I used to play S & G in senior year of high school, through college, and the early years of our marriage. Now at 75, its hard _to pretend my life will never end._
My childhood friend Dave G passed yesterday. I hadn't spoken with him in decades and always was about to call. Now it's always going to be too late. Life can be amazing and terrible at the same time. I miss you Dave
This song makes me sad. There was a young girl who was sick on RU-vid and she had surgery and passed away and this song came on her last vid of her mom talking about it. Wish I remembered who it was so I can go watch more vids😢 she had a beautiful spirit and full of life
I'm finding this more and more on a lot of different songs that have been on orville season 3 that I have found this one and another one at the end of season 3 they were just both amazing I had to find out what they were never have heard them in my life but I feel like I've been in my head forever
Beautiful classic of Simon and Garfunkel. One of those special songs that's not played on the radio but if you hear it again after many years and it is like rediscovering an old friend. The melody has a beautiful harmony and lightness that does not correspond to the lyrics. This contrast makes it so interesting.
I'm not sure if Paul Simon realised just how profound this song really is, If he did, hats of!. I've just been floored, Hear it and it's bubble gum...understand it and it'll reduce you to tears
And yet why do we never hear these great classics on the radio? here in the UK or elsewhere? Woutt Steinhouse & the Wedwoods did a brilliant version of this, but can't find it anywhere on the internet either.
Very nice job in presenting this RU-vid, mchetakit, in music, pictures and words. This a favorite song of mine, and it comes to mind often. Splendid song, Simon and Garfunkel!
I pity the existentialist who yearns for truth and meaning and yet finds only relativism and post modernism. There is only one truth, Christ the eternal logos and the Catholic Church His spouse being the rightful bearer of this truth. Essentialism is the truth friends.
So basically, you came on this video to condescend to people who want nothing to do with you. Great job, you're really changing the world, one RU-vid comment at a time, let me tell you. I'm sure, given the incredibly positive reception you've received in almost a year, that this comment must have changed hundreds, no, _thousands_ of life. Incredible. Amazing use of one's time.
There are many great truths. You will be exceptional if one find one in your lifetime. The Great Buddha found a great truth that life is suffering. Jesus found a great truth to love your neighbor. Newton found a great truth that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. Some call this thinking karma. Einstein found a great truth that time is relative. Jordan Peterson found a great truth that the more responsible you take on in your life the more meaning your life will have. The truth I have discovered there is not much to me. Most of what I am, about 99% of me, is the avoidance of pain and the repression of memories. I created and use the fog of repression and avoidance so I can live and tolerate my life. The Problem is that this fog keeps me from seeing myself and the world. The fog also prevents me from fulfilling my destiny. I find the verse “I am blinded by the light of God, and truth, and right, and I wander in the night without direction” to be an appropriate description of my life. I now believe my job in life is to burn off the fog and try to discover the person I should be.
I love this song and the production on it, the original Paul Simon track was great but I believe they did a great job on the produced version, love the doubled up guitars, slight harmonies, and percussion plus the higher pitch taking the song up a key, I would say an inspired song, will always be one of my favs.
