  • any sauce?

  • Bookends makes me cry...97% of the times I listen to it

  • Thanks for putting it together. It touches my heart. I just dread the day where I will lose my best friend...my wife. But the Lord will be merciful. I believe that.

  • They truly wrote too many beautiful songs, this definately is their best.

  • incredible song, and a great video to go with it. thanks for the upload. 

  • I can't listen this without crying

  • They were a phenomenal pair. Each of their songs has a completely different style and tone from the last, and their lyrics and arrangements are just stunning. Simon and Garfunkel evoked every emotion possible with their music, they really put everything they could in each song. This is just beautiful.

  • This music is truly timeless. I'm fifteen and Bookends makes me cry.

  • amazing song thanks m8 the words sink in when you hit your mid 35's and realize you aint 15 no more, jeez i feel like i have to thank my parents for letting me listen to all there albums as a kid what a song and what ending to a song.

  • How terribly strange that these two young men are 70.

  • Unbelievably gorgeous. How could Paul Simon, so young back then, know what it feels to grow old. I was a teen back then, and am now 56, and fear getting even older. I look at my aging face in the mirror and can't believe. That line "How terribly strange to be 70" haunts me, as my husband will turn 61 this year. "Silently sharing the same fears." Simon is a freaking genius!

  • bookends always makes me cry! i love the high pitched transition at 2:30

  • Me, too! It always reminded me of the similar gorgeous sustained violin note right after the witch turned the hourglass over and locked Dorothy in the castle. Remember?

  • @mrsmagloo Oh Yeah!! haha thats true I knew it sounded somewhat familiar, yea i like it its like everytime i heard im like this is bookends! love it.

  • Beautiful song! I love the chords that play as the song fades in...so relaxing and calming. Music is really something, isn't it?

  • I was listening to the album on sunday, and i finally realized that its two songs in one, kinda like "Have A Cigar" and "Wish You Were Here" by Pink Floyd. All amazing songs!

  • just heard this again recently on the wonder years. so good...especially starting at 3:00

  • Thank you! I was in search of Bookends. I did not knoe that it was only a portion of a song. I am afraid to say it left me in tears. So much of my life has become dreams and faded photographs

  • Wow. Very powerful some 40+ years later! Very impressive video and I'm REALLY impressed with the quality of that vinyl LP! Thanks.

  • I have only heard the bookends when it was on Girl Interruped. I am so glad that I have found this video that you have made. They have such beautiful music which makes me wish I was born in the 1960s instead I was born in 1977. : ) thank you for posting added this song to my fav list.

  • The lyrics, the melody... the poetry of Simon and Garfunkel touches the hearts. this is true music. The video is equally beautiful. Thanks for posting.

  • Both the music and the video make an experience too beautiful for words. Excellent work!

  • Stunning song :o) Should never be heard any other way than in full. Ridiculous that it's so hard to find complete. Thank you so much x

  • It's ridiculous how much I had to search to hear the whole version of this song. I love it.

  • Many thanks for your kind words, and encouragement. This video was made by me, for some-one very special, my youngest son.

  • god bless you and your son. i bet you are a great parent and i bet you have a great son. all my best to you and your family.

  • Perfect in every way, the music & the pictures you've chosen for your remarkable video..! Thank you so very much for this...
