Does not matter what year it is , now 2024) , but this song will play for the years to come ❤
Agree all! 👍🏴
its 2028 so you dont know
I once heard an interview when he was asked “ why don’t you write songs? His reply “ I’m only a singer!” My God, what a singer!!!!
Пусть каждый делает своё,
Что лучше прочих он умеет,
" Что не моё, то значит, не моё ".
И упрекнуть его никто не смеет.
Haunting. And so deeply moving. Misty eyes.
I love Art, he's got a presence which is gorgeous. A bit high pitched though in his voice. That doesn't matter. Anyway, the appeal of this song is all in the melody, the writing, the composition in general, not the performance. No matter how much we love Art.

La verdad no sé cuándo empezamos a perder esta música maravillosa . Lo de ahora es una música realmente caótica . Dios permita volver a esa época de verdaderos cantantes .
Remember, this is 'live' with no auto-tune! Boy, can he sing. What a voice, what a talent. Just close your eyes and let yourself go.
I'd say he is blessed with perfect pitch. Honestly, I think both he and Paul have perfect pitch. That only makes their harmonization all the more outstanding.
For my daughter Catherine in heaven she loved this song xx
A beautiful song. I rescue animals, every time one goes to a better place I play this song 😢. I hate playing it but so relevant. Your daughter knows you're playing it.
I'm sorry for your loss
Sending all my sincerest love ❤❤❤😢😢😢😢😢❤❤❤ 3:24
God bless her what a fantastic song
❤❤
One of the most beautiful songs/melodies ever written! This for my daughter who passed away a week ago. I called her Bright Eyes 🌹❤️🌹
So sorry for your loss, Nancy. Agree about the song and Art's rendition tears at the heartstrings. The pain of the bereaved parent goes on for ever. I've been there, I am there 13 years on from losing the older of my boys at 18.
@@AllanMDodd Thank you Allan. My heart goes out to you as well. My brother like St his son about 5 yrs ago IDK how to get beyond it all...
My thoughts are with you xx
Sorry for your loss! ❤️
I am so sorry for your loss❤
What a beautiful voice and a truly moving song. I love Art Garfunkel.❤
One of the most Beautiful songs I have ever heard in my life
I can't think of any other that makes me want to cry.
One of the most beautful songs that I have heard
Agreed. I think I make it my funeral song.
One of the most beautiful films and soundtracks too 🙂
i remember i was 2y.o sleeping on d crib
Me, too, man. Seriously. Just unreal. For a cigarette smoker, Art sure knows how to be the best singer that ever lived! LOL ;P
@@poyjpaxson767 haha. Stop crinkling your diaper when you toss and turn. It's too noisy.
Yeah, that wasn't creepy to say.
Who is watching in 2024 🎉❤
Me in March 2024 and the last 10 years at least
Me tonight
Hadn't heard this in years till I just watched Black Mirror Season 6 Episode 5....What an incredible song....
Me as I love this and have done for many many years
i am 🙂
Doesn't matter if those in the U.S. liked it or not, I love this song, and I am from the U.S. Garfunkel is a treasure, first with Simon, then with himself, and then with Simon. There are Songs my fellow Americans do not accept, I pay no mind. I had Garfunkel's Break away album. Thank you for saring, it means alot.
This song "Bright Eyes " is absolutely heartbreaking and haunting, but yet so glorious, poignant and beautiful!❤
Well described
Absolutely agree with you! 👍🏴
As a child and teenager, there were two songs that I could not listen to without falling into a pit of angst.
Two songs that I loved. And very different songs at that. Bright Eyes and We are the champions.
Very strange. I still love them.
My labrador had bright eyes had to send him to sleep at 13 years and 5 days old 20/07/23 😭😭😭😭miss my mac boy so bad 😢😢
My boy left 6 months ago. No pain or feelings cmpare. So sorry for your loss. 😪😭
@@markhartig8459 thanks means a lot
@@markhartig8459 thank you mark
Wonderful singer. We saw him in concert several years ago and he just stood on the stage, opened his mouth and sang with no effort. What a star.
