April Come She Will

[j0nb0y77]

beautiful



[jsnale]

gooood song !

[ctwingert]

My brother died in August 1985. This song always gets to me.

[WhestbankYT]

Dear TheLUCA1959; don't be ashamed about your tears: I feel the same. Has nothings to do with the age: I'm already 58, and so amaizing Music does it - like a natural rule.

[TheLUCA1959]

Pure poetry....simply astonishing.... it makes me cry every time (and I'm 52...)........

[aeg9297]

I think it's their best song.

[Choefoe]

Art, one of the most beautiful male voices!!!

[RealMusicLover63]

Happy 70th Birthday, Artie!

[rohini2808]

This song is so beautiful, one of my S&G favourites. Great melody and very meaningful. Art is so handsome here, love the way he slants his head at the end and says 'thank you'. This concert is history!!

[jules608123]

@rohini2808 I love how Art ends this song, too. I'm guessing, of course, but this song may have brought back bittersweet memories for him. He seems to be reflecting on something deeply personal, just for a brief moment. And yes, Art is so very attractive here....

[rohini2808]

@jules608123 have watched the entire concert many times, thanks to youtube and for all those who posted the videos. what a wonderful thing to be able to watch this after a lapse of 30 years!! What a charming duo they make, pity i didnt see this earlier. While watching these videos i get so engrossed that i feel as if i am at the concert myself!! Greetings from Sri Lanka

[j0nb0y77]

a love once new has now grown old. 8 words that totally overwhelm me

[MrThomasdrewsen]

A highly underrated song. Particular in this beautiful, slow version. I much prefer it to the original. Hard to understand why this track is seldom found on any S&G compilations

[TheLordHodne]

500.000 attended to the show... Must have been amazing

[mommyal3]

It reminds me of my mama.

[ruskybalboa]

Why the heck is this song not longer??? WHY??

[XxLetsTalkGamesxX]

@ruskybalboa they couldnt just make up more months lol :D

[spjresq313]

@ruskybalboa It only covers May to September?

[Tourniquet88]

@spjresq313 No, listen closely!

[thewk]

i can't stop staring at garfunkel's hair.

[Azuresong]

RIP art garfunkel

[Tremmemis]

@Azuresong Well, Art Garfunkel isn't dead ? 

[Azuresong]

@Tremmemis read the news

[Tremmemis]

@Azuresong I did read them, and I still don't know if he is dead or alive.. So is he dead or ?

[ColieSwt1]

@Azuresong He's alive and well!!

[sandiandstevie]

As a songwriter - I wish that I had written this perfectly simple, haunting, beautiful balad - with lyrics that never grow old - however many times one hears them and a melody that remains etched in one's soul. In my opinion, Paul Simon is the greatest American songwriter of his generation (sorry Bob) and Art Garfunkel has the most beautiful voice - no doubt given to him by the angels.

[michor10]

@sandiandstevie I believe this song was not written by Paul Simon, though. It is actually an old english folk song which he extended a bit.

It expresses that which cannot be expressed with words. It is pure poetry and without a doubt one of the most beautiful things I have ever experienced.

Also, I'm not gay or anything but watching Art singing gives me shivers, man! 10/10

[kemplerbrave]

Always such a class act. :)



[666haso]

Massive gathering of people, with open souls stand and listen, fill their ears with heavenlly music..... magic happenin' in Central Park!!!!

[jules608123]

@666haso Oh how I wish I could have been there that day. I was there in spirit however, I could only watch on the tv. That day opened my eyes to how beautiful Art Garfunkel is to see and and hear. I became a "fan" for the first and only time in my life.

[666haso]

I wish I was there that night in New York!!!!!!!!

[LeRon1955]

Art Garfunkel has the voice of an angel. We won't see the likes of him in a generation.

[rokedetbamidbar]

I'm 54 years old and I still get goose bumps every time I hear this live version from that legendary concert. How wonderful it was to grow up with such timeless music by such wonderful artists.

[nativesun]

BEAUTIFUL!

[kemplerbrave]

I'd love to see the four dopes who voted thumbs down on this clip but they are in some cell right now getting smacked down by prison guards. :) Idiots.

[horsebassoon]

The album version of this was streamed directly into my brain via headphones in my youth.. and the live version has its character too. Incredibly poignant, bittersweet...

[thaler67]

Love that jewfro!

[stoker20]

MAN,, this one just flips my lid!!!

