkel do this last Thursday at a concert in Birmingham, UK. the night stood still and it was complete magic.

[faustus999]

wish i could of seen arty that night. he and paul are my favourite artists. no one compares.

[Rosabella63]

Just awesome with a capital A -- voice, lyrics -- everything's so perfectly beautiful!

[givsum]

tears, love, brilliance!

[RBAILEY57]

I was fortunate enough to see Art Garfunkel perform this song live, S&G are eternal!

[analogdesigner]

This is an example of synergy, 1+1=10. Superb!

[KatiBerlinben]

what a voice!

what a song!

5***** :)

[fljuskus]

Art is a performer, just brilliant. S&G - the greatest ever.

[chadisawesomeness]

[tinakover]

Oh, Artie...

[jagpost]

Really Beautiful!!!

[basocelular]

What a song!.So tender.

Thank you for the video

[peculiarcris]

About the concert of 9 July 2008

Paul Simon, it is within the framework of Simon & Garfunkel miracle, vocal permanent, that he has reached these summits. This must be hard, sometimes, to have affected the legend and to have chosen to be more then « that » an excellent songwriter...

swissinfo, Bernard Léchot à Montreux

[celtenator]

Great Video, thanks!

[orliecerdina]

i just love this song ,my favorite simon and garfunkel it's a magic tandem..........

[KatiBerlinben]

so beautiful... :)

"There before the grace of you go I"

It doesnt get much better than shakespearish language in a song

[AllyWheels]

"There, but for the grace of you, go I"

[zodom1]

"I gaze beyond the rain-drenched streets

To England where my heart lies"

I've always loved that verse. Wonderful song!

[ladySEGOVIA]

BRAVO!!!

[lordrandall1916]

what year was that video?

[bearpaw92]

it was in the 2000's... if i remember corectally, 2006.

[saganini]

Their Old Friends Tour was in 2003-2004.

I saw them in Oslo,Norway in the summer of 2004. A moment i had been waiting for (but never thought would happen),since the first time i watched their Central Park Concert on TV, back in the early 1980ies.

[bearpaw92]

oops... i was close... heh heh

[yesdedhed]

Kathy K. hello John Christopher 1974 Atl. Ga.

[alexdivine77]

my favorite too,  always make me tear.

[rapcrap187]

The one song I can't sing because I'll choke up every time

[tryfan69]

one of the 1st songs i learnt to play ........... still puts a lump in my throat

[smappies]

Amazing ! Absolutely beautiful!

[moodyblue1964]

This song is pure spiritualality.

He wrote some amazing things that touch your soul none more so than this song. Art's voice is as smooth as silk and i had the pleasure of hearing this as i listened in awe last year in London.

Beautiful !

[undergroundkween]

I never ever tire of this footage. I love this song... and I truly respect them as artists....

[kevinkillen]

"My mind's distracted & diffused, my thoughts are many miles away. They lie with you when you're asleep & kiss you when you start your day."

[stormilha]

who is the guitar player?

[2dannyc89]

PAUL SIMON, the writer of the song, and the SIMON of SIMON and Garfunkel.

[xxitsmeduhxx]

love the song, but he talks WAYYYYYYY too much in th beginning. SHUTTUP AND SING!!!!!!!!

[PFjunkie]

fuck you

[snowpatroler99]

I saw Art sing this at the MSN arena, Manchester a few years ago on the Old Friends tour... I've never heard a more perfect vocal... the whole audience was spellbound. It really was one of those moments when time stood still.

[GraemeMDBSc]

I didnt think they would have done this one on this tour...

[JigoroKano]

Great song and video...But I'd like to see the version in which Paul Simon sings it alone (and younger)

Do you have it?
