Tombstone Mountain Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 (edited) Paul Simon has so many great songs, one for every mood it seems. He created such fantastic music with Art Garfunkel and on his own. What Paul Simon lyric is hitting you at the moment? She gets down on her knees and hugs me Edited February 27, 2013 by Tombstone Mountain 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Animate Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 Paul Simon is my favorite lyricist- he speaks so clearly and sincerely in so few words.

rushgoober Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 In terms of Paul Simon solo material, my favorite song of his MIGHT be this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vOHiPZGqj_Q Really though, his entire first self-titled solo album is wonderful. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CygnusGal Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 I adore Paul Simon. His talent is profound and I think he is one of the great American songwriters. I literally played Graceland non-stop for 6 months when it came out. I could not get over the sounds! Then, I discovered his catalog and became an enormous fan. Paul Simon Great thread, TM! :cheerleader: Here's my contribution. And some finger style playing, too. This song still makes me cry. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d0SN6Eck9eQ Okay, well, two, I have to put this one in. It is my favourite Paul Simon song. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ksa4VjKE3RY 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Animate Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 She said.. why don't you love me for who I am, where I am.... I had tickets to see S&G in Houston, August 1983. The concert was cancelled, because of hurricane Alicia, then the news came out that Paul also took this as a break to run off to get married to Carrie Fisher. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rushgoober Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 In terms of S&G stuff, I love a LOT of songs (not to mention all of Sounds of Silence, Parsley Sage Rosemary & Thyme and Bookends :wub: ), but these are probably my two favorite songs by them - not choices most people would probably make: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=diNi6F4usCM http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u-IY1g2LARs 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
