travellin`boy - paul williams

[DotErnst]

Amazing...I am definitely on a Paul Williams kick right now, but am still trying to find "Live Goes On' on youtube...any help? I have searched everything!

[Philpotts24]

Wonderful, like all his songs. Even better than Mr Garfunkle's version, which I have loved forever :-)

Oldies but goodies

Since Paul wrote the song, he knows exactly how to express it. The West Coast group, Punch, also did a sensational cover of Paul's song on their debut lp, "Punch".

There's something about his voice that fit to this song. He sound sad... i like it.

Art Garfunkel's voice has much more angelic tones, and embues this song with a great deal of sensitivity.

BUT I think that Paul Williams sings the lyrics like... when you're waiting at the bustop alone reminiscing about days long past, on a grey rainy day...

Definitely sadder-sounding, and it works beautifully.

@michaelgadsby Garfunkel's voice is too angelic for this song, Paul Williams on the other hand sings like a loner who smokes and drinks too much (and has never taken singing lessons) with the deep sadness....

@maggie2go

Oh I agree entirely :) Williams' version is very melancholy.

i have always loved this song.. since my college days.. a song which tells something about me and my life.. hu hu hu ...

[HenryFussy]

an awesome songwriter, but I can sing as well as he can. I prefer Garfunkel's version

thanks for posting this one.. i love it..

[maggie2go]

His voice has a certain loneliness in it. I think he sang it real and simple, nailing the exact sentiment. I love the song and I listened to Art Garfunkel's cover for years which Art did it with great technique. But it sounded too much a showmanship of his singing than presenting the song in its true colors.

[yshee1115]

@maggie2go i agree

[maggie2go]

thank you for the upload....a beautiful song and Paul sang it just the way it was supposed to be.
