Still can't hear it without crying after almost 50 years

One of the best songs and performances of all time.

They are both still alive. Their catalog is huge.

My mother wasn't a religious person by any means, but she said this song always reminded her of how Jesus loves us....

one of the most beautiful songs ever written

Watching younger generations react to songs like this is hilarious. The look on his face as Art gets started. That's called true talent sir hope you enjoyed it.

If ever you get to hear an angel sing, he might sound almost as good as Art Garfunkel! One of the best songs ever!

This was played at my brother's funeral in 1971. You're correct. It has become a hymn.

This is a PERFECT song. NO ONE will ever do it better!

Simon and Garfunkel were more than a rock folk duo. They are legendary and talented beyond reason. Never had a bad song in my opinion. As far as I’m concerned Bridge over Trouble Water is in my top three best songs every written.

Paul Simon is the songwriting genius and Art Garfunkel [on the right in the screen pic] is the angelic voice that hits those notes that give you goosebumps!

The song gives one the You'll never walk alone deep deep meaning,

Garfunkel sings like angels!

One of the most beautiful songs ever recorded. This song still brings my mother to tears. Decades later.

The Boxer, and The Sound of SIlence are probably their most popular songs, Cecilia is good, and one of my favorite Paul Simon songs, Me and Julio Down by the Schoolyard.

This song is a soaring tribute to love and friendship. Art Garfunkel’s voice is pure perfection!!!!!

Art has the voice of an Angel....

Paul Simon, the short dark haired guy wrote the song and Art Garfunkel, the tall fair one sang this. Angelic vocals

I love your reaction to this video. We subscribers can actually see the very moment you start grasping the meaning of the song, and it is almost SPIRITUAL the way you reacted. Another classic I was blessed to grow up with. Thanks for reacting to this song and keeping them classics alive!

It's marvelous yet thrilling that after 54 years since this immortal classic was first released, it touches the hearts of those who listen for the first time in 2024.

Just cried my eye's out listening to this song again..It was my mum's Funeral song 5 year's ago..

GREATEST SONG OF THE 1970'S....NO DOUBT

Wow. The memories. I grew up in 60 70 . I'm do lucky.

What a wonderful reaction! Yes, Simon & Garfunkel are legends!! I like all their songs but one of my favorite, least requested songs is "I Am A Rock."

It's a hymn, Devin, and I believe Paul Simon touched The Divine when he wrote it. I'm moved every single time I hear it.

They were Tom and Jerry very early in their career, when they were teenagers. They met and started making music in grade school. Huge catalog may be an understatement. Check out Sound of Silence live from the Concert in Central Park. Other suggestions: The Boxer, America, Cecilia.

The Boxer, Cecilia, Mrs Robinson - it goes on and on.

This is such an emotional song, just beautiful....Angelic...Thank you, Amen

That beautiful piano part is done by Larry Knechtel, part of the Wrecking Crew, a group of session musicians responsible for some of the best backing tracks of the 60s and 70s.

makes me feel really old to know there are adults that have never heard this before. Every song on that album is worthy of a reaction. They were in the process of breaking up and did so shortly after the release of this album.

This won Grammy for Record of the Year and Song of the Year. Billboard ranked it #1 song for 1970. The Boxer is a great "serious" song, and Cecilia is a great "fun" song. My favorite is Scarborough Fair.

I really want to learn the piano for this song😌 Please do Simon and Garfunkel’s “Sound of Silence” and “Cecilia”

You won’t regret this rabbit hole.

One of the most beautiful songs of all time ! My mother's favorite song & we ended her memorial service playing this song

“This sounds like gospel.” Paul Simon, the songwriter, thought so too. That’s cool you heard it too.

These two had great harmony.

Your Aunt has great taste🥰🥰. My parents had this on the record player alot. Love it🥰

Art's voice(the one with the curly hair) is that of an Angel. I know it's been said so many times,but it is true. This is one of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard.

Back in the early 70s when this first came out it was one of my Daddy's favorite songs. I can remember him singing with the radio in the car and singing it in the house. He was a student preacher at the time. Now he's in his 80s. He retired about 10 years ago and still preached for a few years. He can't now because of his health. Thanks for the great memories.

This is a gospel song that Simon wrote after listening to the Swan Silvertones. He considers it the greatest song he ever wrote. It is.

My favorite Simon and Garfunkel song still today!!!!

I love how you feel the music-in my opinion that’s the best way to digest it. Peace Devin!

I’ve asked my family to have this as my funeral song.

Beautiful reaction. This album was on heavy rotation in our house during the 70s. I lost a dear friend of 28 years last December and she was truly our bridge over troubled water, in every way a person can be. I will miss her for the rest of my life.

Goosebumps galore!! 👍👍👍

Art Garfunkel was once married to a lady whose father was a physician in a group of doctors in Nashville.

