@CampbellsShutup It's "lie-la-lie". Simon stated that this was originally intended only as a placeholder, but became part of the finished song.
"I didn't have any words! Then people said it was 'lie' but I didn't really mean that. That it was a lie. But, it's not a failure of songwriting, because people like that and they put enough meaning into it, and the rest of the song has enough power and emotion, I guess, to make it go, so it's all right"
I've always loved this song, but has anyone ever noticed in some parts it has like a vibration in the speakers? I've heard it many different ways and it's always there.
back in the 60's i think sometimes that paul's music and lyrics saved my life,,i couldn't kill myself without thinking what would i miss in his next album,,i had nothing else to hang on to,,now i can listen to there music with happiness,,
On a college radio station in the 80's, I played this song followed by nine covers, introducing each new cover with "and now for something completely different..." It was my protest against tinkle down economics. Occupy may be driven from the parks, "but the fighter still remains."
@bugibbab0y No. The solo is played by a pedal steel guitar doubled with a piccolo trumpet, although a theremin is usually used to accompany a slide guitar in concert. A Moog synth is said to be used towards the end of the song, with the repeating chorus However, The Doors used a Moog on 'Strange Days' released 2 years prior to this, in 1967. The Monkees (of all people) used a Moog on a release the same year. Peace:-)
When I was 17 I was homeless for a while, I had a stepfather and he saw my father in my eyes and those of you who have had a stepfather know exactly what I'm talking about. I slept in railway stations sometimes and so the first verse of this song just kills it for me. It's painfully apt, but in a good way. Great tune.

Looking at some of these idiotic/moronic responses, it's too glaringly obvious or should I say painfully obvious to ignore. American students these days can't even be called "educated idiots" any more!! Not only that, but it even would make "illiterates" a compliment instead of condemnation. What has happened to us?? We've become "dumbed down" past the point of no return, that's what. "Higher education?" Come on now, give me a break and cut the total BS.
chyba najlepsza ich kompozycja i genialne wykonanie. Tyle już lat i ciągle Boxer tchnie świeżościąn nie poddaje sie modom, kierunkom i prądom. Myślę, że Boxer, obok Yerstedey Beatlesów i The Wall Pink Floydów to absolutna doskonałość, dzieła wszechczasów.
@MillerSampa Eles nao estao cantando isso "lie lie lie" pra dizer mentiras, eh soh um som que eles estao a fazer tipo 'Lie la lie la la la la lie', entende?
@marckellyv1 I was talking to you you moron. Go saying stupid idiotic things on an open forum and expect a reply. And don't go crying to you tube again you pussy.
I wonder why this place seems to attract more than it's fair share of, deluded, nasty moronic, tasteless idiots. If you recognise yourself, don't bother responding. I'd just as soon tread in dog shit than mince words with some of the idiots on here.
@marckellyv1 Go home then. Don't come here if you don't care. You seem to contradict yourself by your very presence or response. Deluded as you are, I despise people like you trotting out that ridiculous self-defeating crap. You're a joke and don't even know it.
@marckellyv1 Why read my comment and make a comment yourself if you do not care? I was making a comment about a song. You need to get over it and move on. You are a jerk!! I can't stand people like you..trolling you tube to make rude and insenitive comments. I'm done with you..
@marckellyv1 What a rude comment. You don't agree or like my comment, fine. Maybe you can express yourself with out being so insulting. I was trying to explain the emotion that I feel when I listen to this song. I do believe sir, that you are the sad and lonely one.
This is one of the truest and deepest songs that is so generally American (or just human), I'm surprised this song wasn't the one called America. I imagine Ellis Island, people coming into the country from wherever they happened to be born. They're so determined to make it here, someplace better, that when a man who is leaving is telling him of the hardships he's faced, they scream out, "Lie... lie!" But he says in the beginning that they wouldn't believe him.
Simon and Garfunkel were one of my favorite two yesterday. The music they sing about a boxer and poor,sounds alot of some of I induerd when the time I spend growing up in the streets along time ago. I like the lyrics and guitar in this video.
Lost my Dad this year 2011, can still see him now singing to these great songs by Simon & Garfunkel...........Dad your Granson now has an album by them!! you would be so proud of him......miss you so much your Son David xxxx
Lost my Dad this year 2011, can still see him now singing to these great songs by Simon & Garfunkel...........Dad your Granson now has an album by them!! you would be so proud of him......miss you so much your Son xxxx
@DUCATEA I am so sorry for you.. I really hope that listening to the songs he loved so much makes you feel a little better. He will always stay alive in your heart and I am sure he would be so proud of you..!! Your comment is so sweet, tears in my eyes.. Big hug and lots of love from Holland
@DUCATEA Thank YOU!! I hope you have a year without loss or pain in 2012, lots off luck and dont forget to listen to the music when you are feeling sad. For me it works.. ;-)
It makes me feel good/better, it made your Dad feel better, would be great if it works the same way for you. If I see the thumbs up I guess there are more people who agree on this!!! Wish you a lot happy moments when you think back off all the memories you share with your Dad, though he's somewhere else now.. X
What I think is pretty beautiful about that is that many people won't be listening to this, not because they don't want to, but they'll probably have passed on. Including Paul Simon and Garfunkel. Thats crazy. Ill be 62 :-P, i've been listenign to this since i was born, my dad used to play it for me. The boxer will always remain!!
@Hategrin Lifestyles of the rich and famous is a good charlotte tune, which I agree is brutal, as is the band. Earlier sum 41 was half decent though and that's coming from a classics lover and a musician. Check out the album "does this look infected", its raw and the guitar playing is pretty solid as far as 90's bands go. Its worlds away from Simon and Garfunkel but worth a listen!
@rapturerock Don't think the 60s were all that great, my teacher grew up during the time and he remembers tons of riots, violence, and blacks being hosed down.
@rapturerock we always look at the past and say WOW thats great music ,todays music is terrible compared to them but dont forget what you hear is basicaly the cherrypicked awesome music, back then and now there was sht music and good music its harder to find good music thsedays cause we have to go through the effort of finding it ourselfs
Hmmm. Well, the "cream rises to the top..." as they say. Back in the day, good music was picked by the people. They heard it and said, "wow... good music..." and it became a hit. Now, everything is manufactured for you. THEY tell you what you think and what you will like, you agree with them. There was no "cherrypicking", there was just great music... now you have suck. ENJOY!
@Paganguy1 now i have suck ? wtf does that mean lol and i dont limit myself with music if its good i listen to it wether its manufactored ,new,old or whatever
HAHAHA! Yes. Now you have suck. Relax, that was a great smile! It's not your fault, it's just your turn. Good luck! I hope you do great things with your life, things I can NOT do as I am pushing 50, (up-hill!).
@Paganguy1 lol only difference between me and you is that i havent shut the door on new musics so i can enjoy them all equaly , youre a little too arrogant about it i think it has to do with your age which you have mentioned a couple of times now on this page the saying you cant teach an old dog new tricks comes to mind but as we both enjoy the ong on this page im happy to just appreciate it with you then part ways afterwards :) nice meeting you goodbye
@zxcthethird Good grief - go back to school already!! YOU can't even write a sentence, or spell a common English word properly. "Sht music," "thsedays," and worst of all - "ourselfs??" What is wrong with you?? Did you even graduate from elementary school, because you write (and therefore think or prove to the whole fucking world, at least) and sound like a total idiot. "Sht" is spelled "shit," thsedays" is your trash/gutter slang for "these days," and it is "ourselves."
@SomberGoods19 Sure there is, you just dont know of it. Yes there is plenty of crap around too but there is the odd diamond in the rough. You may like Grace is Gone by Dave Mathews , give it a wirl.
I used to hear this song together with my boyfriend back to the year 1970/71 at the hot nights of Rio de Janeiro with the breezing of the fresh air . I simply loved it and to this date still feel the thrill of this song......I love all the songs of Simon & Garfunkel but this one is simply great! I could not understand the words but the harmony/melody was deeply touching!!!!!
@GirlFromIpanema1966 It's not about that. I could sing that song but it would sound like a goat pissing on a sheet of tin (we use this in Czech rep.). If Justin B. would sing this song it may sound little bit better then me, but it would be just empty words becouse he dosn't know what are they singing about. If he did, he wouldn't turn into such a horrible creature.
I am leaving, I am leaving, but the fighter still remains...Those lyrics have always brough tears to me eyes, even as a child I remember crying at those words. I feel his pain. Simon and Garfunkel are true story tellers.
When a song can make you happy its a good song!

