My husband has very advanced Parkinson's. He loves to listen to you, Josh. With this piece he cried. Thank you for helping him feel--through your beautiful music--what he can't verbalize.

His voice has such a great tone. Soft, smooth and without strain. A mix of Paul Simon and James Taylor. What a talent.

I don't know why but Josh Turner + telecaster + a Paul Simon tune = a home run every time. Leah adds something pretty special too!

When Leah goes to the low harmony in the last verse it was divine. I smiled and related when you see her realize she is not "done," and still had to sing the outtro. 2:43

Am 46 years old and watch each one of your videos as a child !!! Just beauty ! Bravo...Best regards from France

I know this is coming from a guy with a Nickelback profile pic, but don’t underestimate the effect your music has on people. This was just absolutely beautiful.

Unbelievable re-arrangement of this great Paul Simon song, which leans on the tune's medieval antecedents.

This is one of the all-time greatest pieces of American music, and Joshua and Leah do it justice and more.

Another gem, Josh. Just gorgeous. The chorale on guitar was mesmerizing, and hearing Leah's voice on top of it was sublime. Don't know how this could be improved upon. How the heck can you play such tricky parts yet sing so strongly at the same time. Thanks for this.....

What a damn genius that Johann Sebastian Bach was, giving so much material for today’s geniuses to thrive upon.

You two have soul clearing voices. What a treat. Thank you!

The talent it takes to do an arrangement of a PAUL SIMON tune and actually make it better.

Whenever I had a Josh-Turner-frenzy and binged a ton of his videos, THIS HERE is always the one I come to at the end. It is very cleansing (apart from beatiful). The Bach-guitar, the special song and the very pure voices of Josh and Leah are just a combination is seem not to get tired of. Thank you!

So here you are..playing the most exquisite guitar...and singing as close to Paul Simon’s mellifluous tones but adding your own cadence,with a sweet lady singing in clear voice and it’s beyond beautiful...Thank you ♥️🇨🇦

This blew me away! The tones Leah produces are hauntingly beautiful and Josh's guitar arrangement is stunning. Brilliant interlude with Bach!

Bach would love this as would Paul Simon. Such exquisitely beautiful singing voices and that guitar accompaniment is absolutely sublime!

I have enjoyed this video everyday for at least 7 days since I discovered it. This is a mesmerizing performance. Thank you Leah and Josh.

I'm thrilled when I find a new post from you, Josh. Every single time I listen to something new you have created, I realize that at the end, I literally am not breathing. I remind myself to breathe & it is good ! Not many artists literally take your breath away. Thanks for sharing your passion & please keep 'em coming.

Josh and friends are doing the American Songbook a great service, by bringing it up to date with remarkable musicianship and taste. Paul Simon's masterpiece belongs up there with the very best. I got shivers listening to Josh and Leah perform it.

This brings me back to the good times in my life... words can't describe the emotions and feelings that this song does for me...

Every time I watch a video of Josh’s I think, how can he be so talented and how could he ever be any better than this...and he always is. This rendition of a beautiful song, brought it to heights at which only Angels can fly. Leah’s voice is of an Angel, and I felt a deep and sacred beauty in this recording. Wonderful beyond my feeble words.

Listened to many of your tunes Josh but I keep coming back to this one. Wonderful !

Once again, I'm left with goosebumps by Josh and his amazingly talented friends. PLEASE come and tour Australia when the world allows it.

Just beautiful. Josh, I think your voice gains more maturity every time I hear a new recording. An excellent selection for the two of you! Bravo!

Leah's voice is mesmerising and we had the usual level of outstanding musicianship from Joshua

A beautiful synthesis of Bach, Paul Simon and Josh's talent!

The more I hear, the more I wonder. Josh is possessed of the kind of supreme talent given to very few. Facility meets infinite delight. It is extraordinary.

This haunts me.. I come back over and over. I am at once soothed and unsettled. Then this takes days to leave my head every quiet moment. What a song Paul wrote, but man you master it.

Kudos! Miss, not only are you beautiful, truly, your voice matches your countenance, simply angelic. Thank you both for sharing your talent and neither of you require auto-tune! Brilliant!

I am not an American but I have become quite emotional listening to the wonderful interpretation of this beautiful song by these two young people . Well done guys ,superb!