This song was the culmination of five albums of genius collaboration that changed pop music forever. Sound of Silence, I Am a Rock, Kathy's Song, America, Hazy Shade of Winter, Mrs. Robinson, Cloudy, A Poem on the Underground Wall, For Emily Wherever I May Find Her, The Dangling Conversation, The Boxer, Keep the Customer Satisfied, Frank Lloyd Wright, Why Don't You Write Me, My Little Town... So very hard to go wrong, so many timeless hits.

Thank you for sharing your spiritual inspiration. I have never enjoyed watching someone as much as I have enjoyed watching you. God bless!

The most amazing duo- I grew up listening to them. You will enjoy discovering them!!❤🎼

There are exactly 2 artists who I have purchased their entire discography: Simon and Garfunkel and Patsy Cline

One of the best vocal duo there's ever been or ever will be. Pick any of their hits to react to and you can't go wrong. Their harmonies are sublime. Paul Simon is a legendary song writer and Art Garfunkel has one of the most angelic voices ever. Songs I recommend for you are The Sound of Silence, The Boxer, I Am a Rock, America, Homeward Bound, Cecelia, Mrs Robinson and Old Friends.

Great reaction! This song always makes me tear up. It's beyond amazing!

Art Garfunkel has the voice of an angel!! Simon wrote the songs and Artie sang them!!

Simon and Garfunkel have an extensive and varied body of work. They almost remained unknown until a producer, without their knowledge or permission, hired studio musicians and turned their acoustic song "Sounds of Silence" into the new (at the time) folk rock sound. Although they were angry at first they could not argue with success as the song went to the top of the charts. For a time they stayed within the folk rock genre with songs like "Homeward Bound" and "I Am A Rock" but they always maintained their own path thanks to Paul Simon's songwriting ability. This was during the mid 60s when music had taken both an intellectual as well as a psychedelic turn and certain artists like Dylan, Simon, the Beatles, and a few others became the unofficial spokespersons of that generation. By 1966 Simon and Garfunkel were producing less traditional folk rock music and started examining some of the deeper aspects of life with their albums "Parsley Sage Rosemary and Thyme" and "Bookends." When they performed the soundtrack for the 1967 movie The Graduate (which was one of the first movies where you cheered for the anti hero) they were in the middle of the culture at that time, and their success justified the freedom they had taken to write and perform the songs they wanted to do. By the time Bridge Over Troubled Water was released many things had changed in the culture and they each wanted to pursue solo efforts. They both had successful solo careers but like the Beatles, their solo efforts didn't have the same chemistry as when they worked together and their 1981 reunion concert in Central Park is a testament to that statement. Most people today naturally want to react to the songs that were popular but there are musical gems and treasures in all of their albums and if you want to see what the intellectual side of the 1960s was about, Simon and Garfunkel are right there at the top of the list.

Great reaction! Such a great message and not just in the song. One of the best reactions I have seen in a while.

REAL artists, real music, real lyrics and all timeless! That's why we're listening to them 65 years later.

Paul Simon is genious !!!

This song has always made me cry and lifted me up at the same time. I loved your reaction. There is definitely something spiritual about this song. Beautiful message.

Art Garfunkel has one of the most underrated voices ever. All of Simon and Garfunkel's music is amazing. The Boxer is my 2nd favorite. Bridge Over Trouble Water is my favorite song of all time.

Have a listen to the Boxer. Probably the most amazing song ever.

God Bless Aunt Kathy, This is what life is about

Paul Simon is that good a songwriter and Art Garfunkel that good a singer and this is their epic song. A generational song. This is like going to a symphonic orchestra concert with choir.

You nailed it. These 2 were the voices of my youth. If you want to hear one of the most beautiful love songs written in the past 60 years, check out "For Emily, Whenever I May Find Her."

The BOXER next🔥💯

Art Garfunkel has one of the most hauntingly beautiful voices of all time. I love when you said it sounds like gospel music. I was just thinking Jesus is our bridge over troubled water. 😇

Love your reaction!! The voice of God shines through this song. Paul Simon is an inspired lyricist and composer, phenomenal, then combined with ArtGarfunkel's angel voice. It's pure gold. It's heaven. Your spiritual sensibilities are spot on! Thank you for that! 😌💜

Bridge over troubled waters' was No1 in the UK pop music charts., I think for weeks. For us this was their greatest number song.

Do you want to hear something more impressive than that? Listen to the three song video of bridge over troubled water, the boxer and the sound of silence done live when they were in their 70s… Absolutely amazing

ON March 21, 2013, the song was added to the “NATIONAL RECORDING REGISTRY in the LIBRARY OF CONGRESS , for “Long Term Preservation “ Between 1965-1968, it charted in the Top 5 songs, in 10 different countries and made it up the charts in an additional 4 countries. 📻🙂

Watching you watch this brought me so much joy I have been in avery dark place For a very long time. God spoke to me one day in prayer and told me to listen to all songs as songs of praise and then this song came on. He later told me that it was his love song to us and the song was downloaded to Paul Simon. There is another video on KZfaq that actually later confirmed this Paul Simon said he did not know where this song came from it just appeared in his head. The song is a channeling it is a love song to us from God the music is also channeled you can literally feel your vibration raise when you listen to it. It was such a pleasure to watch you enjoy it and to see you physically react to the song

Didn’t you get the chills? We sing this song in church!

