| Simon and Garfunkel – Flowers Never Bend With The Rainfall Lyrics
| 19 years ago
|
|
This song is about depression.. about the sense of tedium in feeling isolated. A motif of dark and rain accentuates the idea of having no direction and no one to run to. Paul Simon was short and dark-haired - "an image dark and small" - but also of course that is a metaphorical phrase. Anyone who's been depressed should be able to relate to this, I think. |

| Simon and Garfunkel – Blessed Lyrics

Blessed is everyone but Paul Simon. Although I think he used to be a bit of a groovy looker.. The last line sums it up if you didn't get it from "I got no place to go," etc.. He feels alone and forsaken [abandoned] and is asking "Why?" |

| Simon and Garfunkel – A Poem On The Underground Wall Lyrics

Yes the four-letter word is certainly that lovely "f-word." The idea for this song came from the Wednesday Morning, 3AM album cover. They had taken at least a hundred shots of themselves in front of a wall and finally got the shot they wanted.. They looked a little closer and happened to notice some lucky poet's work had been prominently featured in bold letters. The words of the prophets are written on the subway walls and tenement halls... |

This song perfectly captures the essence of being high. On what, that's up to you.. "My thoughts are scattered and they're cloudy..." |

| Simon and Garfunkel – Fakin' It Lyrics

The bit about being a tailor came to Paul Simon in the middle of a "hash reverie," as he put it. It occurred to him that, had he lived in an earlier time, he would most likely not be a musician. He would have a regular job, and he fancied that he would have been a tailor. Afterward, his father mentioned to him that his grandfather or great-grandfather had been a tailor, and his name was also Paul Simon. Also, this song is my favourite. Art's harmonies under the verses... oh my. |