Just revisited this track, as I do with so many of Josh's offerings, and had a good relisten to that incredible fusion of Bach and Paul Simon, with Leah's amazing voice - this is the work of a musical genius, who deserves to be much more appreciated than just on here.

Josh - I'm continuously amazed and entertained by your guitar prowess and your videos. Thanks!

I am 58 Josh and Leah but I am very happy for your rendering of the song of my youth. Just subscribing to your channel from Cebu, Philippines.

It is so rare when we see a talent so vast it touches every genre and every generation so deeply. God has smiled on a young man and with all his hard work and determination added His blessing on his life and talents. Josh, you are special beyond all we know or can say. Thank you for touching all of us so deeply. You are loved and appreciated!

The volume of your exquisite work, both solo and collaborative, defies logic. It is genius ....not to mention your appealing demeanor and apparent humility. Can't get enough.

Lovely rendition. Josh always adds an extra dimension - here, playing the guitar harmonization in baroque style to bring out the origin of the melody: J. S. Bach's chorale "Oh Sacred Head Now Wounded". I've known both the Paul Simon song and the Bach chorale for decades but never made the connection until now. Leah's church-choir vocalization completes the package.

Every time I watch one of Josh's videos I'm in awe at how talented he is, and the wonderful people he surrounds himself with make me smile.

It just doesn't get any better than this. Just beautiful!

Repetedly came back to your rendition of that wonderful song ... "my soul rose unexepectedly ... smiled reassuringly" ... captured the atmoshpere of the whole song so well in your arrangement. Thank you for sharing your talent with us!

She has a sweet gentle voice.

Brilliant vocals by Leah. Josh never disappoints, superb picking. Top shelf music!

Superb. Josh, I can't explain the effect of your music. Makes my vision blurry and my throat choked up.

This by far my most favorite Paul Simon song because of its lyrical content.It could have been written for the tragic event of 911, or any tragedy. But it's time is very reminiscent of a Bach signature. I have tried learning to play this song but the chord changes are difficult for my playing..maybe someday I will get it down.If anyone thinks Paul Simon is just your everyday person on guitar,think again.Thanks again Josh Turner,splendid.

Very impressive. Josh's voice and the arrangement are such a great match for Paul Simon songs.

I love the Bach harmonization - such a wonderful blend classic to new. That's why it's timeless. Josh, I love that you keep refining, searching and exploring the possibilities because that is what the "gift" is all about, to keep giving. And having Leah accompany on this is a wise choice with her angelic voice.

Beautiful... Great job! Love the sweetness , simplicity and talent. Thank you.

Love Leah Taub's voice

Everything wonderful... singing, guitar, arrangement, recording... and the beautiful vocal of Leah at the end. Stunning.

I’m 71 and have sadly neglected playing my guitar for some years now. I’m going to open its case; dust it down and get on with it. Josh, you may be young but in addition to your incredible talent, you’re inspirational. Thank you.

Josh Turner + Paul Simon = Perfect match. That last "Uuuu-part" gave me the goosebumps too. We have a hymn in Denmark on that tune: "Befal du dine veje"

Leah you have a voice like an angel! ;)

I know, I am a few years behind - but I have loved everything you do, and when you bring another great talent along, it's even better ! Thanks to both you kids ! You just killed it ! For those that wonder how they can do this, notice, they both can sight read music and that alone means they are way deeper into music than just watching videos on you tube... :) Go learn how music came to be as far back in centuries as you can and then you will really see how this unlocks so much more for you today and forever, going forward.. There are some great Masters of music in the 17th century that did things that are not even able to be done today.. Thank you, Josh and Leah !! You two = Superb !!!

I'm sitting in my car at the edge of a vast sand dune field in the desert watching this, bawling my eyes out.... wondering what's gone wrong. GREAT cover, timely af... and 10x as beautiful ❤

Leah's face at the page turn. 😄. She seems like a fun cookie. Awesome as always Josh. Rock the world and tour out to the Midwest someday.

I watched this movie now at least 25 times. Still I am moved to the bone when I see it. Josh, fantastic. Also you girl, very talented, need to hear much more of you!!

Josh, your voice and pitch on this song are absolute perfection. Do more Paul Simon please. Much more.

Beautifully played, sung and arranged! Heavenly! Made cry like a little child since it's one of my Paul Simon's favorite tune. Thank you for the lovely service to humanity! God bless you guys!

