This song always makes me cry, it always has. Knowing that there is someone there for me (my soul-mate) and vice-versa, this song has so much more meaning than before....and Art's vocals are so touching, like he is singing it to a close friend, even me. Beautiful, personal and profound!
God blessed us when he put this song in the hands of Simon and Garfunkel. You see, we are never alone, because Our Heavenly Father is always with us. This song is so spiritual and it truly makes me feel closer to the Lord
When my sister got married our neighbor sang this song and he sang it almost as good as Paul. There wasn't a dry eye in the church. It still makes me tear up.
A person like me, distrustful, barbaric, Demonic, really... listens to this song, and suddenly, I feel like I really might :"like" other human beings... Like I want to "help" them... reach out to them and give them a big hug...
@Paganguy1 I think that you are probably not demonic or barbaric you may be distrustful but this song touches you because you want to trust and be trusted, you want meaningful relationships with people but for most people today life lacks meaning and therefore they cannot find it even when its right in front of them.
But your comment was hilarious especially the last part "Then the song ends" lol, chin up my brother.
@Paganguy1 The problem, Paganguy1, is that every song ends. And so do we. So why not think of this as a sort of anthem (at least among your friends)? What harm?
I asked my dad for a good song feeling in a mood for oldies, When he mentioned this my first thought was "Oh God, what's this rubbish". I'm glad I listened to it now, It's beautiful.
I know this beautiful song, which a lump to my throat when I simply read the title, was written in Europe, does anyone know where? I'd really love to know as I had a picture taken with my son when he was very young in front of a beautiful bridge, Derbyshire I think it may have been, and someone in the pub said this song was written with this bridge in mind. Can anyone confirm please? Thank you :)
watched a programme last night about Simon and Garfunkel..and it wasn't written in Europe. It was originally just 2 verses and Paul wanted to keep it that way but was persuaded by Art and their arranger to write the 3rd verse...which he did in the studio. That was a first and only for Paul, he usually only wrote at home.
got to be one of the best songs ever written. such intensity and sensitivity. i adore the very quiet high notes that art gurfunkel articulates so delicately. the rest of his voice is warm and strong. it think its fair to describe this as a masterpiece.
One of the most brilliant songs of all time...moves me and makes me want to cry every time, but in this particular video at 1:30 Art Garfunkel looks like Larry! Where's Moe and Cury?
Tengo 60 años y desde que la escuché por primera vez, sentimientos encontrados me invadieron, ya que es un himno a la amistad; del amigo que entrega todo sin pedir nada a cambio, además de transportar mi imaginación a donde deseé. Fabulosa y extraordinaria.
Art Garfunkel had an angelic voice. Could have been a member of "The Vienna Boys Choir." And his partner Paul Simon is one of the greatest lyricists in pop music. No wonder this album won 4 Grammies in 1970. The best song Simon and Garfunkel ever recorded. A spiritual song about a friend or God, carrying another during their hour of need. What a masterpiece.
At the time of writing this, there were 7 people who claimed to dislike this beautiful piece of music. In my heart, I feel that it was for these people that this song was written.
My Dad had this album on a "8 track" tape (remember them?) he was a lorry driver when I used to go with him on trips this album was always on, My Dad died this year 2011 everytime I hear Simon & Garfunkel I think of the good times we had together, I miss you so much Dad love and miss you always xxxxxx
Answer The Question Who Voted This The Number 1 Song Of The 1970's The DJ's Who Were On The Air During The 70's Complied A List Of The Most Requested Songs During The 1970's Then In December Of 1979 The Top 100 Songs Of The Decade Were Played Across The Country And This Peticular Song Was The Top Vote Getter On AM, FM, FM Classical Staitions Across The Entire Country. I Do Remember All Through The 70's You Would Hear This Song Everywere Even In Doctors Offices. Stay Cool And Enjoy The Music
I first heard this in January 1970 on a BBC television program called 'Disco 2' The images that accompanied it were of a stormy sea and in black and white. I thought it was wonderful then and the years have done nothing to alter that opinion. Wonderful !
I think it should have been voted the Number one song of all time. To me it has the same status as a Hymn, I am sure so many people have found so much comfort from the words and the music is second to none, it is extremely spirituall.
What memories this brings back for me. I graduated from high school in 1970 and this was one of the choices that our senior class had to vote on for "our song". I knew then that this was an amazing classic, but the rest of the class voted for some stupid song that nobody can even remember now.
Wow. Just wow. If this song does not hook you, I dont know what will. Artie's voice just calms you and his smile warms you. I don't know of anyone in the world like these 2 men. Thank you SO much Paul and Artie for your music. It's truly a blessing. God bless Paul and Artie!
