Simon And Garfunkel The Boxer

[heatherann301]

this is the best band to ever live! no one will ever top them. they sing from the heart

[TerrariumFusilage1]

Its a bittersweet song. The li li part emphasizes the feelings of struggling in NYC.

[cowill101]

@Forimusic

Wow... You really need to get another hobby other than insulting good music. If you have nothing to say, unless it won't anger people, then just leave. If you don't like the song, close out of your browser, but don't piss off the people who enjoy this music.

[winshark99]

Beautiful Song! This is music, from the heart!

[therealplease]

I do declare, there were times when I was so lonesome

I took some comfort there

[whosCats]

If I had a million dollars..I'd buy you some Art

[fuggindoosh]

wut da fuk is a gardfunkle?

[Kaynas1988]

@fuggindoosh Art Garfunkel one half of Simon and Garfunkel

[fuggindoosh]

@Kaynas1988 who asked you?

[Kaynas1988]

@fuggindoosh no one but u asked what the hell a Garfunkel is and answered the question

[SwedishSlime]

@TippyTippyTay Its not youtube that has changed. Its the peoples... If you stop being such thumps up hoes youtube will turn into a better place.

[pikeonfly1]

One of the best songs ever!

[mmakl]

when you hear about them the first time, you suspect that they're kinda lame. but what people dont know is, is that they are geniuses in rock. listen to the harmony and lyrics. sometimes it doesnt even match! but simon and garfunkel make it work! thats how good they are.

[mrfollylane1]

i am 14 and me and my dad alway lissend to this song and sing along :)

[westbound909]

evergreen and some song that time cant bring to a stand still.

[fabriciocastillo]

Gives me goosflesh every time I hear them...

[cletrets]

i love that song so much the melody is so sweet i remember when i was au lycée

[meisme56]

@forimusic SO STUPED? REALLY? WTF YOU WOULDN'T KNOW POETRY IF IT LOOKED YPPU IN THE FACE

[bobbie80ful]

when the next concert they dont make songs like this no more

[thisispetch]

why isnt this way more famous? i know its known but jeez,

[Trumuzicfan192]

How Did They Do The Lightning Sounding Snare Without A Drum Machine!?

[waprob]

@Trumuzicfan192 normal snare drum with tons of reverb on the recording - basically it exaggerates the echo of the original sound

[alphapaw132]

@Trumuzicfan192 The snare drum sound was recorded in an ajoining building's 8 story elevator shaft.

[spinning3004]

@Trumuzicfan192

They put the drum at the bottom of a lift shaft and the microphone at the top.

[heyaidkwhut]

@Trumuzicfan192 I think they used Garfunkels

[Klokkeklangen]

One word - Amazing!

[forimusic]

this is the most stuped song for ever

[madzos123]

@forimusic OH MY GOD... you are seriously troubled if you can't see the beauty in this song! and even if you don't like the tune the lyrics are sooo meaningful!

[Owyheemud]

@forimusic

Since you're so stupid you can't spell stupid, your opinion isn't of much value. Go listen to autotune-whore gaga and leave this place in peace.

[crazygunner99]

@Owyheemud im sorry pressed the wrong tumb :(

[alvinpaul1000]

@forimusic really?????? hahahaha

[crazygunner99]

@forimusic why are u listening to one of worlds best song if u have THAT BAD TASTE...bitch

[PeaceLoveandMovies]

@forimusic hi, let me introduce you to three of my friends, spelling, punctuation and, who's that last guy? oh yeah, good taste in decent music... i dont think you've met

[2826191]

With all due respect: I wonder how some ppl disliked this song???.j.

[rasskal]

Gooooodest song ever. God made it!

[Forcefield23]

today is the first time ive listen to this in god knows how long. still gives me goosebumps.

[masmith1960]

I find myself feeling like the fighter. I want at times to leave, but I remain, though it be out of being required or want to stay on my own, I do not know, yet I remain.

[still4syntax]

together they sang to perfection...

S&G were REAL musicians!

[nicolasdumesnil]

A legendary duo. One can barely aspire to reach a tenth of that level. If you have time, check the cover of The Boxer on my channel.

[steveeey1]

I was about tenyears old walking through a tube station to LOndon zoowith my parents. I heard a busker singing a song that changed my view on pop musiv forever. I scampered home to see if my mum had the song on a tape. I was delighted to find it and listened to it for days on end. A sheer masterpiece!!

[LOZLinkWolf]

love it love it love it

[geanodd]

one of the greatest songs ever.

[mdelair420]

brillant story telling such timeless music i agree this music trancends time alot of music just dose'nt have alot of felling or emotion,this has both brillant

[angelo062367]

simon and garfunkle's music is timeless, to me there music still speaks to generations of all ages

[twinytwin92]

the end is beautiful and full of passion

[Guerrillero20]

A milestone in music history!! I can listen to this song 24/7 without getting bored!

