@@lorenzosarli2310 I agree with everything you stated. I have a low tolerance for so-called "World Music," thus "Graceland" is a snoozefest to me compared with anything Simon and Garfunkel recorded as well versus Paul Simon's earlier solo work. Also, Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel (who became acquainted when they were 11 years old and first sang together in a school production of "Alice in Wonderland") both graduated from Forest Hills High School, the same school attended by John Colvin (Johnny), Doug Cummings (Dee Dee), Jeffrey Hyman (Joey) and Tom Erdelyi (Tommy) , the four original members of the punk rock band The Ramones. S&G started out as the team of Tom & Jerry, recording as an homage to their idols, The Everly Brothers, not a bad duo by which to be influenced. In fact, S&G covered The Everlys' "Bye Bye Love" on their 1970 swansong album, "Bridge Over Trouble Water."
And Simon (under the pseudonym of "Jerry Landis") had also been a songwriter for small Brill Building-based labels, composing for Ritchie Cordell (born Richard Joel Rosenblatt), who himself composed and produced so many of those great hits ("I Think We're Alone Now" among them) by Tommy James and The Shondells, as well producing "I Love Rock and Roll" years later for Joan Jett. And Simon had also composed that great pop tune "Red Rubber Ball" for The Cyrkle. But without Garfunkel's beautiful harmonies and ear for music, those S&G recordings would never have existed, at least not as we know them.
Garfunkel, whose pseudonym had been "Tom Graf" because he supposedly liked to track or graph the chart positions of pop hits, had also completed work toward a doctorate at a teacher's college while he was in the beginning stages of S&G. And Garfunkel helped his college roommate (who had gone blind from glaucoma) by reading to him to help him complete his degree. The roommate rewarded Garfunkel's kindness by paying the $500 used to record the demo of "Sounds of Silence." I think that's a nice anecdote about how an act of kindness led to unpredictable greatness.
Credit must also go to producer/engineer Tom Wilson, whose work on "Sounds of Silence" (including the dubbing of electronic backing onto the recording, which had initially infuriated S&G) is what helped make the tune a hit, and brought them back together (Simon was already in England working on new material with one of the members of the Australian folk-pop group The Seekers), making S&G worldwide-famous when their music was included in the soundtrack of Mike Nichols' 1967's Academy Award-nominated film "The Graduate." Imagine what "The Graduate" would have been like without the music of S&G; probably stil a fine film, but missing an important ambience. The S&G music was almost another character in that film.

I was so hard to please
But look around Leaves are brown
And the sky is a hazy shade of winter
Hear the Salvation Army band
Down by the riverside's
Bound to be a better ride
Than what you've got planned
Carry your cup in your hand
And look around you
Leaves are brown, now
And the sky is a hazy shade of winter
Hang on to your hopes, my friend
That's an easy thing to say
But if your hopes should pass away
Simply pretend That you can build them again
Look around
The grass is high
The fields are ripe
It's the springtime of my life
Seasons change with the scenery
Weaving time in a tapestry
Won't you stop and remember me
At any convenient time?
Funny how my memory skips
Looking over manuscripts
Of unpublished rhyme
Drinking my vodka and lime
I look around Leaves are brown
And the sky is a hazy shade of winter
Look around Leaves are brown
There's a patch of snow on the ground
Look around Leaves are brown
There's a patch of snow on the ground

This is such a great song you could literally flip it into any style and it comes out as a banger. You could do it Metal, Rock, Punk, R&B, folk and every one would be scintillating. That's some quality writing and music. And obviously the Bangles hit this one out of the park with their version.
@ToyKingWonder
I like the Bangles, but I never got why they cut the bridge in half.
@TealScarab
I just listened to the version by Episode Six, with Ian Gillan on lead vocals!!
@ginasipos4373
Right? I was just thinking the same thing
@charleskroman5006
I’d like to hear it in country form by Diamond Rio. Or the Monkees with Davey Jones would be interesting. What do you think?
@troublemagnet1
Sodom's version is an absolute banger 🤘
@jimmypage2138
Paul was really good at coming up with sad, melancholy songs
@amerocker
That accurately describes Paul's psyche.
@Sceneyour
Common trait for abused children of leftists.
@amerocker
@@Sceneyour True. I saw Paul Simon interviewed in the 1990's on tv and he was so sad, neurotic. His neurosis stems from his childhood. He was throwing a rubber ball inside his house while saying "This is my house, I'll throw the ball when I want." He looked like a sad, pathetic, little boy.
