| Paul Simon – Graceland Lyrics

This song has such beautiful lyrics. I've always loved Paul Simon but this song I had mostly heard on the radio and just thought was a fun, light song about Graceland. It wasn't until I sat down and listened to it that I realized it was really about his divorce and being a single dad. "Losing love is like a window in your heart. Everybody sees you're blown apart." Love that line. It's a very mature and sophisticated song. He paints such a beautiful picture of travelling with his son and his introspection after his marriage. The song to me is about him finally being able to let go. Graceland is a metaphor for his salvation, and the portrait he paints of all the wandering pilgrims with their broken families travelling is just beautiful. We are all like him, lost and wandering and looking for salvation. |

@[sconnie:8411] Cool! I think these are some of the most beautiful song lyrics I've heard. I love how she paints a picture but doesn't give you every detail. I understand what she is talking about from the small hints she drops, and it creates a very beautiful portrait of the family and says a lot about how people and their actions resonate over generations. |
