  • I love this vid cause it provides me a mono version :D

  • OK, this song might never be an epic. So what?  But it means a lot to those of us who it mean a lot to. To the rest of you......listen elsewhere for songs with meaning to you.

  • I've found so much pleasure in S&G songs that I've decided to write folk music.

  • It is one of my favourite songs since many years, my dad loves it as well, he has shown it to me and then I heard it on skins last year, that's why it has become my favourite show of all.

  • I love the arpeggios on the guitar, the harmony of the voices and the sheer poetry of the lyrics of this song. Pop music doesn't get any better than this.

  • Which season and episode of Skins?

  • Great

  • I have a hard time remembering what day it is sometimes...

    So yesterday morning at around 3 A.M. I looked at my clock and smiled then I said, "It's 3 A.M. on a Wednesday morning." I put this album in my CD player and then listened to it about 3 times or so. When the song got done playing for the 3rd time, I looked over at my calendar, and "Oh, shit! It's TUESDAY morning, 3 A.M.!"

  • @Aqualung1989 I've heard a few of their songs... and I love them <3

  • why I didn't know it before the skins ? :<

  • @maupka16 well, now go check more of their stuff :)

  • Skins is a bag of shit, If you came here because of that shit tv show you are to young to appreciate the beauty of this song.

  • @MikeyHNCC1701D you're too old to realize the difference between to and too :|

  • @nubeoxinh Well done for spotting the spelling mistake I made. I hope it makes your life much better.

  • @MikeyHNCC1701D it did

  • @nubeoxinh Capital letter and full stop needed moron.

  • I had this album years ago. It contained the first version of Sounds of Silence. This version was without drums.

  • too ****** to appreciate ART!

    Art is a good singer :-)

  • What the fuck is Skins? I'm here for the music.

  • @yumirox66 one of the best tv-series! And yes, Skins did bring me here, but I'm still here for the music. :)

  • Is there two finer voices in tandem? Gorgeous.

  • i honstely don't know what skins is. and please don't tell me and stop talking about

  • my boy plays this for me. (:

  • this is the ultimate liberal bleeding heart song...guy robs a licker store and he is painted as the victim...what about the store owner?...is he ok?

  • @JoeyPencils Stop hating.

  • @Litterboxer529 I know I was just trying to stir the pot...

  • @JoeyPencils Well you've succeeded

  • @JoeyPencils This is just a song telling a story.

  • @JoeyPencils You're sort of right, but I still find it poignant. I could imagine Michael Moore sticking up for this guy.

  • @napalm5 I love the song...posted that when I was in a bad mood and wanted to start a firestorm...ya MM would blame the store owner.

  • @JoeyPencils Well the song is a fictional story so who cares about the store owner you absolute idiot.

  • Simon and Garfnkel certainly harmonize so excellently!

  • What the hell is "Skins"?

  • Has anyone ever heard the live version? It's even more beautiful than this version; I almost cried when I heard it.

  • somewhere they can't find me is a better version i think

  • For some reason, this song just came to mind...It was played at my Grandma's funeral when I was 10. I'm 20 now - it's strange to think that was 10 years ago! It still makes me cry listening to it, but at the same time it makes me feel very peaceful. It's just very beautiful, I think...

  • 0 dislikes! Finally!

  • What's Skins?

  • @kittylynch007 A tv show, it has awesome music!

  • Tried to adjust the speakers balance to a little left.

    Wow! Amazing harmony!

  • @HKwong0502 Yes, that is amazing to hear the harmonys

  • seems ppl are taking the song to literal

    this is a true heaven sent song for us to

    enjoy many thanks for posting a true fave ov mine

  • Such a beautiful song. Truly amazing.

  • NO ONE CARES IF YOU SAW IT ON SKINS.

    NO ONE CARES IF YOU DIDN'T SEE IT ON SKINS.

    IT'S FUCKING SIMON AND GARFUNKEL.