[jamielynnp24]

I originally listened to this song b/c of the lilali part (it's so beautiful) but then I actually read the lyrics. This is truly an amazing song!!!

[KingEndex]

This song is beautiful, especially at the end. WOW.

[Gathol]

ditto king

[blowoutcardsroxmysox]

This is an unbelievable song. I remember watching them in Central Park. They are legends of the music world.

[CRASHYLAD]

S!cK MuSiC

[qaz121212]

li la li...

[obamamaniac42]

The part where they go li li li over and over shhould really be annoying. Why do I love it so much?

[Cheapthrill1979]

@obamamaniac42 was my fav part as a kid. I used to drive my family mad singing that in the back of the car.

[DameLucky]

@obamamaniac42

Could not agree more, o/42. That "li li li" on seemingly endless repeat (which, of course, echoes what happens IRL graphically; that is, the plague of liars from top to bottom feeders never ceases), that sequence?

S&G sing "lie, lie, lie" (and, as evidence or proof of my contention :) — nope, ain't no bloddy lawyer, speaking of [ahem] liars — consider the fact the tune opens with "all lies and jest" coming near the top of the first lines. Amazin' heartbreaker, eh? TKO.

[helamanjones]

more please!

[BabyDoll1981zoe]

i love these guys they are great and this song is brilliant :) xx

[yadamatrix]

This guys are such good songwriters... I thought no one was comparable to Bob Dylan but these lyrics make Dylan's look bad!! This is more poetic if you know what I mean.

[clistere2]

uhu.. start listenin to tom waits if you want REALLY good lyrics :)

[iHoady]

Or if I want your OPINION on what are good lyrics? Yeah, thought so.

Bye.

[clistere2]

why the hell people on youtube are always so damn angry? bah... it was just a simple advice...

[iHoady]

Advice? I have listened to Tom Waits many times and his lyrics suck. Why don't you listen to my advice.

[clistere2]

i'll do it, big boy

[hanesDerBeste2]

i love this song!!!

[obamamaniac42]

Yes, 1 million finally!!!

[MuSic20098]

[Twaiky]

Nick and simon are 2 dutch artists who killed this song by covering it =/ if you ask me.

Simon and Garfunkel rule ^^

[o0Dreamlike0o]

Nick and Simon did this song? xD Oh man, I so gotta hear that version. xD Can't wait.

[lyanne00900]

I Love this song,

You should listen to the version from

''Nick en Simon''

I think it's one of the best covers

(sorry for my bad Englisch)

[MoPar7055]

Whose Nick en Simon?

[charmq777]

just did and you are absolutely right - great cover!

[obamamaniac42]

ruleoforder seriously, that's the tenth time I've seen you spamming videos for no reason. GO AWAY, we want to be able to live in peace.

Simon/Garfunkel ROCKS!!!!!!

[vikinsweresteriotypd]

these two deserve a monument!

[boojum420]

@vikinsweresteriotypd

Their music is their monument. No piece of stone could capture that. Some of the most beautiful music ever recorded, that's monument enough :)

[rndmusr1123]

@vikinsweresteriotypd that they were

[Capucacuru]

[urdenc]

[Saggamawuat]

[1S15FReud]

Incomparable

SFreud

[ndcadzdsc]

Just as beautiful as I remember from my early childhood. THIS is what music should be, great poetry set to great music!

[Ohkto]

Even compared to the rest of their work, this is stunning.

[eiess]

[acerb45666555]

[quacamolequeensoon]

[RadiantCowbells]

you anus

[remade1]

Aukiolla seisoo nyrkkeilijä joka, taistelee ammatikseen.... ja sitten alkaa syömaan herkkusieniä ja munia,saatana vittu!

[Fabricpeninsula]

vat?

[Anonyomus]

ei juma, mikä kommentti :D

[woodydood]

i thought it was a locker door slamming, cos they use lockers in boxing areas or gyms do they not?

[maintainancestaff]

According to wikipedia, their drummer banged a heavy chain against a concrete floor in an empty storage closet.

No way in hell I would have guessed that is what made that noise, but it's cool S&G trivia.

[1michellemarie]

Like I really want to stare at a red box!! seee ya!!! lmbo

[jnkandoliv]

espetacular grande musica

[robbertmaas]

it sounds really old, if it was covered with singers from this day it would be better

[CourtJester93]

Lol, good one.

[fallonhadley]

I highly doubt that. Simon & Garfunkel wrote this song and sing it the way it was meant to be sung. Most singers today probably hardly understand this song, let alone music itself.

