Heeee're they come, walkin' down the street - it's Mikey, Melissa, Mattie, and Amy. The kids have a Monkees-style romp at the Eggleston family picnic. Set to "Take a Giant Step Outside Your Mind."

    Dear Tony, I too share your feelings about this song. I mourn those who left the room before me. I am now raising my youngest child’s son who keeps me present in the room. Yes, you have tomorrow. May CD all your days be peaceful. E

    I bought this album (8 track) when I came back from Vietnam. It has been a song of reflection & a part of me through out this long life. I am 78 now & I still love this as much now as when I was 22. It is a spiritual experience for me.

    I loved this song then and it was made more poignant when my cousin (we were the same age) died when she was 70. 😥💐

    My friends from my childhood are most in our 70’s now. As bad as Covid was it brought us back together via text messaging. We talk about our memories and Simon and Garfunkel were a big part of my difficult teen years.

    I’ll be 67 in a couple of months. I used to think about my two oldest friends whenever I’d listen to this song, and could picture myself with one or the other of the two of them on that park bench, in our overcoats reminiscing about the fifty years past. They’re both gone now, and the line that still makes me weep for them remains, “Preserve your memories, they’re all that’s left you.” How could I have seen how those words would have come to fruition when we were listening to this at the tender age of 15? Kevin and Marc, I miss you both more than you could ever know, my Brothers. Rest Easy.

    What a wonderful songsmith that Paul Simon is and their two voices are just in perfect harmony together. This song will be in the American song book for years to come ! Greatly appreciate this 🙏 post.

    hello fellow american mothertongue: is the phrase "They're all that's left you" correct? I am italian and have problem grasping. Is the verb "leave" is transitive in this context? is it a wordplay?

    I much prefer this version of the song over the album version with all of that symphonic instrumentation. It's a beautifully delicate song that requires nothing more than two voices and a guitar. Melancholic beauty at its finest.

    I had no idea who Simon and Garfunkel were until my ex introduced me to them and I didn't get hooked then, (I can't believe why and how). but after we parted ways I realized what I had missed all my life. I want to forget her so bad yet every time I listen to S&G, I miss her even more and its impossible for me to not to listen to them. What a predicament!

    Honest the only true friends I ever had were all those from my school years because we had so many things in common and were innocent. I no longer have true friends most are fake, so as i have gotten older I have God he has never once backstabbed me or taken advantage, he only gives and gives.

    “silently sharing the same FEAR...” I used to sing this song to my two boys (older dogs) when I wanted to appreciate their short time on earth, but I was silently fearing their mortality, that one fear S&G sing about. I saw them as two older men, as old friends, growing up and older together. sadly, they are now both gone and I listen to this beautiful version and remember that one fear, but mostly the good memories I had with them...I miss them terribly. “preserve your memories, there all that’s left you”

      First of all I am glad someone so young is listening to music like this. Second, I turned 70 today and it did get here in a jiffy. Lastly, the dread part. If only half of what I hear is going to happen with this "warming" stuff, it will be a challenging time indeed. I wish you and your generation the best.

    i was 7 when this came out and for years i had no fucking idea what this sudsy, folksy tune referred to. decades later i would experience loss of long-time stable friends..everyone in my life and i knew EXACTLY what Simon was writing about.
