Paul Simon doesn’t agree with the widely talked-about assessment that his latest album, Seven Psalms, is primarily a reflection of his own mortality. In conversation at his private studio cabin near Austin, Texas, the 81-year-old reveals to CBC’s Tom Power the meaning behind the music, and his hope to perform it live despite losing his hearing.
Footage used from the trailer for Paul Simon's Seven Psalms contains scenes from In Restless Dreams, the forthcoming film directed by Alex Gibney.
