yes the crowd … yes the crowd wouldn’t have known that this band would be performing in 2010 in front of 30,000 or more people. 45 years after this performance.
Such a beautiful … Such a beautiful song like always. Simon & Garfunkel are genius.
Lyrics remind me of Time from Pink Floyd. A song about how the time in your life flys past you quicker then you realize. Life is too short so make the best everyone. Because quick enough the leaves that are green turned to brown.
if you go on … if you go on youtube and you click on all of there studio albums it tells you the person who wrote the songs. and 99% were written by P.Simon
Hi again ! maybe … Hi again ! maybe you´re right but I can´t share it because ( as I know) the only one who wrote all the lyrics was P.Simon…….for me ( personally ) the only one poet in the duo was Simon…
Who knows? maybe they just changed the word by mistaken.ha ha !…..anyway we all love this song whatever the words are, don´t you think so?
See you !
one thought i had … one thought i had was that maybe the original lyric was in some way influenced by art garfunkel (a poet) – please note i said influenced by, not written by! – and paul changed it during the time when they were apart…? just a guess… probably nonsense… lol
I have noticed the … I have noticed the same in a number of his songs. I cannot explain why, it may be that commercial considerations had some thing to do with it. Also I have noticed that it is some what detrimental to the meanings of the pieces. But I guess as long as we know what the original world were we can just ignore these anomalies.
I can not agree … I can not agree with your first statement. In early time poems may have been read accompanied by music. The two were just happenstance. In today’s world these are two separate genre, Tho sometimes closely related. The use of words are governed by two distinct sets of rules and considerations. Throughout history can cover millions of years and thus is way too much time to be considered in such a short statement.
throughout history … throughout history poems/songs are interchangeable words… poems were written to be sung up until modern times, just an interesting tid bit for ya
If you listen to … If you listen to the Paul Simon Songbook, which he recorded in June 1965 and featured this song, he actually says “poem”. The original word was always “poem.”
i notice here he … i notice here he sings “like a poem i meant to write” – the first time i heard this song was on their “old friends” dvd, and he sang “like a song i meant to write”. wonder why he changed it…
Such a sad song.