My late husband's name is John (Johnny)!
@Yeeehaaaw So what?
You were so lucky ....then
Exactly. It looks effortless and perhaps is for him.
Simply magical!!!
This song was etched into my memory as a child after Watership down was watched many times daily. So when Black Mirror added it to the Demon 79 episode I was literally stopped in my tracks of what I was doing. My mind associates this song with dying and suffering animals. I can’t listen to it without being reduced to a sniveling wreck. So I’m trying to keep listening to it so I can stop that. Still working on it. Beautiful song.
I've literally just started watching Demon 79 and now I'm contemplating watching Watership Down instead but know I'll be crying at the end... And I'm 44!
That episode was actually my first encounter with the song. I like Simon & Garfunkel and have heard lots of Simon's solo work, but very little of Art's. Had to immediately look up (and as a musician/singer, learn lol) this song.
@@TonyWilson615 Demon 79 reminded me of Simon and Garfunkel and my youth. Had to search for it online. Beautiful song, and the episode one of my favourite in Black Mirror.
Me too
Same too , at one point
Written by Englander Mike Blatt and sung by one of the most underrated singers on earth.
Mike Batt.👍
A song about a Rabbit written by a Bat
Never under rated he’s one of the best singers ever
Art’s voice is like the cool, wispy mist just before dawn; soft, gentle & so refreshing. Beautiful gift🌹
Art Garfunkel What An Amazing Iconic Musician. Sent from England UK 🇬🇧 🫡💗
You can come with…Into eternal oblivion?? Oh no it’s much worse than that, it’s with me. Ok, I’ll give it a go 🙂
Such an amazing voice, such a beautiful song.
Still can't listen to this without becoming a tear and snot factory.
I bawl all the way through this song!! I'm an embarrassment. :D
We are in the same club...
@@bjoybeads the tear and snot club? 🤔
Love his clear sweet tenor!
Bridge over troubled water and bright eyes superb tunes they never grow old.
Garfunkel & Simon are great together and apart. Simon is the greatest American songwriter.
Well, yes, apart from Holland, Dozier and Holland; Ira Gershwin, Sammy Cahn, Bob Dylan, Cole Porter and a few others. And of course, this song is by an bloody Englishman.
He is such a wonderful singer!
Get over the lip sync people. It is not miming. Technical problems happen. Enjoy the fact that you are just able to watch it.
Black Mirror S06E05
Only he can have such an ethereal voice. The song is also written beautifully with magnificent harmonies.
I am here after Black Mirror season 6 finale. 👋
Same
This fella is just ridiculously talented
Mighty voice art. He owns this
I buried my grandfather today. And this was one of the songs during the ceremony. The lyrics add up with the way i felt. ♥️

I watch this in 2024. My youth lives again. I love this Song.
What a great song! What a beautiful voice!
I cant hear this without crying over my cat Sabrina, her bright green eyes closing for the very last time, after 19 years with her, she broke my heart when she went. I miss her so desperately, she was with me half my life, I want her to come back again.
One day (the latest, I hope) you'll see her again in Heaven 💗💗💗
I know that feeling
Me too. Too many times.@@clintsherman5797
I love him. This is what passion in singing means.
what a great voice after all these years, i love it
I had tears as a child watching Watership Down and listening to it now it brings back the same feelings. Fiver was right in what he feared would become of the world........
Oh yes, it's not for kids. I too watched it as a kid and as an adult and it still is really tough on me, very impressing and hitting a deep spot in one's soul. I don't think anyone can handle this movie. But the storyline and the way thd movie was made and the soundtrack (also by Angela Morley who at first was a little reluctant to make a soundtrack for this movie, thank god they persuaded her to do it) ..a-m-a-z-i-n-g!
OMG YES about Watership Down! One of my favorite movies of all time. Very moving when this song played.
I had a fiver once, but I spent it on beer
Such a beautiful voice. I am so fortunate to have grown up hearing such great singers on the radio.
