Cecilia
Simon & Garfunkel Lyrics

Making love in the afternoon with Cecilia
Up in my bedroom (making love)
I got up to wash my face
When I come back to bed someone's taken my place

Cecilia, you're breaking my heart
You're shaking my confidence daily
Oh, Cecilia, I'm down on my knees
I'm begging you please to come home
Come on home

Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba, ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba

Jubilation
She loves me again
I fall on the floor and I'm laughing

Jubilation
She loves me again
I fall on the floor and I'm laughing

Whoah-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Whoah-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Whoah-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Whoah-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

The song begins "Cecilia, you're breaking my heart / You're shaking my confidence daily..." then ends with "Jubilation! / She loves me again..."

The single did not chart in the UK, despite being released as the follow-up to Simon and Garfunkel's number one hit "Bridge Over Troubled Water".

The "Cecilia" of the title is generally interpreted as being a capricious lover, causing both anguish and jubilation to the singer. However, another interpretation is that Cecilia might refer to St. Cecilia, patron saint of music in the Catholic tradition, and thus the song might refer to the frustration of fleeting inspiration in songwriting. St. Cecilia is mentioned in another Paul Simon song, "The Coast" (from his 1990 album The Rhythm of the Saints): "A family of musicians took shelter for the night in the little harbor church of St. Cecilia."

When the original album was released on vinyl, the song included sounds out of the human hearing range. This has led to rumors that Cecilia was actually written about Simon's black lab, Cecilia. When being transferred to CD in 1996, producers removed the ultrasonic sounds in order to lower the file size,[citation needed] allowing them to fit a 14th song on the "best of" album. When interviewed, Simon refused to comment. Garfunkel was quoted as saying that Simon had never dated anyone named Cecilia and the song was probably about the dog.

This song likely saved my life. I was driving in the deep south in 1971 or 72 nearly falling asleep. "Cecelia" came on the radio and the beat awakened me. Every time I hear it, it takes me back all those decades ago.

My Mom and her sister, my Aunt Patty (Rip) LOVED Simon And Garfunkel. Their taste in music eventually got passed down to me. I'm 36 now. Simon and Garfunkel are def in my top 10. However, I always felt as though Art Garfunkel never got as much appreciation and recognition as Paul. I personally LOVE Art's voice much more than Paul's. It's so unique, powerful and it's very rare to find a man who can sing that high and sound like an angel. That being said, I must say, their voices do harmonize together beautifully! There are no other artists that could duet together and sound as beautiful as Simon And Garfunkel.

Last night I had to take my dad to the ER at 12:30 a.m. After getting checked in, at about 2 a.m. his nurse Emily started singing this song outside of our room, quite well I might add. I was surprised that a young lady who appeared to be in her twenties knew this song by heart. Dad and I both just listened and laughed and forgot why we were there for just a little bit. Thank you Emily and all the nurses who try to put a smile on your face despite what you or even themselves may be going through.

St. Cecelia is the patroness of musicians. This song is about how fickle the songwriter thinks she is; how inspiration comes and goes and sometimes seems to be given to someone else.

For some reason, this is giving me vibes of South American folk music, like a band is playing this as they stroll down a winding mountain road. They are probably wearing colourful ponchos.

The percussion is actually really difficult to get right. It's made by handclaps, thighclaps, guitarclaps, footstamps and more. I LOVE this song. takes me WAY back! Back to 1970! (The same kind of percussion is used in their song "Baby Driver").

Released on this day(January 26) in 1970, Simon & Garfunkel's fifth and final great studio album "Bridge Over Troubled Water". Cheers!

First heard this on a Pan American 747 heading into London from Los Angeles in its original release.. Listened to it over and over as the Boeing replayed it every hour. One of the great early harmonies. Fun ride. As we entered London airspace, the Captain announced it was the maiden voyage of the plane (!) The lights had been blinking and other things along the way so it was quite a relief for my mom and dad. We landed and then toured England and Scotland (our ancestry) -- still a favorite and probably the earliest major harmony I heard (I have relative perfect pitch which is somewhat of a curse frankly.)

B-side was The Only Living Boy in New York.

Ever since I was 1year old this song was played for me. Even though I had no Idea of what the lyrics meant besides "Cecilia" It always brought me joy by its upbeat, still does today