@Paganguy1 lol only difference between me and you is that i havent shut the door on new musics so i can enjoy them all equaly , youre a little too arrogant about it i think it has to do with your age which you have mentioned a couple of times now on this page the saying you cant teach an old dog new tricks comes to mind but as we both enjoy the ong on this page im happy to just appreciate it with you then part ways afterwards :) nice meeting you goodbye

@zxcthethird Good grief - go back to school already!! YOU can't even write a sentence, or spell a common English word properly. "Sht music," "thsedays," and worst of all - "ourselfs??" What is wrong with you?? Did you even graduate from elementary school, because you write (and therefore think or prove to the whole fucking world, at least) and sound like a total idiot. "Sht" is spelled "shit," thsedays" is your trash/gutter slang for "these days," and it is "ourselves."

I used to hear this song together with my boyfriend back to the year 1970/71 at the hot nights of Rio de Janeiro with the breezing of the fresh air . I simply loved it and to this date still feel the thrill of this song......I love all the songs of Simon & Garfunkel but this one is simply great! I could not understand the words but the harmony/melody was deeply touching!!!!!

Justin Bieber could easily sing this song ( The Boxer ).
GirlFromIpanema1966 3 months ago
@GirlFromIpanema1966 It's not about that. I could sing that song but it would sound like a goat pissing on a sheet of tin (we use this in Czech rep.). If Justin B. would sing this song it may sound little bit better then me, but it would be just empty words becouse he dosn't know what are they singing about. If he did, he wouldn't turn into such a horrible creature.

I am leaving, I am leaving, but the fighter still remains...Those lyrics have always brough tears to me eyes, even as a child I remember crying at those words. I feel his pain. Simon and Garfunkel are true story tellers.
