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

[@MultiStrickland]

Good to see Paul keeping drummers in work

[@ralphsmith3529]

This song is so beautifully crafted and has some of the most thought provoking lyrics o any Paul Simon song! Genius!

[@marcosmoeller6893]

Wonderful music with a brazilian blood! I love it!

[@edfulginiti8798]

P. S. has given the musical world sooo much. God bless him.

[@erickrabello]

This is the brazilian swing!
Love this track since he recorded with Olodum.

[@chrisgallighan3869]

i just love this song its very very good

[@grahamtait8031]

One of his best and sadly underplayed

[@spinztarella]

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!

Oh oh Child !!!!

Is there anything that Mark Stewart can't play? He's amazing.

[@LukeMaynard]

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 :(

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

[@borisos9832]

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)

[@corneliamartens9187]

Sooo good!!!

[@tolbiny36]

Those chord changes!!! D: The chords themselves are simple, but only Paul can do /that/.

[@mikelanius4798]

I tried playing them as fast as him and ended up with the strong hand from Scary Movie 2.

[@rberliner6680]

I saw them drums, too

[@adcbarauna]

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

[@michaelb5639]

Does not get any better.....! Still I am struggling with the lyrics.... What is it all about?

[@TheTinyAutistsGuideToTheGalaxy]

I think it's about the bitterweet nature of aging? But that answer seems to obvious.

[@James-ke4gq]

why deny the obvious child?

[@clarejackson6682]

Why deny the obvious.... child

[@alexaranha2571]

A base da percussão está errada

[@adcbarauna]

Perfeita nessa música foi a percussão do Olodum com Neguinho do Samba

[@shawnmaher-xw6je]

N😮