  • @quinlynnes i see it on skins :) hahahahahaha

  • @quinlynnes i care, where did you see it, pal?

  • What difference does it make if Skins brought you here or not.

  • You know a song is epic when it has 0 dislikes

  • @N2651 Unfortunately, someone has added a dislike. That DOESN'T mean that it's any less EPIC, though! It simply means that someone out there is too ****** to appreciate ART!

  • @N2651 So now that it has one, it isn't epic anymore?

    I dare say the amount of dislikes has nothing to do with the quality of this song. I would still consider it to be absolutely amazing if it had twice as many dislikes as likes.

  • Only 14 and I never heard this song from anywhere but my love of classic rock, when I bought this cd a year ago..

  • What... is Skins? I've never heard of it. I just came for a lovely song.

  • I think everyone here should just shut up. Listen to the song. I know this is brought up in comments for many videos where the "reason" a person listens to the song is disputed, but really. It's just a song. It's not even politically aimed, it's a song about a guy watching his one night stand sleep next to him, who is sad because he has to run in the morning, because he robbed a liquor store. Really. Skins is a specific show, with a specific audience, and it's FINE if you're not that audience. 

  • skins <3

  • there is a live version of this song that i had once, that is so insanely good; i mean, the sound is just gaaa gaa gaaaaaaaa

    fucking heart breaking song

  • Thumbs up if you didn't need to see a fucking MTV show to know about this song.

  • Skins didn't bring me here, Simon and Garfunkel did.

  • its a shame that people only hear of this quality by watching shite that is the programme 'Skins' another show created to form a "majority" again forcing young ppl to think that they have to compete in order to belong and to be accepted else they are ruined... sad,sad,sad at least i have this tune to make it all seem a little less pathetic.

  • @DodgyJusByName Amen brother

  • @DodgyJusByName Amen brother

  • @DodgyJusByName Amen brother

  • @DodgyJusByName i didn't hear this song because of skins, i've never even watched that show

    regardless, who cares? isn't it cool that people get to hear this song?

    people like you need to relax about the impact of tv on "young people"

  • @CT27NX well unfortunately mate having that attitude of "relaxing about the impact on children" is the exact reason children are in such a shit state hahaha so no im not gonna ignore or as you say relax because its my responsibility to be a decent role-model.. people like you should man-up and learn not to quit so easily.

  • @DodgyJusByName like i said, i haven't watched your show, so i can't tell upon what pretext you're building your opinion

    kids, as kids of all generations, are just kids

    i have good nephews, then nasty ones too - and there's no one global solution to their toothing

    this role model humbug is about as smelly as cow dung

    - - my point really was: just enjoy the song, asshole

  • @CT27NX mate.... ummm.. whatever... yea kids are kids.. but did you know there's been a 68% increase in arthiritus in children aged 6-10 hmmmmm i wonder why that is... oh yea too many kids spending too much time on computers because they have parents like you saying shit like "there aint no solution", "kids are kids" basically you attitude is just "oh well its too much hassle for me, just give up"... also well done for making your point look stupid... who cussed 1st??

  • @DodgyJusByName a ver coño

    1. i don't have kids, but clearly if i had i wouldn't let them be in front of the pc all day - that's just bad parenting

    2. the majority of cases of arthritis are either from disease/infection or from wear and tear (too much exercise!)

    3. a statistic saying 68% increase means nothing if i have no initial or end value - that might just mean an increase from 3 to 5 kids per annum!

    stupid, i am not; disgusted by your rant, i am.

    stop replying.

  • @CT27NX nah man dont start trying to runaway, you gave your opinion on my comment UNINVITED so now im gonna pay you back.... now that its my turn to reply you tell me to stop - not at all!!!.. look at the end of the day you have your opinion and i have mine... you should leave it at that... but i will say that at least i didnt sink as low as to swear at someone for nothing.. it shows even though i disagree, i have a little amount of respect for you... peace!!

  • @DodgyJusByName but you are better by writing comments like this? O_o

  • @hbcht you really want me to answer that?

