What a lovely video - thank you debwal. To all the good people out there which has lost someone they loved - you are not alone - we are thinking of you and shares your loss. Take care everybody and have a great live.
@norrmac1 I'm sure they are, pal. Someday you will all be reunited, but hopefully not for a very long time. My mother died when I was 19 at the age of 41, just 2 weeks her 41st birthday. My aunt (her sister) died at the age of 37. If I inherited traits from my mother (I did) then it won't be long before I'm reunited with her. I'm 27 now.
@jackslater230011 thanks for your thoughts. i am sorry for your loss, it is really sad to lose ones mother at such a young age., do not lose hope for yourself. i work for an ems service and today we took a patient to have a kidney transplant. the nurse said he would be out of the hospital in 5 days. kidney disease is what killed my grandmother. they are making amazing progress in all areas. i pray that you get to live my father's wish,which was to live to be 99 and shot by a jealous husband
@Waszma This song doesn't just remind of my mom, it also reminds of my dad. It's this type of music he grew up listening to. I'm 27 and I listen to music from the 40's, 50's and 60's as ell as the newer rock'n'roll. Nothing makes me happier than listening to music.
@Waszma Were born, we live, and we die. It's the natural process of life. She's alive in my heart and waiting for me in heaven and someday we will be reunited, but hopefully not for a long, long time. She died Oct. 15th, 2003. Two weeks after her 41st birthday. Your Mother is waiting for you too, man. Nobody saw it coming. The song itself was inspired by the death of the family dog and trying to explain death to his children. He just took the name from a chinese menu.
@EmmaMBBify Apparently, the rumor that he got the title from a Chinese menu is true. The song itself was inspired by the death of the family dog and trying to explain death to his children.
@jackslater230011 I hear you man, me too. I see that EmmaMBBify referenced the chinese dish story. I think the song was inspired or prompted by that, but being ambiguous has it's real meaning in the reunion you hope for. I'd like to think she is still alive and waiting for you.
my father on his deathbed said he saw his mother on the other side of the river. he was 89 his mother died when he was 4. i pray that they are reunited after all these years.
@EmmaMBBify - I don't wanna look it up on Snopes. This lil' slide show has my own simplistic interpretation, and I like it. But thanks for watching and commenting.
@EmmaMBBify Yes, and some people claim it's written about a dead dog. But it's a beautiful, multi-facetted song, and a very mysterious one, and it means to each of us what we want it to mean. debwal's video expresses what it means to her, and it's a touching video almost as beautiful as the song itself.
Just because he got the phrase "Mother and child reunion" from a menu doesn't mean that is what the song is about. Paul may have meant it about his dog when he wrote it, but the meaning of a song is determined by the listener. When a song is able to resonate with people, it's a good song. Stop making stupid comments that every song is about drugs or some stupid crap because it's probably not true, and even if, it just doesn't matter.
@81meganmarie - Didn't give it much thought when I made this little slide show. I love animals & I like this tune. (Been kind of surprised by the amount of commentary about Paul Simon's meaning here).
@debwal The video is lovely and I thank you for making it. I sought this song out on a strange and mournful day when I went from joking with a friend about her pregnancy to comforting her about it's end. It's rare to find a piece of art that can be comforting in a situation such as that. I just don't see why so many snotty know-it-alls want to take away meaning from what others find poignant. This applies to so many things these days. It's very sad.
Its also about reincarnation. Lifeime..s over and over again. By general creed all of Mother Earth, including humanity, is reincarnated. Contrary to being 'in sin'. Loved the video too. Thans for sharing!
My appologies. I didn't mean to disrespect. Actually, I very much liked the video you put together. I've watched it several times, and thank you for posting it. I didn't mean to be morbid. Just wanted to express kind of a a fun fact.
@FretNoise900 - No disrespect taken. Thank you for commenting. As you may have noticed, a lot of the comments on this slide show are about the meaning of Paul Simon's lyrics. I found the commentary here interesting.
Actually, this song is about a dish Paul Simon found in a Chinese Menu. It was called a "Mother and Child Reunion" and it was chicken and eggs. This is what modern music needs, less lyrics and more music. I love how Paul Simon is able to just fuse words and make them sound beautiful. Whether this song means anything or not doesn't really matter, just the fact that it sounds amazing is good enough. Modern day musicians should stop referring to bitches hoes and drugs and just write music.
@FretNoise900 - Yes, I know that. I've heard several interpretations of this song. I decided to put a positive connotation to it, because I like the tune, and I like animals. Simple animal slide shows make me feel good.
If you would like to make a very depressing video to go with this tune, feel free to do so.
Had a life changing dream last night, realizing high school is over and how fast my life is gonna go by. Want my mom there in the future. Really want my mom to be there in the future, just hope she will be after she finds out who I really am.
The first time I heard Paul Simon without Art was with this song and it inmediatly struck me. Guess at that time I haven't heard many reggae songs and surely I was unaware of the genre. Still love it after all those years.
@FrontalTraction This is about his young dog who snuck out of the house and was killed by a car. 2 weeks after the young dogs mother passed. They are reunited.
@FrontalTraction you are right about it being food but it has nothing to do with eggs or chicken it is a chinesse dish and it is called mother and child reunion
@KYHorse79 This is about paul simon tucking into a Chicken and Mayo sandwich...realized that mayo was made out of eggs then spat it out. Wrote the song accordingly.
@KeithWeithy - Hang in there, sweetie. It gets better in time.
Sending love and light your way across the webz (corny, but true). Tonight at my house, I light a candle for your Mom and your cat, and for you ~~ Deb
OMG I HEARD Sound of Silence like 2 weeks ago and i was like that song is so F%$@#&@ sick..... and i have always loved this song so when i found out this song was made by Paul Simon i freakin like it like 50000x more now!
Hope this gets through first time posting . Great song and video deb dont let those who dont like it get you down they are on heavy medication and the wrong kind
deb that was a great video, had been a long time since I had listened to paul and the slideshow was perfect , anybody that didnt like that was on heavy medication and the wrong kind
4 didn't like it. uh huh. Okay they didn't like the video maybe, what possible
reason:maybe too corny, but really? They didn't like the song, well it's a pretty
big hit from a very proven quality artist, and not a bad tune, so really?What we probably have are let's face it 4 trolls, who don't like much of frickin anything, really.
@17865329 - There's something to critique in all things--I guess that is some people's perspective. Anyway--I ain't going for high art. Animal photos make me smile and I like simple slide shows.
@debwal Well put. I LOVE this song...and the video is appropriate. I love it....then again I'm a huge animal lover. Everyone has an opinion, but some people really need to learn how to critique, not criticize. Mama always said....if u have nothing good to say, don't say anything at all. Thanks for posting and sharing this great video.....Smooches!
Maybe some people didn't like it because the slideshow doesn't reflect the subject of the song. The song was a Vietnam era war protest about all the mothers who lost their sons and daughters in that useless conflict. Personally, I think the video is a unique perspective on the song; not bad just different.
@17865329 reading your reply made me want to do some research of my own and you are right. I was surprised to see all the additional interpretations of this song as well. Guess I was wrong, and had to open my mouth to show my naivete. Oh, well. And no, I'm not one of those who thinks Paul is dead. I think the whole "walrus is Paul" thing was a big joke.
@bsteinagel Well, you are somebody who is classy and humble enough to admit that you were wrong, on what is probably a pretty trivial point anyway. Good post,
and isn't it funny, how you actually look better for being wrong. No worries. Good on you, because there are a lot of people on YouTube who wouldn't have been as gracious about it as you.
To me this is both a happy and sad song. My mother passed away in cancer a few years ago. This is nevetheless a beautiful song that reminds me of our time together.
@christer1947ify Yeah, you're right: Paul Simon is every bit as skilled and musically gifted as the so much beloved Paul Mc Cartney and John Lennon! And that is not supposed to mean that I don't love their music, too!
The song title did indeed come from a dish that Paul Simon had at a Chinese restaurant. He thought it would a great name for a song. The song itself is about the death of his dog. Apparently he and his family were moving into a new house and their pet dog got loose and ran into the street and got killed by a car. The same thing happened to my cat and my friend told me about the meaning of the song.
"The mother and child reunion is only a motion away..." The mother considering suicide to be rejoined with her dead child. The video isn't really in keeping with the message of the song, nor are 99% of the comments. What a "strange and mournful day" when I realise most people don't care about the real strength of Paul Simon's music - his lyrics.
@Zigiwy I agree. I was just thinking the same thought. I've always considered this to be one of the grimmest, saddest songs to ever be a top 40 hit. although I've always interpreted it to be about the police arriving to tell the mother that they've found her missing child, and the news is very very bad. "I can't for the life of me remember a sadder day". this kind of reminds me of all the people who play "I will always love you" at their weddings.
@epicmeade "kind of reminds me of all the people who play "I will always love you" at their weddings." Haha, yeah don't you just love it when the sound bite generation try to explore the depths of popular culture? We're talking eyes closed, swim ring and snorkel. Thanks for the reply :)

