I love this man. Anyone who wants to figure out how to start songwriting just needs to watch this. It's an honest de-mystifying blueprint. Genius.

[fricco1994]

paul is the best songwriter on earth!! ...such a nice interview =)

[bearkt]

Oh, that's a song alright!

[UpsidedownCrayons]

I dislike the person who disliked this! D:<

[TheTigress1962]

He seems more at ease with a guitar in hand....

[todd11561]

The guitar looks like a Martin OM 42 or OM 45.

wow paul simon is 70

[oldsalt97]

Amazing man...Just amazing.....Makes it all seem so easy.....

I understand what he`s saying about songwriting but the problem is that people dont know what they like, they only like what they know. His later songs have to much of an improvised jazz sound for me. His early songs may be simpler but are far superior both lyrically and melodically.

@kvetch23 yeah, similar melody to 'murder suicide meteor slave'

[poeticclown]

I love how this went from an interview to a monologue.
