Paul Simon - Soft Parachutes

[Baliverna]

In Italy the movie used to be shown late night now and then years ago. I never caught it, and now since years it's not to be seen anymore.

[Baliverna]

Why did he leave this song out of the original One Trick Pony album? Did he think it wasn't good enough? I can't make it out.

[PattieLNoah]

Just finished watching this movie again. It's been years since I've seen it. Such a shame this song was left off the album. I love it!

Now where is that vinyl album ... are her it is , thanks

As the film was less than well-received critically, this song (as I recall) was also dismissed by music critics as being insipid or puerile. 'Tis a shame, because I always found it to be extremely powerful and affecting.

[spoonido]

It's arguably the best song in the movie, but was the only song in the movie not on the soundtrack album! I still play it on guitar from time to time. The other songs were mostly forgettable. Would love to see the film again someday.

I am a huge Paul Simon fan and i wonder, with the film deleted and all, do you know if there is any other way to see the movie?

[joetke]

Thanks for this hard to find great song. Thanks a lot.

[timlee19]

@joetke No worries mate! Glad you enjoy it as much as I do. T

[lpss1985]

What I would give to see that movie!

[HotbunsLalla]

This really is an under-appreciated song. Poignant, yet beautiful.

[GirMcDog]

Paul Simon is love.

<3

[winterweib]

@GirMcDog Thank you for this.

I saw the movie early on and always liked this song and ace in the hole is a good song as well. Please share the whole movie so I can put it on dvd. I can only watch it on vhs. I am a big fan of the movie and think it is under appreciated.

[poggipoggi]

It is available on DVD, I've recently purchased it from Amazon. Just saying.

I saw "One Trick Pony" years ago. I thought the script was ok, and of course the songs are wonderful. And I'm a huge Paul Simon fan, but I have to say ... Paul is not exactly an Academy Award-winning actor. Still, it's interesting if for no other reason than to see more of how his mind works.
