CygnusGal Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 (edited) 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.:gasp: I think it is the most beautiful line he has ever written. It makes me tear up every time. And the response: 'Cause that's not the way the world is, babe*This* is how I love you, babe Edited February 28, 2013 by CygnusGal 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rushgoober Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 (edited) Oy, two more S&G favorites (it's too hard to resist!): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MAvCfCBZaF4 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZO3gWIGzH3A Damn, that's just scratching the surface of their genius!

Tombstone Mountain Posted February 28, 2013 Author Share Posted February 28, 2013 CG, the opening lyrics to your first osted song immediately came to me: One and one-half wandering JewsFree to wander wherever they chooseAre travelling togetherIn the Sangre de CristoThe Blood of Christ MountainsOf New MexicoOn the last leg of the journeyThey started a long time ago Beautiful!Yeah, I noticed that! one and one-half wandering jews? I guess it loses something in the translation :rfl: It is cause Paul had married and devorced Carrie Fisher (Princess Leigh!) whose dad is Jewish but her mom is not.. so it explains a lot of complicated relations succinctlyThose are the fascinating layers of his music that somehow capture our thoughts (and carry them away)...does anyone really know the meaning or inspiration for "love me like a rock"...I do but I'm testing the faithful here. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Animate 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-IY1g2LARsHave to say that is a very unusual pair of song to choose as favorites!

He is very much a fan of gospel music. I think he was moved by the strength of the music. JMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But then again as I think about it now I guess the boy in 2112 does too and I never held it against that song.The second one, well, S&G had a few songs about being a criminal and frankly S&G were not very convincing at being part of the hood or what ever :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goose Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 April come she willWhen streams are ripe and swelled with rain;May, she will stay,Resting in my arms again. June, she'll change her tune,In restless walks she'll prowl the night;July, she will flyAnd give no warning to her flight. August, die she must,The autumn winds blow chilly and cold;September I'll rememberA love once new has now grown old. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unattractive Truth Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 Simon and Garfunkel were great.The Boxer is so frakking good. They had a lot of good songs, IMHO. As for Paul Simon solo, Graceland is one of the best albums recorded by anyone, ever. She comes back to tell me she's gone.As if I didn't know that,As if I didn't know my own bed... 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
