Cecilia
Simon & Garfunkel Lyrics

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

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

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.

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.

Yes, I struggle with that. The world moves on and you don't see it. I can remember my first "album". It was Dusty Springfield. I bought it from a little record shop in Hertford (long gone) and brought it home and reverently put it on the turntable. I had to be so careful. I lost track of pop music circa 1980. I really don't believe that this crop will have the staying power of The Beatles, The Kinks, 10cc, Dusty, Simon and Garfunkel, James Taylor, Bowie, The Eagles etc. It is too disposeable.

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").

My high school sign language teacher almost let me and another girl do this song for a project, but she was concerned about the line of "I got up to wash my face, when I go back to bed someone's taken my place." She said it sounded like a veiled reference to oral sex, and she was worried she would get in trouble if the wrong person heard she allowed it. So now I just sign it almost every time I hear it playing! I've always loved the peppy beat of this song (even though the lyrics are a tiny bit depressing) and it's really fun to sign.

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.)

This song was on the B side of a 45 I bought for the A side tune, can't remember which one as I had many. Thought to myself this was the best B side of a record ever, even at the tender age of about ten.

I love this song. I truly do. But whenever I listen to this, I get flashbacks to the time I tripped down some stairs and sprained my middle finger in a desperate attempt to save my laptop (which was playing Cecelia) from falling.