[felsner1]

Fantastic rendition... It may be that Garfunkel didn't contribute with much when it came to lyrics and music, but who could spare a voice like his? Simon's guitar is a whole orchestra, as usual...

[jacktala1]

its a lovely song. simple. maddrakeball take your verbose bullshit over the river and drown.

[sandiandstevie]

One of the most beautiful and profoundly simple songs ever written. Two artists coming together to enhance the experience. Brilliant!

[2departed]

poetic and such a beautiful melody, reminds me of my crush on her when i was 18

[faegrrrl]

This is probably the most beautiful song ever written, sung and preformed. So gentle yet so sad yet so hopeful.

[tooskerat]

wonderlijk mooi.......

[liquorstore888888888]

Paul Simon is one of the greatest songwriters of modern times. It takes true brilliance to express something profound in such a simply way.

[kingbee39]

Art does not get nearly enough credit....who else has an expressive, ethereal voice like that. Plus hes amazing on the 2 part harmony.

[jcracker]

does anyone else get intense nostalgia hearing this song? it reminds me of early adolescence i guess. the feeling is so heavy and profound its unreal

[HeleniusEED]

SON GENIOS!!!!!! SNIF....!

[littlequeen64]

I used to sing the songs from this album,in my room,as a young teen......

[Dancersoyeah]

Me too!

Except I was 9 years old.....

[drorfannkyl]

Ditto

[krisi1]

this song always makes me sad so beutiful, but sad

[lilyofthecity10]

wow that was beautiful. see whatever happened to good music, almost everything played on the radio is crap. we neeed more of this!!! its so beautiful

[rockyracune]

LILY, absolutely! The late 60's offered the music of so many giants. S and G always sound wonderful. This song reminds me of a long-ago girlfriend. Lovely song.

[XxSternchenxX8]

And look at his eyes in the end...love the smile in it :)

[XxSternchenxX8]

This is amazing! Love his guitar play and art´s voice is just brilliant!! Love these guys and their unforgettable beautiful music!! Never will forget...<3

[bensisko16]

absolutely super awesome. One of best songs ever written and the guitar playing is super excellent, not forgetting Art's brilliant singing voice. A real treat.

[KronicOD]

Great song although i am very disappointed Paul didnt sing with Art

that would have been a treat.

[nickladey]

one of the best songs ever writen i have the concert in central park awsom hope some one plays this at my funeral loverly song thanks for posting

[Rosabella63]

As long as there are people who knows how to appreciate good music when they hear it, Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel's great songs would live on forever. Truly GREAT song artists of all time.

[mandrakeball]

It's rare that a song can transcend the gap between generations. Yet here we have it; the simple lyrics speak to us regardless of our age, experience or beliefs. The song points toward our collective experience, that life is all too transient. Like the seasons, loved ones come and go and their absence leaves a profound silence in our lives, reminding us of the fragile nature of our existence; a truly beautiful piece of writing. Paul and Art will one day pass away, but the words remain forever.

[pam101dalmatians]

lord have mercy, you must be like 1 of those professional critics that comment about stuff, but you have done it better than the others i've read

[KronicOD]

mandrakeball your words are as true as they get but i wish the people of "my" generation can hear this beautiful music and look beyond the complete CRAP they call music.

[XxSternchenxX8]

"Paul and Art will one day pass away, but the words remain forever."

...couldn´t have said it better, but imagining they´ll be gone someday hurts a lot!

[Knallpunk]

@mandrakeball

so true..no matter what mood I'm in I cannot listen to this soung without being profoundly touched...pure beauty indeed

[felsner1]

@mandrakeball Well put, man!

[Jackxxxjackxxx]

@mandrakeball shut up and listen to the song.  It's different for all of us. there no room for pretentious bs on youtube

[bonzelite]

wow

this is so special

[somaemy]

This is  incredible!!!

It reminds me of the good old days!!

[NeonLoveChicken1]

i contributed to about a hundred of those views. this song is perfection.

[pinecry]

listening to this makes me feel i'm in nirvana, so peaceful and sublime...

[frog77]

luv this song

[johnnyrockhead]

heavier than metallica black sabbath & lee harvey oswald,all rolled into one.

[lightkeeper08]

this never gets old!

[theordinarygirl]

yeah but - there's no such thing as heaven, so..

[djared41]

Ahahahaha, that was the funniest response I've seen yet on youtube.

[pinecry]

we used to request this at a pub we frequented with my best friend in the philippines. he just died the other day, just like the song-"july she(he) will fly,and give no warning to her(his) flight"...may you rest in peace Ephrem...till we meet again...

