Amateur acoustic guitar and vocals cover of Simon and Garfunkel's For Emily, Whenever I May Find Her. Nothing can compare to the original recordings but, hey ho, it's worth a go for fun. :) Thank you to my father for bathing my young ears in the dreamy music of Simon and Garfunkel when I was a little girl. :) Their work is simply beautiful and I know I am not a patch on them.

To see this preformed live many years ago in Sacramento - the 2 men walking on the stage while some balcony drunks shouted for this or that - the 2 men stood still in silence on the stage . . . waiting. Finally, when things became quiet - Paul commenced playing his acoustic guitar - a mike directed at his instrument while a 2nd mike was focused at Artie's mouth. The place became totally still but for the sounds emanating from Paul & Art. Complete connection / melding of the audience & the sound makers. Harmony / congruity of voices & guitar. Beautiful ! ! ! When it concluded with the finale crescendo, all sound abruptly stopped , dead quite, the silence was such that the audience became stunned / immobile. Finally some people were forced to breath & they all - as one entity - erupted into applause and shouts of appreciation !. There have been few times in my life that I have been so empirically moved. And fortunate. Ray

I played this song in 1975, at 20 years of age, to a French-speaking audience of 7 or 8 people. What did they know about pressed in organdy, clothed in crinoline of smoky burgundy? Absolutely nothing, as, I must admit neither did I 😅. It didn't matter. Capo high up the neck, voice high up the scale, I loved to sing that song, and loved the silent, entranced attention of my audience. It never fails to amaze me when a young singer like this lady picks up an eternal 50-year-old song, and brings it to the attention of listeners from all over the world. Bravissima 🎉🎉

What a beautiful comment. Thank you so much for taking the time to listen and write. Did you live in France? I grew up on this music, fortunately, thanks to my father. :) I find Simon and Garfunkel's harmonies and Simon's guitar and lyrics to be extremely moving and uplifting. :)

@markdickens6426 5 ай бұрын

@MooreLanguageSolutions Merci pour votre réponse. Oui, j'ai vécu en France pendant une année scolaire, entre sept 1974 et juin de 1975. During that time, I also subjected my audience to Kathy's Song .. is there any more beautiful line than, "There but for the grace of you go I"? The Boxer .. "I'm laying out my winter clothes ..". And so on. America, Punky's Dilemma, Old Friends .. I did them all. In the past year, though, I have mastered Overs, from Bookends. I hated it back in the early 70s, but now I can't get enough of it. Trouble is, I only have one friend who knows it, so I spend a lot of time singing it to myself, admiring Paul Simon's absolute mastery of blues, jazz and poetry, all in 2 and a bit short minutes of heaven. Check out Chloe Moser's rendition on KZfaq, and if you don't know it already, it will open your eyes and ears to the rolling complexity of his guitar playing. End of fawning eulogy 😀.

@markdickens6426 5 ай бұрын

I've just noticed your profile. When I lived in France, I used to take my guitar along to classes. I remember doing a "Compare and contrast" between "Old Friends"and "When I'm Sixty-Four". Reaction to OF, unfortunately, was unfavourable .. "C'est de la soupe". You only learn the idiom with exposure to the people, right? At the time, the hits on the go were, "Femme", by Nicole Croisille .."Je fréquentais alors des hommes un peu bizarres, aussi légers que la cendre de leurs cigares". "Le Sud", by Nino Ferrer and, believe it or not, "Forever and ever", by Demis Roussos. Nice times.
