  • He looks older than his Dad..strange..

  • It's weird when he mentions Paulette Godard, because Jena actually does remind me of her quite a bit, come to think of it. I wonder if that's why she was chosen for the video.

  • Beautiful song! We need more music like this in today's 'plastic' day and age!

  • This song was beautiful.

  • Only the child of Paul Simon could do something this beautiful...

  • this song leave me Breathless ..

  • Awesome-So glad to see people shooting on Pro 8. I'm currently shooting a Film myself using the same format. "ESCAPE" . You guys did a wonderful Job,seemed like a blast to make and the colors so vibrant.

  • This guitar is beautifully played, love it !

  • This really is a beautiful sound

  • @PURPLEBEATTIE1 thanks for the video really nice.

  • @budhempfeld I am glad you like it.His father is Paul Simon of Simon and Garfunkel

  • A good chip off the old block, sumptious, Paul must be proud of his Son.

  • This does sound similar to Simon & Garfunkel,but we have to keep in mind;Paul Simon was his dad.

  • Nice song..... maybe he was raised in S&G as it is a rip of their sound and phrasing totally.

  • This song puts a smile on my face :-)

  • Beautiful song.....beautiful imagery.....beautiful girl........

  • Best song I heard for months

  • The guy sounds a bit like Simon and Garfunkel and forgot Jena Malone was in Donnie Darko. Any idea what camera this was shot on? Just asking since I can tell it was shot on motion picture film.

    I don't know how Malone can top this music video with Sucker Punch.

  • @3baxcb it sounds like Simon and Garfunkel because Harper Simon is Paul Simon's son :D

    true story, i swear

  • Amazing song. Who is backing him up? When I close my eyes, I picture it's Art Gurfunkel. Sweet beauty.

  • So dull.......you would never have guessed his dad was Paul Simon !(said with tongue in cheek)

  • @LollyLouLa I agree. This sounds more like a parody of Simon and Garfunkel than anything else. Shame though, I bet this guy has talent, but this here is just a lazy rip off another's work.

  • un véritable artiste tout en poésie .

  • simple the the don, a chip of the old block, that's good do more in this vain please, i love it, wow!!!!

  • I fucking love Jena Malone!!!

  • nice, sweet song, love it.

  • the video is beautiful (not just the girl)

  • lovely!

  • yay Ben! Rad job.

  • Jena Malone is hots.

  • Brilliant tune. Great singing. But 'pretentious & mediocre' video. Sorry. Your songs deserve a more natural & abstract imagery. That , is said with respect for your musical talent.

  • a gem of a song xx please some more harper!!

  • Sounds just like simon and garfunkel especially for Emily whenever I may find her

  • This really recalls the feeling of the 70's its so beautiful :-) And the vid is really awesome finally a real musician in that crazy music world

  • I think I was the last person on earth to 'twig ' that this Paul Jnr !! LOL !! However always loved Pa and this is just SO beautiful in its own right, love love it x

  • Heard this yesterday on the radio' i was convinced id heard it before' thought it Was paul Simon, what a perfect clone of his fathers is this guy..Brill song.5*****

  • when i first heard this on the radio i thought it was an old simon and garfunkel track. fantastic tune. he really is a chip off the old block.

  • I love this song xxx

  • Fantastic song.Need to find out more about Mr Simon jnr..

  • A truly memorable song! Beautiful Words! Powerful Emotions! Tells a beautiful story and will be as memorable as some of the songs of his fathers! Another "Simon" hits the the streets!!

  • Cant stop playing this fantastic record!

  • I've GOT it! The chord progression is straight from "Dangling Conversation" ("and you read your Emily Dickinson, and I my Robert Frost"...); the lyrics, of course, are partly drawn from Scarborough Fair. Quite an ear I've got, eh? : ) Some may call it copying, I think it's a clever ode.

  • Interesting how the live recording at the radio station sounds so drastically different and un-Simon and Garfunkel-like... seems like he resorted to mimicking his father's duo to get his music sounding decent. 

  • Very pretty.

  • the graduate

    

  • Wow, favorited. I love Jena Malone! And this song is pure Simon & Garfunkle. I've got to check out more from this Harper Simon fellow. :)

  • This is very pretty, nice vid too. Far superior to the live recording previously posted. (did I also say bute Karmen Ghia) ;-)

  • This is very pretty, nice vid too. Far superior to the live recording previously posted.

  • ça ressemble énormément à du Simon & Garfunkel.... IL y a même des passages où c'est même de la copie parfaite....mais c'est beau.

    J'adore simon & Garfunkel et au moins autant le travail de Paul Simon des dernières années.

  • @Lecretois Dans cette chanson on entend un passage musical de "Dangling conversation",Particulièrement  là : "And you read your Emily Dickinson.."

  • Top class... top class.

  • i was feeling the song too

  • dont get me wrong, this video is real sick, super 8 is awesome... times are tough, id shoot everything on super 8 or s16mm if i could.. .

  • it's not that costly...and your 7D doesn't look like film :)

  • Comment removed

  • @joncstewart ... since when did super 8 have a DOF?.. the video prolly cost around 600 dollars worth of materials

  • This was shot on a Classic Pro Max 8 . Scanned to HD on the M2 in 444 RGB 10 Bit. They used  3 different super 8 negative film stocks, Pro8/01, Pro8/07 and Pro8/19. Yes this cost money but not as much as you might think.

  • this video prolly cost like 1000 worth of film and transferring.... i love super 8 .. but my 7D doesnt cost money to use each time i use it

  • @jwolf18 yeah but does your 7D have heart?

  • @mtgentry .. no but the pro8mm classic with Crystal sync that i bought a few years ago for like 2,500 dollars that sits and collects dusts does...

  • @jwolf18 haha fair enough! ease of use is worth a lot : )

  • I came to see the super 8. But then, wow, what an amazing song! I'm hooked. I think I'll listen to it squeezed between Paul Simon and Donovan on my playlist!!!

  • Sorry can you tell me what film stock and what camera?

  • The usage of Super 8 film makes the footage appear 20-30 years older than it really is! Quality cinematography like this inspires me to bring 8mm film into my market of Film and VIdeo Production here in Portland, Oregon.

    Cheers

  • very nice cinematography!

  • Love the video and the Super 8mm! SWEET!