[tamsin30natasha]

Just read what June said and it really touched my heart.

I am in the situation enjoying myself with friends now and often wonder how I will feel but music like this always takes you back to the moment. Bless you June!!!!!! xxx

[c64c64c64]

their lyrics are just magical, add that to arts haunted voice and pauls underated guitar work...incredible

[mamckeaney]

Art has a truly angelic voice. I could listen to all of their early hits day and night.

[Alexiztheone]

Omg, beautiful!

[SherryAnn68]

Garfunkel's voice is so perfect and melodic.  Fabulous song...I loved it in The Graduate.

[june1932]

rememberances of my bed sitter in london with friends sharing a smoke,love and peace.we always played thsi when we were ready to hit the astral plane.this was late 60s.i an now 75 and still can hit that time again,and again,and again.i still have 1 old friend that i am in touch with,he is in aussie but we speak every day on web site.some of my old friends have gone to pastures old,but they are still with me in spirit.who needs the physical to be there when it is old friends,they live forever.

[mrbinkybonky]

hi june !sounds like you had a fun time and are a good person with a good heart.if everyone was good and kind the world would be a better place.good to see you still hit the astral plane now and again! aint the internet a freaky thang!!! peace and love

[ghmetz]

Great showcase for Art's mythic voice.

[david8k]

This is music at its best....it'll remain in the hearts of listeners...thank you for posting this song.

[kaironel]

great song

[hchau47828]

This song so beautiful, it really touch my heart.

[worstofthebeast]

i guess the eric johnson cover is better ,

[captainnemo87]

definitely not !!!

[misterbondo]

good shit

[irongate777]

this song touches my heart like no other my father was such a fan i was actually named April!!!!!!!!!

[ITILII]

Paul Simon, America's best songwriter

[anholbek]

This song is so beautiful that I can't describe what I feel when listening to it.."July she will fly.." and it lifts my spirit and embraces my soul. My parents connect these guys to memories that I don't have (I'm just 25), but this is timeless and enters a new generation. Thanks!

[jpg0572]

You've got to learn how to fall, before you learn to fly.

[Bozo379]

When the music was music for the soul.

[missgriffin77]

So calming, and lovely...one of my favorites.

[marcelobendi]

con tan poco, se puede hacer algo bueno

[dermblue]

perfecto

[Anglynn74]

This is a bit slower than the original version, but still a great song off of the Graduate sdtk.

[Aphidboy]

They were "the angels of our better nature." How could we have once been young without them?

RB

[irisings]

I love this song!!

I've put my version on my channel:)

Hope you'll like it!

Iriana

[BLDMLN1007]

absolute genius.lets see somebody come close to that now.

[a2ZeG]

yes, LET's!

[mommababydall]

Perfectly lovely! Thank you SalvadorDalia! 5/5

[irisings]

This song is so beautiful, I love it! I couldn't resist and made an acoustic cover of it! :)

[oneshortkat]

That was just beautiful.

[ADASINHO]

love it !!

reminds me of june 1995 and my first crush :))

[chaosgirl0]

bu şarlıyı ilk defa ingilizce kursunda dinledim =)) daha önce farkedemediğim için üsgünüm

ruhumu dinlendiren bir şarkı =))

[Tunze73]

Ember hogy tudhat így énekelni.... Hihetetlen.

[autumnmyth]

Such a moving piece. Different emotions and sentiments emanate from each line of this magical poetry. Full of in-depth symbolism. Pure and innocent yet complex. Sooooooo love it. Carried me back to those days of enthralling magic in life. Immensely beautiful and captivating. Definitely timeless.

[ralgarte]

How can someone write something like that? It's too beautiful, and Garfunkel's voice seems to have been created to sing this song.

[ADASINHO]

:-)

[SmokeTwoJoint5]

Shame they can't stop arguing about stupid things and continue to make good music together.

[emeraldeyes00]

just breath taking. paul simon is the most brilliant musician.. his lyrics just blow me away and i really think that i was to ever hear an angel sing it would sound exactly like the voice of art garfunkel... there will never be anything that could top this

[hautesa]

I LOOOOOOOVE !

[reclusivesage]

Chills. Thank you

[smappies]

brilliant! Artie is gift from god.

[MVillani1985]

Does this song take place in northern Canada? That's about the only place I know of where fall winds blow chilly and cold in August. Then the "rain" the streams are filled with must be from the partial April thaw that melts the ice and snow in the sun during the day but refreezes at night.

