EMOTIONAL 😭😭FIRST TIME HEARING SIMON & GARFUNKEL - BRIDGE OVER TROUBLED WATER  

Thank you so much. I really appreciate it.

Amen!

There is a version of “Bridge” floating around RU-vid with James Griffin singing and Larry Knechtel (original pianist) playing the piano. Production quality is terrible but they both nail it…

Very true

Totally agree.

Easily one of the greatest popular music albums of the 20th Century. I can’t imagine my childhood growing up in the ‘70s without it. 🥇🥇🥇

Well that makes sense : Our Lord and Savior JESUS CHRIST is Jewish too - it's kind of funny , nobody ever thinks of it this way , but while not all Jews are Christians , all Christians are Jews ❤✝️❤✡️❤

They and ABBA are the only artists I've yet to find a bad song from.

The whole best of album honestly! I know the order by heart

No. This won Record, Song and Album of the year Grammy.

@@stevehackett2678 Thanks Steve. I fixed my OP, RNB

Thanks for watching.

Yikes that’s intense

To me she is the Statue (Goddess) of Liberty - "sailing" (away?) on her lonely island with her torch held high in hand - symbolising the dreams of many people in the US. ( these were troubled times in the US with the civil rights movement, political assassinations and the Vietnam War still raging ). "Sail on silver girl (!) Sail on by Your time has come to shine (!) All your dreams (!) are on their way See how they shine (!) Oh, if you need a friend I'm sailing right behind" Paul would later go on to use this metaphor in his hauntingly beautiful American Tune (1973). "And I dreamt I was flying, and high up above my eyes could clearly see The Statue of Liberty Sailing away to sea ..." It's btw. also a cheeky reference to Paul's first wife, who had just found her first grey hair - and whom he jokingly refered to as "Silver Girl" 😉

My interpretation is the opposite of yours! I see it as a parent sending their daughter into the world on her own. The parent knows there will be lonely times danger and heartache ahead but she must go forth to experience life on her own but the parent will be there in the background for support and love if she asks for it but knows to stay back and let her do life on her own. Sailing right behind being there in spirit

Thanks alot for your recommendations.

Thanks for your recommendation

Thanks alot.

And it was written in the middle of their breakup as a group, as a gift from Simon to Garfunkel. Garfunkel was the one that insisted on the third verse with Simon singing as well. Even in the middle of a painful breakup, they still cared for each other.

Thanks so much for watching.

Thanks alot.

Thanks so much for watching.

Thanks alot.

Thanks 👍

You're welcome.

Elvis’ version was good. Theirs much better. Unlike the song “My Way” written by Paul Anka for Frank Sinatra. Although Sinatra’s version was good, Elvis’ version was much better .

Larry Knechtel

Why is that ironic? Yeshua is Jewish. He's the lion of the tribe of Judah. All the early disciples were Jewish. Or Hebrew. The gospel itself is Jewish. You can't find a more Jewish book than the gospel of Matthew. There's no irony.

@@Lucid.dreamer indeed, but do Jews as a whole today follow Jesus?

@@THEPATRIOT1000 what's that got to do with anything? Do gentiles? Don't ask me dumb questions. The world hates Jesus. Absolutely hates him. Get your silly head out of the mud and don't pretend like you are superior or something. You're not.