To me this is both a happy and sad song. My mother passed away in cancer a few years ago. This is nevetheless a beautiful song that reminds me of our time together.

@christer1947ify Yeah, you're right: Paul Simon is every bit as skilled and musically gifted as the so much beloved Paul Mc Cartney and John Lennon! And that is not supposed to mean that I don't love their music, too!

The song title did indeed come from a dish that Paul Simon had at a Chinese restaurant. He thought it would a great name for a song. The song itself is about the death of his dog. Apparently he and his family were moving into a new house and their pet dog got loose and ran into the street and got killed by a car. The same thing happened to my cat and my friend told me about the meaning of the song.

"The mother and child reunion is only a motion away..." The mother considering suicide to be rejoined with her dead child. The video isn't really in keeping with the message of the song, nor are 99% of the comments. What a "strange and mournful day" when I realise most people don't care about the real strength of Paul Simon's music - his lyrics.

@Zigiwy I agree. I was just thinking the same thought. I've always considered this to be one of the grimmest, saddest songs to ever be a top 40 hit. although I've always interpreted it to be about the police arriving to tell the mother that they've found her missing child, and the news is very very bad. "I can't for the life of me remember a sadder day". this kind of reminds me of all the people who play "I will always love you" at their weddings.

@epicmeade "kind of reminds me of all the people who play "I will always love you" at their weddings." Haha, yeah don't you just love it when the sound bite generation try to explore the depths of popular culture? We're talking eyes closed, swim ring and snorkel. Thanks for the reply :)
