Paul Simon was born in October 1941, the song recorded in December 1965. He must've been between 24-25 years old when he wrote this.
The depth of how it is sung makes Paul Simon seem like an old soul. He takes a simple poetic idea and puts it into a simple three stanza format and a miracle was created with this song.
Just a beautiful song. The lyricists during the 1960s were quit amazing. There was something about that decade that mused perhaps the greatest song lyrics ever written. Those who can write a lyric aren't recognized these days it seems because the lyrics written these days seem to emphasize materialism or egocentricity or is just a bunch of lines of cliche.
Or is it that people have forgotten to write good song lyrics? I wonder if any song writers feel challenged to write something meaningful when they hear a song like this.
Paul Simon, what can you say about the man. He was touched some force to have been able to come with so many amazing lyrics seemingly effortlessly.