[edhesq]

No, August died already, as she must, before the "autumn winds blow chilly and cold". It's September, remember?

You've never heard of April showers?

Jeeez.

[MVillani1985]

The line that follows each month description describes that month, and if not, wouldn't the "swelled with rain" apply to May then, implying that April really is a snow month there.

Sure everyone's heard of April showers, but in nothern climates they happen in May, and arctic climates they happen in June or not at all.

I still think this song was set in northern Canada.

[edhesq]

Sure, the line that follows each month describes some aspect of the month. August is different because the line describes its demise rather than its essence. So, I think the rain applys to April.

I always thought Paul Simon's "Duncan" was set in Canada:

"So when I reached my prime

I left my home in the maritimes

Headed down the turnpike for New England

Sweet New England"

[MVillani1985]

I think anything before the next month is part of the last month, but I guess there's no real way to find out whether August or September is considered the fall month.

[fart48322]

My absolute favorite song of S&G. The lyrics are perfect as is this perfect song. Everyone will agree this song is too short. You have 2 listen to it 2 or 3 times in a row to get the fix.

[DonCarne]

Yay, a song about a homicidal maniac(August, DIE SHE MUST!).

Actually I really like this song, but I do think its a creepy line.

[elvampire]

I deeply apologize, but this is NOT how you should read the song

[karenshesasilversun]

I believe it is a poetic line meaning that in his heart she must die, not die literally. More, he should let his love for her die. Well, that's how I hear it anyway. By December the love he felt has grown old, in other words, he is over her. I love the irony here. Personally, I prefer May because I feel it is best to remember the best parts of our experiences.

[peaceluvunity]

this music is timeless

[philjquitt]

Please tell me that some poor sod rapper with his oversize pants falling down and his two middle fingers missing, ISN'T doing a cover version of this little gem.

[comeshewill]

Never ever will I let that happen -april

[mrspenn16]

If they did it would be a total abomination of a variation.

[CharlesEdwCT]

One of my all time favorites. What a poignant message, especially September.

[karenshesasilversun]

May it always remain May.

[nayeli2]

omg i mean what i beautiful song sung by a beautiful singer

[lobbsterx1]

brought tears to my eyes thank you

[meenamulloy]

This just sends me flying -- beautiful and Art Garfunkel is so amazingly beautiful. Thank you!

[crispalicious]

sorry but what is this? no offence meant to anyone, im just asking :(

[jackwhiskey]

This is a history lesson. A long time ago, on the third rock from the sun, there were two men known as Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel who sang lovely songs in two part harmony and counter-point. One of those songs was "April, Come She Will". Enjoy! And thanks for posting this.

[jabrother]

Well said - history lesson!

[ctwomey]

@crispalicious It's real music. I understand completely your inability to recognize it, with today's noise producing "artists" topping the charts daily.

[hurribear]

Beautiful, my eyes fill with tears with the memories. Thanks a million

[benniebenbenny]

If my mind serves me well, this short tune was part of the soundtrack for "The Graduate". When I first heard it, especially in the context within the movie, I felt that this song epitomized the show more than "Mrs. Robinson" or "Sounds of Silence" ever did.

[wftjet]

Yes this song is in the Graduate. It plays during that montage of Ben passing the summer months doing nothing but swimming in his parents' pool and having an affair with Mrs. Robinson.

[Tatterdamellion]

No, that's "Sounds of Silence"

[wftjet]

Both songs are played in that montage...first Sound of Slience, then April come she will...when the second song ends Ben does the classic swim jump on the raft quickly cutting away to Ben "falling" on top of Mrs. Robinson in bed.

[TheTatterdemallion]

Ah, yes, I remember

[mountainmmama]

Woah woah Art's a fox

[aaaredskin]

This is as good a live concert performance as ever....nobody today can sound this good live...

[garfunkelsimonno1]

Yes I agree with everyone. Sooooooooo Beautiful

[tequila1mockingbird]

after all these years, this is still so beautiful....

[tequila1mockingbird]

beautiful...!

[Elyndial]

this song is so beautiful that the crowd remains silent although there are lotta people here !!!

[eclipticalmerc]

I love this song

[elpelolalo]

great...

i love this song....

[jowkwryter]

Angelic. Man that guy can sing!

[2hot2spot]

Agreed again. Beautiful and soothing.

[picarddelta]

Agreed.  Absolutely lovely.

[picarddelta]

Lovely...what a magical concert.

[spaceman24]

Yes, it was a magical evening, for I was there among the million people listening to great harmony. great memories.
