It reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100 chart on February 28, 1970, and stayed at the top of the chart for six weeks. It was replaced at the number-one spot by The Beatles' "Let It Be". "Bridge over Troubled Water" also topped the adult contemporary chart in the U.S. for six weeks.

This song's recording process exposed many of the underlying tensions that eventually led to the breakup of the group after the album's completion. Most notably, Paul Simon has repeatedly expressed regret that he allowed Art Garfunkel to sing this song as a solo, as it focused attention on Garfunkel and relegated Simon to a backing position. He felt an unwanted jealousy when Garfunkel received thunderous applause after performing the song, feeling that the acclamation should have been for him ("That's my song! I wrote it!"). Art Garfunkel initially did not want to sing lead vocal, feeling it was not right for him. "He felt I should have done it," Paul Simon revealed to Rolling Stone in 1972. Garfunkel said that the moment when he performed it in Madison Square Garden in 1972 was "almost biblical". In recent performances on the "Old Friends" tour, Simon and Garfunkel have taken turns singing alternate verses of the vocal.

As the song ends, drums and piano build in a crescendo to an extraordinary climax. The last note, on a violin, is a long, drawn out E-flat that lasts ten seconds.

Simon wrote the song in the summer of 1969 while Garfunkel was filming Catch-22 in Europe. It was written on the guitar in the key of E Sharp although on an early demo version Paul Simon detuned the song on his guitar to an F.

The song originally had two verses and different lyrics. Simon specifically wrote it for Garfunkel and knew it would be a piano song. He based the lyrics on the line "I'll be your bridge over deep water if you trust in me" by Swan Silvertones in the song "Oh Mary Don't You Weep For Me".

Garfunkel reportedly liked Simon's falsetto on the demo and suggested Simon sing. He and producer Roy Halee also thought the song needed three verses and a 'bigger' sound. Simon agreed and wrote the final verse.

Garfunkel's first two attempts to record the vocal failed. The first two verses were finally recorded in New York with the final verse recorded in Los Angeles.

Larry Knechtel spent four days working on the piano arrangement. Art came up with the intermediate piano chords between the verses while working with Knechtel.

Fun fact: "Bridge Over Troubled Water is a gospel phrase which Paul took from a gospel group. It was in a Baptist church hymn. He liked the phrase and he used it." The song, which reached Number 1 in 1970, was written by Paul Simon, but it was Art Garfunkel who sang lead vocal so brilliantly."

Verse Matthew 14:22 - 33

"And straightway Jesus constrained his disciples to get into a ship, and to go before him unto the other side, while he sent the multitudes away. And when he had sent the multitudes away, he went up into a mountain apart to pray: and when the evening was come, he was there alone. But the ship was now in the midst of the sea, tossed with waves: for the wind was contrary. And in the fourth watch of the night Jesus went unto them, walking on the sea. And when the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, It is a spirit; and they cried out for fear. But straightway Jesus spake unto them, saying, Be of good cheer; it is I; be not afraid. And Peter answered him and said, Lord, if it be thou, bid me come unto thee on the water. And he said, Come. And when Peter was come down out of the ship, he walked on the water, to go to Jesus. But when he saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink, he cried, saying, Lord, save me. And immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand, and caught him, and said unto him, O thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt? And when they were come into the ship, the wind ceased. Then they that were in the ship came and worshipped him, saying, Of a truth thou art the Son of God."

Love You guys, may you have peace and love, and healing. Stay true to our groom, and our Father, our King, our First Lover whom loved us First.

Pray "Through the intercessions of our most Holy Theotokos and of all our saints" And pray to Jesus to protect you, and then you will have a whole army protecting you. God Loves You. You are protected and he will provide for you just surrender yourself to God and surrender all your fears and worries, and pain unto him and He will save you.

Amen

I'm at stage 4 cirrhosis of the liver and an immune disorder. I live with my 87 yr old mom who has dementia. I'm struggling to take care of myself because I take care of her. This song helps to reassure me that my faith in God will allow me to rest in eternal life with no more worries.