[AntjaDec]

are you crazy?! Simon & Garfunkel rock and their songs haven't aged not one tiny bit! There's no artist today who could sing this song better than they did!!

[LittlePigglette]

Listen to the Jonas Brothers cover the Beatles.

You'll probably regret saying that.

This song is forever and original. No matter how great a cover may be, it'll never be the original.

And no one can do it like Simon and Garfunkel.

[purplehaze5757]

In a Word No

[falseniels]

wohow do you hear those awesome drums!?¿? !!

[CourtJester93]

Do you mean that hard banging noise? If you were referring to that, that was actually the sound of a heavy chain being slammed against concrete in a storage closet.

Pretty unique!

[lk1347]

is it really?

[CourtJester93]

Yeah, read the article of this song on Wikipedia sometime. Some very nice information. :-)

[karmakamillion]

sounds like a bat or blunt object hitting a storage closet wall

[lij25674]

no not really cuse they r really the only 1 that makes sence

[lij25674]

this scarborough fair an birage over troubled water is the only 1 that rock!!!!!!!!

[Gladovich]

every song from them rocks

[shirls2]

A great song out of lots that they sang love Shirlsxx

[pykara38]

i heard this played through a huge sound system at a BBC studio in London, UK when just a teenager and the memory stays with me till today, it's a powerfully structured piece of words and music. love it.

[garvizzle866]

Good Shit, i have a simalar love for the peice

[thelonewayfarer]

lie lie lie lie la la la la la la lie lie lie lieeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!1

i love that chorus. It's definitely amazing. Fucking A

[takamariano2005]

the best

[sinamoravej]

It's such a powerful song. It's about how life can really suck sometimes and make you want to give up but you fight on anyway.

[Ram1960tui]

Well said...right on

[maddogx2]

the song you are on about is the "the hurricane" by bob dylan its a song written about a boxer called rubin carter who was framed for a murder he didnt commit

[condg3]

does eny 1 no hu sung a song bowt a guy who were going for the world title but got framed becuase of his colour ??????

[29billyclementine]

in the song he admits robing the register so its his owm fault he got blamed for the murder. he never got framed cos of his colour he got framed cos he was a thieving bastard

[bunnyra]

No - the guy who says, "I was only robbin' the register, I hope you understand," is the one that helps the cops frame Rubin Carter - a witness who didn't see the face of the killer but was persuaded through blackmail by the police to say Rubin did it.

[frapptree]

Let's clear this up!

bunnyra is spot on.

Alfred Bello was the one robbing the till (he was with Arthur Dexter Bradley on an attempted robbery at the scene). These two wrongly identified Carter and his pal John Artis at the murder scene. Willie Marins who was shot at the scene, lost one eye but survived, never identified Carter or Artis as being involved. It was all a big set up by the cops and jury. Carter and Artis were aquitted in 1988 after Carter served almost 20 years inside.

[joshlee013]

no he doesnt, rubin carter was driving around on the other side of new jersey

[frapptree]

no, no, no

[frapptree]

no, no, no

[iamjohn89]

2.52 is the best part

[samgee2007]

this song is very unislamic ! Please respect muslims in the world

[nojoke969]

What makes it unislamic?

[nico321]

it is ?

[guitarman63mm]

Your nation is very unAmerican. Please respect Americans in the world.

...doesn't sound to good to your ears, now does it?  Keep your backwards logic to yourself.

[LTLV613]

did veg and hanjobb get a life yet?

[markisdee38]

handjob's a bastard!!

[pitters85]

ha ha ha how funny are handjob and vegetable, i think you should both grow up!!!!! Enjoy the song and take your comments to MSN or something, your blatently made for each other!

[canelaymorusa]

LO MEJOR DE LO MEJOR

[bluebomber888]

I WISH THIS WOULD LOAD FAST

[ERMiNEEDaNAME]

simon and garfunkel are awsome, good song m8 !

[meindewit]

Ich liebe dieses Lied

[katsimbalis7]

Esqueci de dizer uma coisa, foram estes dois que trouceram, cores e harmonia para este mundo horrivel. Paz!

[katsimbalis7]

Bravo! Um grande som e uma dupla bem introzada. É isso, a vida é bela!!

[jamesbrunhilde]

Yo Hanjob, tell me what the fuck racism has to do with this song?? Like sloooowly, so I can understand k?

[PaIatine]

The think hanjobb is one of those proud niggers touchy, as such and believe us white people are making fun of negros in boxing with this song.

[PaIatine]

I think hanjobb*

[PaIatine]

The best songs by Simon & Garfunkel are 'I Am A Rock' "Sounds Of Silence' and 'Homeward Bound' though this song isn't bad.
