Love this song but I prefer the version from the Central Park concert with Bakithi Kumalo accompaning on guitar. It makes it sound more bluesy. Paul is such an incredible songwriter.

Paul Simon Prove again to be one of the Most versatile Musicians in THE WORLD! Thanks for posting.

The drums add a real presence to the music, setting up each part with nice little tension and a relentless feel. The mighty Jeff Porcaro everyone. The whole feel he sets up is hypnotic almost. Beautiful song. Got to love that late 70's moog keyboard sound too. Takes you back for sure.

The romantic haunt of a distant locomotive is one thing, the very real presence of this cacophonous machine right next to us is a very different matter.

@shakeshaftthomas All good songs, but good in a different way - this kind of nails something about human experience in a way that Paul Simon can't be excelled at.
Thanks for posting this. Been waiting for someone to post it.

I heard a tiny bit of this on the radio--yes, the radio :-) --and it was killing me to know the name of the song so I could hear it in full. Now I've found it and boy am I happy. It's quickly become one of my favourite Paul Simon songs.
