Listening to Art Garfunkel's bit: that doesn't sound so different from what I'm used to hearing Listening to Paul Simon's bit: oh wow that sounds extremely different I absolutely love that song all 3 ways
Thank you! I used to listen to this on the Hi-Fi of my parents which separated the voices, that way I figured out Simon’s voice out myself (with a lot of sweat...) Years later all my music equipment only plays both voices together and I couldn’t figure out this one again! Now to find an Art Garfunkel to harmonise with...
Interesting! Paul's melody goes higher than Artie's in "and her hair in a fine mist" line. I'd always thought Artie sang the higher part throughout the song till I watch this.
I can hear the soft breathing Of the girl that I love As she lies here beside me Asleep with the night And her hair, in a fine mist Floats on my pillow Reflecting the glow Of the winter moonlight She is soft, she is warm But my heart remains heavy And I watch as her breasts Gently rise, gently fall For I know with the first light of dawn I'll be leaving And tonight will be All I have left to recall Oh, what have I done? Why have I done it? I've committed a crime I've broken the law For twenty-five dollars And pieces of silver I held up and robbed A hard liquor store My life seems unreal My crime an illusion A scene badly written In which I must play Yet I know as I gaze At my young love beside me The morning is just a few hours away