That pure voice that is giving you goosebumps is the incomparable Art Garfunkel! This album is one of the most beautiful and popular albums in history! Pau Simon comes in toward the end. They harmonize perfectly. And any song they do will bless your ears! And, YES, you need to listen to the original of Sound of Silence. Simon & Garfunkel's is the essential original. 👌

Such a heartwarming song. Your reaction is a compliment. Thanks a lot.

Devin, your reaction was spot-on, authentic, & transcended ALL of the other reactions to this epic song currently on KZfaq.... hands down. ✌&❤

❤Did you just say " I'm not a motivational speaker" ???? Oh yes brother, you sure are !❤

Thanks for your honest emotions. They sure don't make music like that these days. Really pulls on the heart strings.

Yeah, this went #1. No surprise everybody had to cover it, from Aretha, to Elvis. Art took us all to church on this one.

Here's some personal faves: "For Emily, Wherever I May Find Her"; "Scarborough Fair" and "Feelin' Groovy" You'll be glad you did.

You are the first reactor to state "It sounds like gospel." The piano is typical to what I heard in the apostolic/pentecostal/sanctified church I was once part of.

This won the Grammy for song of the year in 1970

Paul Simon (the brunet one) is one of the Music Geniouses and Art Garfunkle (the blonde one) had one the most angelic voiced you will hear in music!!!

I loved watching your reaction. You used words like “gospel”, and “hymn”, and that’s EXACTLY what Paul Simon described the song as being when he wrote it…he originally wrote the song to have only the first two verses, but Simon was convinced by Art Garfunkel and producer Roy Halley to add a third verse, “sail on silver girl…” which Simon wrote at the last minute in the studio just before they recorded it. Watching your reaction in hearing this song for the first time made me feel happy, but also a little jealous, too…because I’d love to be able to hear this song for the first time all over again, to go back to 1970 and experience the same chills and goosebumps I felt when I first heard it, just as you experienced when you heard it for the very first time today. 😉🙏❤️

Its fantastic to watch Millennials find music before the Synth the CD and Social Media .. Great Reaction Devin !!

Amazing, honest reaction!! Loving your channel - your positive energy is infectious and it’s great to see you discovering music that had such a huge impact on mine and so many people’s lives. Definitely room for more of this kind of content in the world these days. 😊❤️🙌

One of my favorite Cassette Tapes I ever owned, CCR was my favorite. (the Boom Box Tape Player, the Walkman, before the CD player and MP3, but after the 8 track and record player which my Dad still listens to) was Paul Simon and Garfunkle Live at Central Park; and my favorite songs the Boxer and Sound of Silence! Welcome to the Legendary Classics Devin!

🙏🏾💜💜💜 Always brings me to tears of happiness and hope.

They called themselves Tom and Jerry when they started out in 1956 during the doo-wop era. Proof of that is Jerry Landis singing "The Lone Teen Ranger".

THIS SONG IS, BY FAR, ONE OF THE GREATEST SONGS EVER WRITTEN, IN MY OPINION. So simple, soft, but SO POWERFUL.....I interpret this song as a relationship between me and God......God watching out for me personally....sailing right behind. VERY SPIRITUAL SONG!!!!

One of my all time favorite songs and singers

For a blast, react to a hidden Simon and Garfunkel gem Keep the Customer Satisfied. A WHOLE LOTTA FUN!!

Love this song, always soothes me. I especially like the version from their concert in Central Park.

VERY sad day when they broke up so much talent. They had everything at their fingertips Beautiful ❣️no Dave made the sound of silence song his. So good the man can sang love the video.

When Art Garfunkel was born, I believe God breathed on him. A voice like that doesn't just happen. And Paul Simon's poignant lyrics are also special. Their harmonies together are amazing, but I'm sure Paul felt that this song should be sung by Art alone (the third verse aside). I love their more upbeat songs too, such as "Cecelia" off the same album. Their rabbit hole is pretty deep. I love "El Condor Pasa (If I Could)" and "Bookends" especially. Give them a listen sometime.

One of my favorite Simon & Garfunkel songs is 'Scarborough Fair'. Give it a listen

Brought tears to my eyes ❤❤❤❤

Beautiful song Beautiful message Beautiful singing and music❤

I was seven years old when my nana was watching this tears in her eyes I remember her telling me that this is what Jesus would do for you If you were in these time, What I'll never forget was the poem she read to me. It was called footprints about a man walking on the beach with the Lord, and he noticed in times of trouble when he would look back. He would only see one set of Footprints He asked the Lord about this and the Lord told him. It is when you see only one set of Footprint. This is When I carried you. This is the very short version of it. And of course, I've butchered it. I recommend all of you to Google this poem called footprints and read the entire poem. It's just beautiful.

Those were the days. The Disturbed dude did a super cover, but the S&G rendition is still special.

Amen, brother. I was a teen when that came out. I got chill bumps when I heard it here. Not the first time!

Glad to see he got the meaning of the song!
