They are well known for their close vocal harmonies and were among the most popular recording artists of the 1960s; among their biggest hits, in addition to "The Sounds of Silence", were "Bridge over Troubled Water", "I Am a Rock", "Homeward Bound", "A Hazy Shade of Winter", "Mrs. Robinson", "The Boxer", "Cecilia", and "Scarborough Fair/Canticle". They have received several Grammys and are inductees in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and the Long Island Music Hall of Fame (2007).
Their sometimes rocky relationship led to their last album, Bridge over Troubled Water, being delayed several times due to artistic disagreements and as a result the duo broke up in 1970. But Simon and Garfunkel have reunited to perform and sometimes tour together in every decade since the 1970 breakup, most famously for 1981's "The Concert in Central Park," which attracted about 500,000 people, and they have toured very successfully since then.

Crying in the Rain
Garfunkel Art Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The way my broken heart is hurting me
I've got my pride and I know how to hide
All the sorrow and pain
I'll do my crying in the rain
If I wait for cloudy skies
You won't know the rain from the tears in my eyes
So though the heartaches remain
I'll do my crying in the rain
Raindrops falling from heaven
Will never wash away my misery
But since we're not together
I'll wait for stormy weather
To hide these tears I hope you'll never see
Someday when my crying's done
I'm gonna wear a smile and walk in the sun
I may be a fool
But till then, darling, you'll never see me complain
I'll do my crying in the rain
I'll do my crying in the rain
I'll do my crying in the rain
I'll do my crying in the rain
The song "Crying in the Rain" is a heart-wrenching tale of a person who has been hurt by someone they love deeply. The lyrics talk about the pain and heartbreak that the person is going through, but at the same time, they are determined to put up a brave front and hide their true feelings from the world. The first few lines reveal the person's pride and their ability to conceal the hurt that they are feeling inside. They do not want to reveal their vulnerability to the person who hurt them.
The chorus of the song emphasizes the person's determination to keep their feelings hidden by crying in the rain. They feel that the rain will cover up their tears, and no one will know that they are still in love with the person who hurt them. They will wait for the rain to come so that they can let out their emotions without anyone seeing them.
The verses of the song go on to describe the hopelessness that the person feels. They believe that no amount of rain will wash away their misery, and the only thing they can do is hope that someday they will be able to wear a smile and walk in the sun. The person acknowledges that they might be labeled as a fool for holding on to their feelings for so long, but they are willing to endure the pain until they are finally able to let go.

I'll never let you see
I will hide my hurt from you
The way my broken heart is hurting me
I am suffering from a broken heart
I've got my pride and I know how to hide
I am too proud to show my pain
All the sorrow and pain
I am experiencing great sadness and discomfort
I'll do my crying in the rain
I will grieve secretly and alone
If I wait for cloudy skies
If I wait for bad times
You won't know the rain from the tears in my eyes
You won't see my tears during the rain
You'll never know that I still love you
You will never know that my heart still longs for you
So though the heartaches remain
Despite the pain that lingers
I'll do my crying in the rain
I will keep my tears hidden
Raindrops falling from heaven
The sky is weeping
Will never wash away my misery
My grief cannot be wiped away by the rain
But since we're not together
But since we are apart
I'll wait for stormy weather
I'll wait for troubled times
To hide these tears I hope you'll never see
So I can conceal my tears from you
Someday when my crying's done
One day when my pain is ended
I'm gonna wear a smile and walk in the sun
I will be happy and carefree again
I may be a fool
I may look foolish
But till then, darling, you'll never see me complain
But until then, I will keep my pain to myself
I'll do my crying in the rain
I will only reveal my sadness in the rain
I'll do my crying in the rain
I will be alone in my sadness
I'll do my crying in the rain
I will suffer my pain silently
I'll do my crying in the rain
I will hide my tears in the storm

JAMES TAYLOR -- ART GARFUNKEL reprise The Everlys' Crying in the Rain
Left a note at James Taylor's Facebook page a moment ago, celebrating an old video he shared this day of "my favorite ballad of 1962." Reprising outdoors a delightful duet that James & Art recorded in 1993 (for Art's 'Up 'til Now' album). Quite the nicest 'harmonizing in thirds' since the original by The Everly Brothers, Don & Phil (whose single “peaked at No. 6 on the US pop chart.”) Through his unique approach to finger-style guitar – always the perfect chords in a sequence he alone could devise! I believe The Everlys would have loved James' approach – as would their mentor, Mr. Guitar Chet Atkins (who recorded the unforgettable rhythm guitar on their “Wake Up Little Susie” million-seller – and showed them how to play those chords quickly for upcoming TV appearances).
For those who still care to ask, Who wrote that song? :
Back in 1962, at New York's famous Brill Building, Carole King switched lyricists for a day – and wrote her only song with Howard Greenfield: You may not know his name (he died 33 years ago in LA) but if you are 'of an age' you know several of his best lyrics by heart. According to his Wikipedia entry:
Greenfield co-wrote four songs that reached #1 on the US Billboard charts: "Breaking Up Is Hard to Do", as recorded by Sedaka; "Everybody's Somebody's Fool" and "Breakin' in a Brand New Broken Heart", both as recorded by Connie Francis, and "Love Will Keep Us Together", as recorded by Captain & Tennille.
He also co-wrote numerous other top 10 hits for Sedaka (including "Oh! Carol", "Stairway to Heaven", "Calendar Girl", "Little Devil", "Happy Birthday Sweet Sixteen", and "Next Door to an Angel"); Francis (including the "Theme to Where The Boys Are" and "My Heart Has a Mind of Its Own"); the Everly Brothers ("Crying in the Rain"); Jimmy Clanton ("Venus in Blue Jeans") and the Shirelles ("Foolish Little Girl"). Greenfield also co-wrote the theme songs to numerous 1960s TV series, including Gidget, Bewitched, The Flying Nun and Hazel.