A lovely baroque versioning of Simon's tune, with Bach offered in? Really lovely, and I thank you.

This is one of a few from his solo career that I can't help thinking would have been a natural for S&G. This duet perfectly captures how it might have worked for them.

God!!! That was beautiful. Josh and Leah please do more of this. Josh you are perfect.

A lovely version. Love Leah's voice as well.

Back listening again !! so nicely done...

Leah Taub and Art Garfunkel both possess the voice of an angel! Beautifully done.

Guys! What a great job!! I'm old enough to remember Paul Simon's classic...and ode inspired by Nixons White House...and NOW...the words are more profound than ever. The second half of this song makes me cry....'The Statue of Liberty sailing out to sea...you can't be forever blessed...this is the perfect song for today's time.

Awesome. Gave me chills. You are a true artist and I appreciate all that you continue to share with us!

Josh you sound less like Paul Simon and more like James Taylor, and I mean that in the best possible way. The both of you sound so good together. I've watched many of your vids: they're absolutely top-notch. So good. Don't ever stop.

I didn’t think finger-picking would work well with a Telecaster but I was sure wrong about that. Gorgeous work, both of you.

Wonderful vocals. Plus I love the tone of the guitar. Woks perfectly with your vocals.

Just wanted to say thank you Josh. Your covers keep me going throughout the weeks. Top cover again x

Glad that You mention J.S. Bach for the harmonization. Paul Simon, whom I adore, omits mentioning Bach.

I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve watched this 😭❤️

Superb.....a joy to listen to. A melody by Bach....adapted by Paul Simon.....and now adapted further by you two.....it’s how great music evolves.

Fun fact: the tune is from the hymn "O Sacred Head Now Wounded", itself is set to "Herzlich tut mich verlangen", which is from the Bach St. Matthew Passion. Paul Simon lied-it's a German tune!

If I close my eyes and listen, I could almost believe it was Paul singing with a bit of a cold making his voice deeper.

Unbelievable ! Sung and played so beautiful. Josh, you are a musical genius. I often listen video's of you. Your voice is also getting better, deeper and lower.

I still come back months later to listen to this. It's a song that has found its time.

Every time Josh uploads I have a new favourite song

Wonderful work Josh and way to go Leah, that was just beautiful. I was moved it was so wonderful, thank you. ...and just think, no trucks or trains or busses.

That very short part where you both sing together is perfection. I wish you had added the last verse, too.

I love you Josh Turner, you have a great future and inspire me as one of few young talents. Keep it up!

Phenomenal. A rare interpretation that honors the original and even adds to its original intention in a compelling way. Wow.

A lovely cover of a great great Paul Simon song

Absolutely fabulous...... You put all the celebrity, big names in the shade.....

Leah is awesome! She was great in the “Helplessly Hoping” video; glad I found this one too!

Thank you for sharing your amazing talent. Very nice........

Thanks, you two, for this beautiful version! It really touched me.

Josh´s voice is very good for covering Paul Simon, wonderful sounds of you both!

How gorgeous! I didn't know I'd heard St. Matthew's Passion before until you go to the very end. It was definitely worth the work you put into getting those masterful harmonies onto the guitar! And pretty cool that Paul Simon had the outline of them to begin with.

OK this arrangement was just amazing. I loved your harmonization of this song. Really well done.

Excellent! You make music I want to hear over and over. Thanks!!

Stunning. From the giggle to the end. Stunning.

Beyond music... a public service keeping these tunes alive!

Not sure if you read your comments but I'll write one just in case. I found your channel today and you and all your featured guests are simply brilliant. I have no other words, but may God keep blessing you.

Webster Dictionary definition of The Number Eleven : When Josh Turner performs on a Scale of 1 to 10 with 10 being perfect.

Great guitar playing, lovely vocals, beautiful harmonies! One of my favorite songs from S&G. Greetings from Norway! :)

I didn't know that an electric guitar, like the telecaster, could be played in this manner. It is unique I believe. Usually, this type of music is played on an acoustic. Tremendous, just tremendous.

Lovely job, especially the allusion to the greatest piece of music ever written.

I keep finding myself listening to this over the past few days, an earworm for sure, and just sublime pleasure.

Fantastic interpretation and execution. American Tune is being based on the melody line from Bach's chorale from "St. Matthew Passion."

An Island in American turmoil. Thank you to both of you.