  • @DodgyJusByName sure.

  • @hbcht im better than you!

  • @DodgyJusByName ohhh wow, lol. that wasn't the eloquent answer i expected.

  • @DodgyJusByName 1. cant you guys be happy about everyone who finds this nice piece of music?

    2. its a bit funny though, because the fifth season of skins, where this song appears, stands for everything you apparently dont do:

    accepting everyone no matter who or what they are or they come from.

    trying to understand different points of view.

    and therefore NOT competing to belong.

    but im sure you're better. ;-)

  • @hbcht dude you are so full of shit... "trying to understand different points of view"... hmmmm so based on that comments whats your problem with what i said?? exactly!! you preach equality until someone doesnt agree with your point of view... next thing your starting arguments and contradicting yourself along the way.. i can accept wank shows like skins, but can you accept i dont like them???????? if so then what the fuck are you doing??

  • @DodgyJusByName man, i have no problem with you not liking skins.

    i have a problem with you saying its pathetic, saying its a shite/wank show and a bit with your aggressive language.

  • @hbcht so your allowed to have your opinion and say what you want.. but im not allowed to have my opinion?? all i'll say is this unlike you i have no problem with you and i wont have a problem even if you say "i love skins" but just because iv said its shit - fucking deal with it man, your gonna meet plenty of people who dont like that show, what are you gonna do then? fight everyone who thinks its wank?? plus you cant actually do nething to me, so whats the point you having a problem with me?

  • @DodgyJusByName when u were exchanging comments with CT27NX you were talking about respect and now you're innsulting and not showing respect at all, oh, and you say "... preach equality until someone doesnt agree with your point of view..." about hbcht... but that's more or less what you do. So please be polite when you post comments here and enjoy the song.

  • @Aqualung1989 not at all, think about where im coming from, i put a comment on here just having my opinion, then some ass says he's got a problem with me because i think its crap... but yea i suppose im 100% wrong.. you better go preach to "nellster66" as well he agreed with me. oh yea by the way.. why should i show respect to someone who swears at me? i didnt tell him to and i did enjoy the song until it lost its identity to a t.v show. im looked-down upon because im not a fan.. c'mon thats bad

  • @DodgyJusByName well yous tarted saying Skins is "shite". I personally have never watched the show, although I think I'd probably not like it. However, with that comment you may offend some people. You want to give your opinion? That's perfect, but if you want people to respect you, you should also be respectful.

  • @Aqualung1989 yea i said its shite.. so what?? i see comments everywhere on youtube of people saying things that i like are shit, but i dont engage them in an argument, thats when i keep my opinion to myself, plus comments on here should be taken with a pinch of salt, it could've remained respectful but he decided to swear 1st, if you check my comments it reads.. "look at the end of the day you have your opinion and i have mine... you should leave it at that" then im an asshole, whateva im out

  • @DodgyJusByName I was gonna give you shit for posting the same thing on another video but it was my playlist repeating so I'm the dumbass. Don't know what Skins is, and judging by your comment that's a good thing.

  • @HuntingForHumans ok, not sure if your having a dig, but skins is a t.v show shown here in the UK, a vast majority like it, but its because its the "norm" over here to say you like something just to be accepted into the 'in-crowd', worship celebrities and idolise them instead forming there own opinions from experiences and scenario's etc the annoying thing is because i dont follow the whole reality t.v and fashion stuff etc im looked upon as a dick!! its a shame originality has disappeared here.

  • @DodgyJusByName Pretty sure you're thinking of Grease.

  • @chaosx910 in what way mate?

  • skins skins skins skins skins !

  • THANK.YOU.SKINS.

  • i remember listening this when i was really young (born in 1992), from my moms cd. I loved Vivaldi as well .. brings back memories :)

  • Thumbs up if skins brought you here.

  • @varickloc How about Thumbs down.

  • The first album I ever bought as a kid. My parents then suspected me of smoking pot. That was two years later...(1971).
