"Who am I to blow against the wind?"

I'm the f***ing weatherman!

[abgaldiz]

WAO ......AL FIN LA ENCONTRE ..... NO SABEN LO QUE TUVE QUE HACER PARA CONSEGUIR ESTA JOYAAAAAAAA

[MrszBaddestChick]

4 people don't know anything

[JayGOS117]

@MrszBaddestChick If only they knew what we know ;)

[JonLexy]

Paul Simon essentially talks crap in all his songs. Good tunes but sort out your lyrics man you're blabbering shit.

[firestartertwistedfi]

@JonLexy either that or he's talking above your level :) what do you think?

[DeadRokstar]

@JonLexy His lyrics make perfect sense to me, maybe you should take time to listen to his music properly before posting negative comments :)

[JonLexy]

@DeadRokstar They make sense gramatically (just), but are pretty rambling and unprofound. Believe me I've taken alot of time listening to them, must be hundreds of hours! Maybe I should be entitled to my opinions of his music, be they negative or positive. Note I did appreciate the positive aspects being the good quality music, however negative aspects being average to poor lyrics.

[firestartertwistedfi]

@JonLexy sorry just fell of my chair laughing :)

[JayGOS117]

@JonLexy I disagree with you, sir. But i'll defend to the death your right to say it. MT

[TheTrueLilly]

@JonLexy I have to agree with JonLexy. Paul Simon's music and lyrics

'speak' many layers of profoundly deep meaning, way over the heads

of the most 'educated'...kinda like 'The Bible', the 'seeming' contradictions

are the keys to true understanding, that stays relevant over time and place,

only needing a whole, seeking, heart to unlock it.

[JonLexy]

@TheTrueLilly Hahaha! This made me giggle.

[bluejeckett]

@TheTrueLilly Bollox lol

[TheTrueLilly]

@bluejeckett 'bollox' you say? Like DeadRokstar, I'd say your ears are dead to the truth of the world. Time, Place, Context, Knowledge, Understanding and more, Change, but God's Just Truth Is Constant; always Perfectly Accounting for Every Individuals, Time, Place, Context, Knowledge, Understanding and more. And Paul Simon's lyrics

reflect that Truth...to 'Those with Hearing Ears'.

[bluejeckett]

@TheTrueLilly Pigs arse lol

[TheTrueLilly]

@bluejeckett "Bollox lol", "Pigs arse lol"...and you think you should judge the talents of gifted word-smiths? sds...that's 'sad deep sigh'...at just how low in character, so many seek to be, now, when we need to exercise the very best character. But I won't bore you with why...pigs posterior, ear, silk purse, pearls and all that.

[bluejeckett]

@TheTrueLilly Poppycock lol

[OmegaDude22]

"I said:"Who am I to blow against the wind?""

[guitarwaysted]

[TheDadsDaughter]

Classic song :) far few between these days

[20syncopate10]

Yea this drumer is sick in the fuckin head to come up with that.

[jhmogale]

Take it from me this is good

[krz0188]

the cinamaphophroghers party lol speeled like it sounded but I know what I know?

[HATTBEE]

nostalgia....ah.

[minamu8]

Best frigging album in the world.

[MrDojo5]

i know what i know i know this song rocks woo woo woo

[crackfarm76]

what i love about this song is that it's poppy, fusiony, light, listenable--and the lyrics are still terrific, not mindless fluff---in other words, what pop should be!!

[sniper12full]

paul you number 1

[VacLateralus]

The voices, my favorite thing of the song

[evanmelgaard]

the bass playing on you can call me al, the best I have ever heard, who does that?

[5556665012008]

@evanmelgaard Bakithi Kumalo. all the bass licks in the album are so great.as a bassist i just adore them.

[RyanakaRhino18]

this was a huuuge favorite back in childhood...and still is =D

[xSoilderx]

Whoop Whoop Whoop Whoop Whoop Whoop Whoop Whoop Whoop Whoop Whoop Whoop Whoop Whoop Whoop Whoop.... :)

I love this song.

[xmisskate1990x]

oh quiet Bob & Paul are awesome!

[davidsan01]

so much better than bob dylan's 'blowing in the wind'.

this is what bob dylan would sound like if he was any good!

[fuckthetroops69]

dont get insulting.

I dig them both.

[davidsan01]

im not getting insulting, im just expressing my own opinion. if i wanted to get insulting then i can. you cant tell me what not write! have you heard of freedom of speech?

[curemeoflove]

Bob Dylan was a poet who used music so that people would listen, it is not correct or propper to damn him entierly. Sure have your own opinion...infact I positively encourage it but your comment is rash and uneeded; simply spreading negativity and bad will is not nice. Sure you can think that and thats fine but do not be so quick to preach it sir, it is not your place nor anyone elses.

[D3thkloc]

@davidsan01 lol i guess u were never around when bob dylan made his music. Paul simons good hell hes amazing but theres no like that people like jhonny cash bob dylan and so many more led the ground work they made a type of music during a time when it was unheard off.

[razordaave]

@D3thkloc don't forget leonard cohen :)

[pberrylas]

musical genius.

[bergcat]

she said "don't I know you from the cinematographer's paaarty?"

love it

[Kody76]

@bergcat

I said "who am i to blow against the wind"

[MyGabrielag]

me too

[dg3774]

We listen to this in physics class.

[clare2509]

I really wish I was in your physics class

[anxez]

One of my all time favorite song intros. And my current favorite Lyrics.

Who am I to blow against the wind?

[icaleod]

wonderful song.

[Jodavis14]

this is the shit and i'm black

[bsjunior]

LOL. All these lyrics are a metaphor for Paul Simon's personal epiphany... on his discovery of the beauty and power in african music and culture. "Graceland".. bless him.

[Clare6728]

And this song is great

[Clare6728]

I know what I know

[Franzhousers]

musicians as a rule dont' usualy use gibberish, exceptions to the rule are the kinks and bob dylan

[TheMintyMuffin]

"Whoo, whoo, whoo, whoo, whoo!"

[tyresmoke]

paul did capitalise, but at the same time exposed a whole style of music to the world, a part of the world with a highly politically charged vibe... his lyrics are great too. I'm southern african and love this regardless

[razvanlp]

we come and we go!

[OMGLOLWTFSTFU]

Ahhhh, I love this song.

[bmxcanada26]

Love this song!

That bassline is so cool :D

[Femfikon]

These drums! These fucking drums!

[sniper12full]

@Femfikon lol

[squazzer]

are the background singers using real words or is that just gibberish? either way i love this song!! <3

[razvanlp]

i don't know... paul simon can tell us that,

man, I Know What I Know... :D

[youvebeenthunderstru]

Pretty certain it's real, an African language of some kind.

[CJAC5]

I genuinely love this music. My mother would listen to this music and would dance her ass off.

[speedyy231]

I love this song.. Paul Simon is a Genius. Whoo, whooo, whoo, whoo, whoo!.

[tuckingfwit]

Most of the music is African and from South African group Lady Black Smith Mambazo. This is typical township music. Simon just capitalised on it.

[rosinka1111]

Best song ever!!

[MisiaG09]

thank you for putting all these songs up here - much appreciated :)

[WednesdayMoonbeam]

[AlexRGravlin]