Is it a kind of a dream
Floating out on the tide
Following the river of death downstream
Oh, is it a dream?
There's a fog along the horizon
A strange glow in the sky
And nobody seems to know where it goes
And what does it mean?
Oh, is it a dream?
Bright eyes, burning like fire
Bright eyes, how can you close and fail?
How can the light that burned so brightly
Suddenly burn so pale?
Bright eyes
Is it a kind of a shadow
Reaching into the night
Wandering over the hills unseen
Or is it a dream?
There's a high wind in the trees
A cold sound in the air
And nobody ever knows when you go
And where do you start?
Oh, into the dark
Bright eyes, burning like fire
Bright eyes, how can you close and fail?
How can the light that burned so brightly
Suddenly burn so pale?
Bright eyes
Bright eyes, burning like fire
Bright eyes, how can you close and fail?
How can the light that burned so brightly
Suddenly burn so pale?
Bright eyes
There is one dislike for this music, for the love of God WWwwwhhyy ? This song was played in my childhood and will always make me reminisce of the simpler times when life was so easy. Thanks for the upload.
Haunting song. I saw this as a child in the cinema in 1978 film Watership Down. As the film finished, grown men were crying.
16 of them now. There will always be mean people who want to share feeling bad?
TL:DR - black mirror plus art Garfunkel equals watership down memories that leave me in tears, hip hop hooray.
I can’t hear this song without seeing scenes from watership down in my brain (a mandatory in-class movie viewing in grade 3, which we then had to write a report on). Most of the kids were 8-9, I had just turned 7 because I’d skipped first grade. When I tell you, almost every parent was called to pick up their kids early because all of us were in tears by the end of the day lol. Especially my 7 year old self, who was an animal lover and a very sensitive kid. Didn’t matter though, we were all still expected to write a report on it the next day. lol.
Ah the 70s-80s. Inducing childhood trauma via cartoons.
So glad this song came up own black mirror episode…didn’t even realize what song was playing in the background of the episode until my partner asked me why I was crying…I didn’t realize I had teared up. And he goes “ugh I hate this song, always reminds me of watership down”…and bam, that’s when it hit me and I realized my face was leaking because I heard that song in the background lol. And, in fact, I LOVE this haunting and beautiful song!! But damn it sure brings back sad bunny images. lol
So. Thanks black mirror and art Garfunkel for reminding me of childhood cartoon trauma.
It’s been a pleasure.
I feel like dreaming, it seems to me to be on a cloud that carriers me higher and higher hearing this fabulous song.
I came here from Black mirror
We played this at my best pal's funeral on he's request 💙 I'll never forget you son bless me with the kindness only a few knew RIP GAZ 🙏 🪦 😢😢
A hidden gem of a song. That intro melody along with Ark’s distinct husky voice is a magical combo.
Just love watching these old school live performances. Is that his wife in the background doing the backup vocals?? She’s hot 🔥 ❤❤
For me: this song is one of the best and beautiful. What a voice. Thank you: Art Garfunkel.
lily agrees my dad signs it better and hes drunk again
Listening to this in lockdown and missing my mum away from me in self isolation with my dad...:(
lol
God bless, peace and happiness you both.❤🙏🙏
I consider this song to be Art's most impressive vocal rendition.
Bridge Over Troubled Water would top the list for me. But this is up there
Love you Art always have for what 35 maybe 40 years you still can sing great voice love it❤
Try Bridge Over Troubled Water. It will blow your mind
Божественное, неповторимое исполнение шедевра! Браво, маэстро!
I just love this song .also the flim reminds me of my first rabbit brings tears to my eyes😪💘💖💞
I tried to watch the film but was too much.❣️😨
I remember I lost my rabbit and all my pets I have lost bring me to tears every Time I love this song beautiful 😍
Watership Down. Absolutely incredible film, and book. Thank you, Art Garfunkel, for writing such a beautiful song for the film. ❤️
It was written by English songwriter Mike Batt.
