Simon & Garfunkel - Old Friends
 |
||
From my personal favorite concert in Central Park, Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel singing Old Friends. The vocals are just amazing.Someone requested the lyrics, so here they are:OLD FRIENDS LYRICS:Old friends,Old friendsSat on their park benchLike bookends.A newspaper blown though the grassFalls on the round toesOf the high shoesOf the old friends.Old friends,Winter companions,The old menLost in their overcoats,Waiting for the sunset.The sounds of the city,Sifting through trees,Settle like dustOn the shouldersOf the old friends.Can you imagine usYears from today,Sharing a park bench quietly?How terribly strangeTo be seventy.Old friends,Memory brushes the same yearsSilently sharing the same fearsBOOKENDS LYRICS:Time it was and what a time it was it was,A time of innocence a time of confidences.Long ago it must be, I have a photographPreserve your memories, theyre all thats left you59TH STREET BRIDGE SONG (FEELIN' GROOVY) LYRICS:Slow down, you move too fast.You got to make the morning last.Just kicking down the cobble stones.Looking for fun and feelin' groovy.Ba da, Ba da, Ba da, Ba da...Feelin' Groovy.Hello lamp-post,What cha knowin'?I've come to watch your flowers growin'.Ain't cha got no rhymes for me?Doot-in' doo-doo,Feelin' groovy.I've got no deeds to do,No promises to keep.I'm dappled and drowsy and ready to sleep.Let the morning time drop all its petals on me.Life, I love you,All is groovy.

wj234 asks "why is there no music now like that?" It's because the music industry is now run by corporate accountants and not musician businessmen. Video imagery has replaced musical & lyrical substance. The remaining radio stations play from national playlists making it almost impossible for new artists to get their first break. S&G's first hit song was recorded and forgotten until it resurfaced months later on a college radio station, played by a DJ who had independence from management.

You are right. When it was written it was probably just about two old guys that PS had seen sitting in a park every day. He was a keen observer of human behaviour and translated that into both music and lyrics very eloquently. My point was that even though the song was written so long ago about someone else, it now seems to suit the two of them. I hope that their differences have been resolved. John Lennon died without reconciling with Paul McCartney and I believe his spirit was poorer for that.

Listen to "I Am a Rock," you'll identify. It's about the narrator's attempts to shield himself from the pain of life. The final lyric is, ". . .and a rock feels no pain, and an island never cries." Then I cry, listening.

And how old was Simon when he wrote this? "I was 21 years when I wrote this song. . .I'm 22 now, but I won't be for long. . ." Amazingly perceptive for one so young.
