what is it with paul simon writing the perfect opening tracks to his records? boy in the bubble and this are both masterpieces and perfectly establish the musical themes of the records
Bravo, bravo! I hadn't seen this video before, just the one with the Brazilian drummers and I was wondering how they were going to present it on a stage. This is SUPERB!
Thanks for reminding me of the album title. One of the few i have bought in my life (housemartins, b52s for some reason, some beatles are the others ;), plus some of my country)
Paul simon and all his long time musicians African and not are best in the century going far back. I miss Richard Tee a lot. Paul should never care about awards - he is so far beyond others it’s like what do they know!!!
A percussão é boa mas nem chega perto do Olodum e Neguinho do Samba, basta ouvir o ao vivo no Central Park e comparar, cada um tem seu estilo mas o Olodum é inigualável

This song is so beautifully crafted and has some of the most thought provoking lyrics o any Paul Simon song! Genius!
Good to see Paul keeping drummers in work
This is the brazilian swing!
Love this track since he recorded with Olodum.
P. S. has given the musical world sooo much. God bless him.
Wonderful music with a brazilian blood! I love it!
i just love this song its very very good
One of his best and sadly underplayed

Thanks for posting this awesome track, originally from The Rythm of the Saints I think. One of my favourites!

Oh oh Child !!!!
Over ten years and only 50 thousand views for this specific upload!
Luv this tune!
Sooo good!!!
Those chord changes!!! D: The chords themselves are simple, but only Paul can do /that/.
I tried playing them as fast as him and ended up with the strong hand from Scary Movie 2.

I'd give my right arm for that gorgeous Olson 12-string... except then I'd have an Olson guitar and no arm to strum it with :(
Is there anything that Mark Stewart can't play? He's amazing.
The best......legendary

I saw them drums, too
Does not get any better.....! Still I am struggling with the lyrics.... What is it all about?
I think it's about the bitterweet nature of aging? But that answer seems to obvious.
why deny the obvious child?

No subtitles ever
A base da percussão está errada
Perfeita nessa música foi a percussão do Olodum com Neguinho do Samba