My Dad died on February 18 2020 from heart complications, I was 21 at the time and I now just graduated college (no thanks to the pandemic taking away our ceremony.) Simon and Garfunkel was one of my dad’s favorites and we played this song at his funeral. Today is Father’s Day and it’s been very difficult for me so far. My Dad was a Vietnam vet and a very loving man, I thought the least I could do for him today was talk about him here under one of his favorites. The most heartfelt song I’ve ever heard.

Gypsy Girl, so sorry to hear of your father's passing earlier this year. My 96 year-old father passed away in 2018 and I considered using this song at his funeral, but chose two other songs that were more appropriate for him. You certainly chose an amazing song and it is hard not to feel emotional after hearing it.

I've been a fan of this song for decades and only recently learned from an interview Simon did that the song was originally written with only the first two verses, inspired by some American gospel Simon had heard. The album's producer told Simon to add on another verse and give it a bigger ending. Simon's wife at the time was upset at discovering her first white hair and Simon wrote the third verse "Sail on silver girl" as a joking reaction to a white hair. I still love the song, but when that third verse starts part of me laughs knowing that this emotional song of support to those in distress was written partially in jest.

I was in college when my mother called up to tell me that our family dog had passed. He was 20 years old and had been in my life since before I could walk. My entire youth revolved around this dog and when that phone call came, I just sat back and turned off the lights and listened to this song..over and over again. Now, 55 years later, it it allows me to remember that time... and my dog...my Silver Girl.

I'm sorry you lost your wife back then. But do you know that God promises a world, in which there will be no more war, disease or death on earth. For example, in Jeremiah 29:11,12 God says ,,For I well know the thoughts that I am thinking toward you, declares Jehovah, thoughts of peace, and not of calamity,a to give you a future and a hope. And you will call me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you." God foretells also that in this time loved ones that whe have lost, will come back to life again here on earth. Revelations 21:3-5 ...,,with that I heard a loud voice from the throne say: “Look! The tent of God is with mankind, and he will reside with them, and they will be his people. And God himself will be with them. And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.” And the One seated on the throne said: “Look! I am making all things new.” Also he says: “Write, for these words are faithful and true.” Jesus the Son of God put it this way:.."John 5:28 ...you shouldn't be surprised, because the time will come when all, who are in the graves will hear Gods voice and will come out. The future look's much better than most of the people expect, because God loves us and what he promises will not fail. If you are interested I send you an very interesting interactive textbook with the theme: Enjoy Life forever" https://www.jw.org/en/library/books/enjoy-life-forever/ This book is about what God will do in the very near future and how it can give you hope for the future. I wish you all the best for your future and send you my best greetings Michel

I have something i want to share with you about this song. Everytime I listen to this song, I cry like there is no tomorrow. I have been in the US Navy, I have been injured, shot, 20 stiches on my head..still not a tear. I used to listen to this song when I was in Malta in july 2015. At that time, I remember as it was yesterday, I was listening it with Aida, the only girl I have ever fell in love with. She dedicated this song to me, if in my life I would ever felt lonely, sad or in trouble, she would have been my bridge over trouble water. We were seating on her bed, with a laptop and listening to this song one next to the other. At the end of that very month, I had to leave Malta, without her, and i can swear to all what i care about in life, i left my heart, soul and whats left of me there, still seating on her bed listening to this song. I am sure that i will remember her all my life, every time I listen to this song. It has a place in my heart, as she will always have. Don't end up like I did. Stand up for what you love, or you will regret everyday u spend without that " special person" that makes u want to wake up the next day.With all my love to you. Take Care

I'm with you. Definitely among the best songs ever written. It's beautiful poetry AND beautiful music and I love the gospel version Aretha Franklin but this is equally as beautiful. Garfunkel's voice is like an angel and 70% of this recording is just piano and Art Garfunkel, only the climax outro is done with a big production. It almost doesn't need the production. The purity of the voice with the piano is so intimate and expressive it's even more touching!

@@losangelesmusicteachers-bu3034 There's several demo's of this song (and others, of course) floating around on YouTube. The one that's closest to the final version but without the production at the end is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nRdNeAEpY9k It's almost better than the album version, it's sort of a simpler version. I'm pretty sure you'll quite like it.

A much earlier one is one where Paul is singing it, before he wrote the third and final verse. Here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nRdNeAEpY9k It's clear that it's a more raw version, but I always love hearing Paul singing falsetto, even if it's just sort of a rough draft of the final song.