BUT, it was sang beautifully and brought to the attention of so many through Art Garfunkel’s presentation and awesome voice.
A beautiful film and a wonderful English folk story.
Demon79 ❤🩹
Orinoco himself
One of the most beautiful songs, yet saddest songs ever written!! WELL DONE MIKE BATT!!!!!
An all time favourite of mine - so many good songs from that era!
Perfect song to watch the world explode because of atomic bombs while you escape into the void with your demon boyfriend disguised as the dancer from Boney M.
such a beautiful song in 2024
What a truly amazing performance, maybe the greatest achievement of our lifetime.
What he achieved was nothing short of genius,the money he raised breathtaking and all because he cared,we should all be ashamed of ourselves that we didn't did more to help.
Thank you Bob you were and still are a legend we all owe you and always will.
OH THAT VELVET VOICE CROSSING THE SPACE.
Every time I've lost a cat I think of this song it always makes me cry
Stop losing cats
@@michaelcharlong5645 Cold.
How beautiful. I always see those little rabbits when I hear you sing this song. So wistful and sad.
His emotion kills me 🥺🥺
3:22 precious little doll. She also kills me.
Me too 💟
I first heard this when I was in about 12 ,water ship down was being watched during class at Christmas,
Now am 47 sat in lockdown, remembering what happened to my child hood.
Don't give up on your dreams if you have a chance to seek them.
Sooner or later the world will trap you with mortgages and loans and you become a slave to the system
Don't give in...we all have voices and musings.
God's lead choir boy
The lady in the back is Kim Garfunkel (maiden name Cermak)! They've been married since 1988.
If I go up to Heaven... Art better be singing....
When my son was a very little boy he loved this song. He’s 50 now but it reminds me of when he was little, happy days.😅
God bless you and your son! 👍💙🏴
Art Garfunkel knew the songs perfectly that suited his voice. This one really does. Each and every time I hear many of his songs, they sound just as beautiful. He's a National Treasure.
Angelic voice! 👍🏴
@@zoki-kj3ox Art Garfunkel's son, Art Garfunkel Jr., also has an excellent voice and sings beautifully.
@@laura309 Oh, yes I know! 👍
This is the song I come to whenever someone I love dies. It is a fullness of sorrow and connection and still isolation.
Idol my fav song amazing 0:36
One of the saddest, profound songs of all time. So poignantly grabbing at the beautiful frailty of life.
I've always liked Art's voice much more than Paul's...no coincidence that Garfunkel sang Bridge Over Troubled Water is it?...
Ironically, it was Paul Simon who insisted that Garfunkel sing the song alone, even arranging the song for piano to better suit his voice, but Garfunkel thought it was better suited to Simon's voice, eventually persuading Simon to add his vocals to a verse at the end.
They were totally different entities. Garfunkel was Angelic, Simon the folk singer. They did great stuff put together
One of them could sing, one of them could write good songs. A perfect duo, they were.
@@metaluna1000
Amazing, unequalled work together...
Made history.
i'm sorry i have to do this to paul but on the live show in 2009 the lines he sang on bridge over troubled water were just not good at all it just sounded weird the way the timing was in the lines
What a wonderful song with a wonderful voice! Now I'm 68 and I like to hear it all through the years!
Old friend, you were always so great. Love you, Art. I been your fan for 50+ years. Now we both got old.
Same here
I'm 69.im glad I'm alive
I wish I had his brain
It's a shame the audio quality isn't that great because this performance is beautiful.
The audio is fine. Nothing gets in the way of his voice. He is the Chuck Norris of singing, make NO mistake.
@@joelalexander4513 If I turn it all the way up, it hurts the ears, and it shouldn't. The keyboards in the beginning are distorted. The music and vocals are awesome, just poor recording quality.
Black mirror brought me here
This is my first funeral song. Sends shivers down my spine
For my beautiful daughter Freya and all the others taken too soon❤
As a fan of Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel and each of their solo, an animal🐴🦘🐕🐘🐿️🐫🐓🐦🦜🦈🐬🐳 especially a rabbit🐇 lover, an admirer of Richard Adams , as well as a passionate reader of Watership Down myself, the song 🎶🎤🎸🎼🎷Bright Eyes
enchant 💕me a lot.
