Thank you Paul Simon for creating a whole new dimension in my mind; thank you Art Garfunkel for giving me goosebumps whenever listening to this dimension. Two true heartwarmers.
How many guys as I have seen "Rocky" and imagined becoming a great fighter? Today, listening to this song can understand the words. I did the best I could, I am not become a champion, but as the song says "I'm leaving But the fighter still remains", old, painful but remains, at least in my heart.
Love this song. Brings back memories when I used to sing it with my friend in high school. He played the guitar and we both sang. We were called Zac and Taylor which is where I got my youtube name from.
"In the clearing stands a boxer and a fighter by his trade and he carries the reminders of every glove that laid him down or cut him till he cried out in his anger and his shame I am leaving, I am leaving but the fighter still remains."
What a life lesson. Oldie but a great one none the less.
"fuck this?" Seriously? This is great. It doesn't have that epic drum part or the bass, but this is what they always have been as a live act as far as I have seen and it is still just an incredible song and a great performance.
THX!!! thanx for posting this...their are no other studio versions, and this si the best live version, ty for posting, plzzzzzz do not remove this vid. i like it!
i feel sorry for the 6 people who aren't moved by this song. regardless of age.

Did this version add a verse (after the come-on from 7th avenue part)? Is that just my imagination?

that's the famous "missing verse" that they only (sometimes) play live.

Yes - there was a verse written that was not on the released version:
Now the years are rolling by me
They are rockin' easily
I am older than I once was
And younger than I'll be and that's not unusual.
No it isn't strange
