~My parents loved these guys and so do I. I remember watching the VHS of this concert with them so many times. This song means so much to me. My mother died when I was 6 on August 5th, 1986. As far as I'm concerned, this song was done in her honor.~ <3
I can't say why but this is my favorite song by these guys. I think the studio version is absolutely great and this would be but it's not loud enough. way too short a song .. there are other months, you know?
God, I was there. First visit in NY and the US, and I just walked right into Central Park. Yes, the loose joints, it is all true. Wonderful atmosphere, peace in the air, and a huge crowd, unforgettable. My parents at the time preferred to go on the top of the World Trade Center, I was bit scared of that building. What would happen if this thing came down? But at that time, nobody would have thought that. Peace was in the air, peace. Thanks Paul, thanks Art. I had the time of my life.
Art, if you are reading this, I just want you to know your music has meant so much to me through the years. The first time I heard your voice, I was 12 years old. The song Bridge Over Troubled Water stopped me in my tracks, literally. To this day, (40 years later), your voice still moves me and brings me to tears. To me, there could be no voice in heaven or earth that could sound more beautiful or move me the way yours does. May God bless and keep you always!
I was born in 1981 and love Simon and Garfunkel. However, there's no need to shoot down music today. Every era has its beautiful music - you just need to know where to look :)
I think this is one of my most favorite song of theirs. How I wish I could have been at this concert :(
I feel so blessed to have grown up with the likes of these two and so many others of our time, when music was such a different experience than it s today. I almost feel sorry for those who came after us. My children LOVE the music of my generation. I suspect our grandchildren will also.
rockyracune..The songs from this era have yet to be matched. Ballads like this define the lives of many of us who lived those times. Maybe this generation will surprise us with something that comes close.
I doubt there will ever be music this good again. The record companies are too selfish to care about releasing good music today- and trust me there is a lot of it. They're own concerned with what will sell to the public- an audience more ignorant, uninformed, and possibly unintelligent than ever- who will never again be able to recognize the difference between beautiful music and crap that was slapped together in a few minutes to make money.
This is one of the prettiest songs ever recorded. Even now, it is so much better than the crap that passes as music nowadays. Ludakris or Simon and Garfunel?
Who cares what they look like. Why worry about such meaningless crap? If you went blind would it matter what people looked like? The music is unbelievably beautiful, that's all that matters.
What can I say to add to what all you very intelligent, discerning people have already said. These two were two halves of a whole. Paul is an unparalleled modern day musical genius and Art has the voice of an angel. We are so lucky to have grown up with the incredible music they gave us. I have never tired of hearing them.
Sorry, this is unrelated and I don't mean to attack Art, but what's up with his hair? He's clearly not balding, since nowadays he has the same hairstyle, but if he's not balding then why is his hair so far up?
HolzCozz=No Art Garfunkel cant be gay,hes been happpily married forever to one woman.But you are known as the worlds biggest Pole Smoker with the gag reflexes that used to make even Linda Lovelace blush.
I didn't mean likely weekly obviously. I'm not fucking stupid. What I meant is if they got together often for reunion concertsm possibly in Central Park. Apprarently you guys found it funnier to make me look like an idiot. Thanks.
you can see Garfunkel's pensivity as he completes the song, as if he is hurting with the lyrics; and he quietly thanks the audience for that moment together.
is that you Paul?!???!?!?! PLEASE STFU. Artie is a beautiful man, quit being so damned petty Paul/Paul fan. Everyone knows Paul wrote the damned thing. But Art makes it come alive. HE makes it sound beautiful. What don't you understand about the fact that SIMON and GARFUNKEL wouldn't be without BOTH?!?! They're two parts of a whole. Jeez.
He wrote some of the words, building it around the rhyme. The lines with seasons in them "April come she will. May she will stay, June she'll change her tune," etc.,are from the original rhyme, but as far as I know, the lines between them are Simon's. Kind of like how in Scarborough Fair/Canticle, the "canticle" was written by him.
Also, Paul Simon's lines change the meaning of the song, as I believe the original song is actually about a cukoo bird (as someone else already said).
I think it's interesting that this song is about, as reclusivesage put it, "the fleeting nature of a lover's interest" yet the mood of the music never changes.
Ever since I first heard these guys back in the 60s I have been bowled over by the quiet,subtle,beautiful combo of words and melody.There will never be anyone like S&G
someone sang this to me on guitar back in 1971 before he left to go to uni he made me cry as he was so cool with his goodbye,I carried a torch for him a long time.
Reminds me of Spring...the return of the swallow and cuckoo to Europe, the end of Winter. Unfortunately, the Spring fades away and the swallows leave again. The mayfly lives for one day in Spring and dies on the lakes of Ireland. So, Paul, what lyrics,what guitar playing what a song..and Art, such a voice. This song of Spring and love will live forever.
Does anyone have video of "Something so Right" with ART GARFUNKEL on vocal. They did it at Auckland that way in world tour. The number stole the show!
I am sure their relationship and friendship is one of the most important one in their lives.they did music together wich has salways been full of Love.songs that still find new hearts..nothing else matters to me as a musiclover.
Hello people, this is a great song, but if you really want to see and hear "beautiful, please watch "irisings, perform this song, it's very, very, nice, and no, I don't know this girl, it;s just a great performance,,,,, I just think that people would love her,,,
and thats unfortunately why they hated each others guts - both resented the other for what they didnt have instead of just being glad about their seperate talents
they havent patched it up when they perform even recently they dont ever interact or even look at each other at all the entire time theyre onstage Its purely business
