"The sound of silence ", "Scarborough Fair, "I am a rock 🪨 ", Cecilia, their catalogue of songs 🎵 is virtually endless, absolutely 💯 still love ❤️ them

I've listened to this song SOOOOO many times and STILL love it!

"a man gets tied up to the ground, he gives the world its saddest sound" ... our day to day life ties us down to the less important imaginings of the heart

Paul Simon is singing the lead on this song. Both guys can sing well. Art has an amazing tenor voice. Paul doesn't have a particularly unique voice but is good nonetheless. This song comes from their great Bridge Over Troubled Water album, their last album.

First!! I've always found this song to be haunting... Turns out the melody is actually a traditional Peruvian folk song, and Paul Simon added lyrics..

They are unique. The songwriting of s as always perfect.

It's especially hard to classify this song. It's simply a beautiful song. "El Condor Pasa" which means "the condor passes" is an old Peruvian folk song. You can hear that in the way the music has that Peruvian indigenous sound in the guitar and the flute. The English lyrics are different than the Spanish. It remains a popular song, with the Spanish lyrics, in Latin America.

Brilliant choice of words. It is art. But it is also paul. It is a singularity. There aren't a million songs that sound like it. Sui generis. Watermark is Garfunkel's solo masterpiece, paying homage to Jimmy Webb, and giving them a beautiful voice. Paul's Graceland is another tour-de-force.

Holy cow Biz! You keep reacting to ALL my favourites! AMAZING! Im home sick from work, so I’m REALLY enjoying your reactions! Thanks again! Peace and Blessings from Australia.

Simon and Garfunkle songs are timeless, beautiful classics. Paul Simon is singing lead here with Art in the background. I am always drawn to the deeper, more depressing songs than the happy ones - lol. My favorites are "I am a Rock", "The Boxer" and "Sounds of silence". Many people consider Dylan the 60's American poet, but I much prefer Paul Simon. His lyrics are beautiful, deep and relatable. Please check out Paul's solo Materpiece, "Graceland". The album has a fascinating back story, and the title song is my favorite on the album You reviewed "Call Me Al" earlier from this same album.

"A man gets tied up to the ground, he gives the world its saddest sound" .. it's a funeral dirge. When a man 'gets tied up to the ground' (buried) he 'gives the world its saddest sound' (his family and friends weep)

Most of this is Paul singing (though it's Art on the "Away, I'd rather sail away" bridges). So many good songs from this duo - "The Only Living Boy in New York" is an often overlooked gem. My favourite solo Garfunkel song is his cover of Van Morrison's "I Shall Sing".

So much to explore ,Biz. the rabbit hole is long and winding. You gotta check out Paul Simon's Graceland album. Find some old live videos if you can from the concert in Zimbabwe Africa in 1987.

When this song was still recent, while in HS I did a slide show to it for multi media class. teacher didn't get it but most of the class did. May still have the slides.

Can't go wrong with more of them. Including Paul Simon solo. Great reaction!

Beyond "Bridge Over Troubled Water," my favorite solo Garfunkel is "All I Know". I recommend it!

this is my all-time favorite song. I have the music tattooed on my arm.

The Only Living Boy In New York City is what's next from Simon and Garfunkel! 😊

Love this beautiful song. I'm half Peruvian and this is from an old Peruvian folk song

I always thought this is a great song. 🎶🎶🎶👍

This one was sung by Paul with Art doing background vocals.

I always liked “Dangling Conversation”

One of Art Garfunkel solo songs, All I Know

This is a good Journey. Memories positive happing

Paul Simon wrote the English lyrics to a Peruvian orchestral composition based on traditional Andean music. "El Condor Pasa (If I Could)" follows "Bridge over Troubled Water" on the album, which I was listening to on a hand-me-down in the eighties. "Cecilia" comes next, which could be taken as a joke if you know that song. Side two kicks off with "The Boxer" and "Baby Driver", so more than good reasons to flip the record over there. The songs on that album were getting radio airplay deep into the seventies. Check out any of those songs you haven't already and also check out "Homeward Bound" among other of their timeless classics.

Simon is the whole shit going on own

You know, Polo, sometimes we need to go up on a mountain and sit with the sky because we need to clear our heads or our hearts and just...be. When I listen to this song, I see a person sitting high on a mountain overlooking a deep, green valley with a fine breeze in their face and a single large bird riding the thermals higher and higher into the sky and wishing, just for awhile, they could fly like that. And if you haven't already, you've GOT to check out Paul Simon's Graceland, the song, heck yeah, the entire album!

For solo Garfunkel, try “99 Miles from L.A.” which is a great driving song, a highway song.

One of their underplayed masterpieces. Try "So Long Frank Lloyd Wright".

If you love this, then don't miss its touching sister song, "Duncan." Both use gorgeous Peruvian instrumentation. In concert, Paul Simon often combines the 2 songs into a medley

Someone said it, but I'll reiterate: You MUST react to this. This exact title, too. I have to see you see it. Paul Simon - Diamonds On The Soles Of Her Shoes (from The African Concert, 1987) Thanky 💖💋

Love ya Biz. Thanks.

When are you going to do Scarborough fair???? I'm waiting...😂

This was written by the Peruvian composer Daniel Alomía Robles for musical theater in 1913 and is based on traditional Andean music. It's been covered widely. When Paul Simon heard it from a touring Peruvian music band they told him it was a traditional tune but that was not the case. So he took the tune and wrote these English lyrics for it. Later he found out that it was copyrighted in the US by Robles. They settled a lawsuit amicably. ~~~ "Homeward Bound"; "Only Living Boy in New York."

They are true minstrels

Haven’t heard This one in a long time - isn’t it great? Went thru a long Simon & Garfunkel & then especially Paul Simon phase

Long live Perú 🇵🇪. The andean flute is magic and peaceful.

Andean blues! Great pick. The original song is traditional Peruvian folk music, no lyrics. The inspiration for the original music was a story about a group of indigenous mine workers harshly exploited by the mine owner. On the day the owner died a condor soared overhead and the workers took it as a sign of liberation. VERY rough summary.

A song about being free.

The "schlyrics" you pulled up have a mistake in it. It should say (if you listen to it you can verify what I'm saying), "I'd rather be a forest than a street" (not "tree"). You're right, you need the schlyrics but you've got to have the correct schlyrics; the meaning changes with the correct lyrics.

Somebody should react to "Late in the Evening" by Paul Simon. You could be the first.

Nazareth - Waiting For The Man, you won't regret it

can I make a suggestion? Cee Lo Green and Daryl Hall - I Can't Go For That 43 million views. and Absolutely Awesome live performance
