So poigant and understated an interpetation, the half-step just behind the original songs rhythm gives it impossibly, an even lovelier feel. Paul Simon, the 'Songwriter Laureate', our living Legend...
Just the imagery that his lyrics create "his hands rolling down her hair"... you can actually see this couple in your mind. Possibly the greatest song (musically, lyrically and vocally) ever created.
Yo puedo notar que los ojos de Paul Simon sienten una cierta tristeza cuando ello canta esta canción. Parece que esta canción tiene una relación con el fracaso del segundo casamiento de Paul Simon. No sé lo que pasó (y creo que hasta hoy ninguén sabe), pero se ello amaba a Carrie Fischer, ello sentió-se muy contrariado por ver que por la 2a vez no tuvo suerte en el amor. Se yo fuera Paul Simon no iba a conseguir cantar esta canción completa y lloraría en el show.
This song breaks my heart every time I hear it, but I will never get old of listening to it...its such a peaceful song for lovers going their separate ways. "That's not how the world works baby...this is how I love you baby".

Great song. My father, of all people, exposed me to it. Everyone I've told about it has said it's a great song.