Although I think if I absolutely had to pick one version, it'd be the Central Park one. Though that might not be my final choice.

To anyone who’s going through a tough season, whether it be a loss of a loved one, wether you made a big mistake, feeling troubled or guilty of something, in a state of loneliness, feeling depressed, anxious, suicidal, etc., please know that Jesus loves you so much and that he wants to free you from whatever pain or struggle you’re going through. Call on him and accept him by faith. He will always be with you when times get tough. And “Like a bridge over troubled water, [He] will ease your mind.” May God bless you! ❤️🙏😊

Actually, he is astonishing live. He has such a unique voice, that doesnt need recording "make up" ,try to see and listen his early 60's lives with Paul, or the legendary concert in central park.
He's one of the few great "pop/rock" artists who can sing live as good, or even better than recording, as his pitch, precision, timber, intensity, flow of emotions are heavenly delivered anytime he sings. He gives all his soul to his voice, and that's maybe why so many say that he doesn't simply has a beautiful voce,but the voce of an angel.

As a child in the 70's I hadn't been through enough to really get this song. It was overplayed on the radio too - it was the background muzac of my childhood. As a teen, getting my heart broken and taking drugs, I would secretly cry to this song. I wondered what was wrong with me: it was the schmaltziest, daggiest song from my childhood. It wears it's heart on it's sleeve, which is not a very rock and roll thing to do. But as a middle aged man, with years in recovery from addiction, and so many of my friends dead, this song is the closest thing I've heard to the voice of God. It tells me, when I'm weary and feeling small, that I am not alone, that I am held and understood. Love to all of you who know what I mean x

This song was playing on the army bus when my dad got drafted in 1969, 37 yrs later I stepped off an airplane in Frankfurt Germany and boarded an army bus myself. The very first song to play was this. I dont have any idea what the odds are on that but it touched my soul. So much emotion for both of us surrounding the soung

Three days after returning from Vietnam having traded his arm, leg and eye for two purple hearts and a bronze star, my uncle sang this song to my 10 year old cousin who was in the hospital being treated for leukemia. He sang it at her funeral a few weeks later. Every time I hear it I can see my uncle standing there at the front of the cathedral singing this song in front of 600 people and a tiny white casket holding the mike in his remaining hand while leaning on a crutch. He who had sacrificed so much had more to give. He told me my cousin was the bravest person he had ever met. That coming from a man who almost died and lost body parts on the battle field while attempting to rescue comrades. He who could have gone home leaving Vietnam behind instead volunteered for not one but two more tours of duty. He who was shot in the leg and then patched up and volunteered for one more mission and lost his arm, eye and later the leg to infection, thought a little girl in a hospital bed was braver than he was. Typical hero type. Typical soldier. To quote him "just doing my job." Typical.

I love this song so much ! Paul was right to talk Art Garfunkel into singing this golden gem. Thank you Simon n Garfunkel for giving us so many wonderful pieces of music.

Simon and Garfunkel did some of the most impressing and touching masterpieces of music in modern history. simple as that.

Something about when he sings “when evening falls so hard.. I will comfort you” is so deeply moving and the previous line of saying “when you’re on the street” just conveys a beautiful unconditional sort of love. So soulful and precious.

It’s impossible to believe this song is 50 years old. It’s still one of the most beautiful and moving songs ever.
The first time I saw a video of Art from the last 10 years or so I felt sad because he can’t sing it like he used to. He can’t hit those notes anymore.
But then I thought,”But he did. He was perfect. And we have it for always.”
One music publication called it ‘The Song of the Decade”.
I think it’s a “Song for the Ages”.

Our wedding song in 1993. My husband passed in 2021. This song gives me great hope that my time has come to shine even though he is not here to see it. He was truly my bridge over troubled water. He laid down his life for me and the kids.

My 13 year old dog, Jasper, was euthanized today and had lost in his battle against cancer. No emergency vet wanted to help us, no one wanted to see him and save his life. And all we could do was just let him go as he was put down.

My dad played this song in memory of Jasper, who has always been there for us through hell and back. And now, my dog can finally be free from this cruel cold-hearted world.

Rest In Peace, Jasper, we will always love you. Watch over Chloe and Astro ❤