Garfunkel Sucked HARD. Riding on the coattail of Simon. Only reason he is in the HOF
Who can forget hazel and bigwig ❤❤❤
Reading Watership Down right now actually.
Огромное спасибо за нежное и трогательное исполнение!море положительных эмоций!
the saddest song I ever heard... when my bunny Princess Hoppy (on Bunspace) died, this song always expresses my tears and sorrow...like none other. But I will see her again; she is with the Lord and on her grave on Good Friday grew white Geraniums that weren't planted there.....
Being a music nut, I have watched and listened to many many songs from all genres and different countries.
I have to say this is one of my top 3 favourites.
This is rarest of the rarest.
A live performance sounding better than the studio version.
Watching his gorgeous wife doing the backup vocals is just so heart warming.
You can pickup her voice in the middle part and slightly towards the end.
Art is so lucky to have such a beautiful gorgeous wife doing a gig with him every where.
Art’s unique voice and The instrumental arrangements, integrations and harmonisations are to perfection!! You can hear Art singing techniques varied throughout this song. With intense breathing at the beginning…
Thanks to black mirror this song will forever be creepy.
So beautiful the music so calm the can calm anxiety
@PowerOf One I wish I could hug you. ❤️
Fenomenální .KRÁSA.
Don't read the book! It's a hard read and the film is really sad!!
The music is too loud for this beautiful song.
@@benjaminsidneykidd-bentley3966 I read the book several years ago and if memory serves I found it wonderful, hard only because of the sadness I felt.
Un tema inmortal . No podía ser interpretado por una voz tan linda y armoniosa , como lo es la de Garfunkel . Emociona hasta las lágrimas escucharlo .
Learned about this song from Black Mirror what a crazy ending
one of the most underrated singers in the music history
How is Art Garfunkel underrated? Are you insane? He's one of the most famous singers of all time, part of arguably the most famous singer-songwriter duo of all time
@@brixled_ i think by "underrated" he means, not given full credit for how good he is. It is not an insult to Garfunkel, more a comment about music fans.
Had he said: "overrated" THAT would be an insult because it would mean he was given credit for being better than he is. And that is certainly not the case.
Not underated if you.followed all his concert , you see how audiences responded .
He IS underrated if you guage today's general audience. He's virtually unheard of. H e slipped thru the cracks for a spell. But let's not be silly about it. After all, we know he is amazing.
He has the voice of an angel.No one else like him with or without Paul ❤❤
I’m not particularly religious as I’ve an extremely open mind and I don’t rule out many things. However , this is a beautiful tune and lyrics and I’m sure I sang this and the same tune when I was 10 years young in primary school 45 years ago.
Mein Leben lang höre🥀 ich Simon und Garfunkel💕 dieser Sond gehört an die Spitze 🎶Mega danke Art für deine einzigartige STIMME🥀
lovely song makes me think of lovely rabbits jumping around .
Desde mi pequeño Chile, y en español… amo, AMO esta canción… y cuando haya partido de este mundo, mi hijo sabrá que esta será una de las canciones que sonará como els bello requiem… joya absoluta de nuestra música 👌🏻🙌🏻👍🏻
Hermoza cancion y quien la canta voz de angel
Demon79 episode of BM brought me here.
The snare drum is so good and the violins when he says close and fade
For me very touching and sad a really brilliant song sung by Art Garfungel absolutely an evergreen ballad.
I use to cry to this but now can't stop listening I love his voice and singing bless him ❤❤❤
Black Mirror 6. season 5. episode final son. AWESOME 💌
when I hear this song, it reminds me of my childhood and how innocent we all were. now, I see the same bright eyes in my two children.
One of the few voices in this world that is far, FAR better live than through studio. Incredible.
I don't know how he can sing it without crying
It’s about the effects of poison on wild rabbits.
