As we were sending my mother in law to the cremetorium my baby daughter passed wind... my mother in law always burped my daughter, then when I was putting my daughter into our car after the service a sun shaped toy that played you are my sunshine when you pulled the cord started playing... but nobody touched it, my mother in law always sang this song to my daughter... think what you may... I believe death is like having a general anaesthetic, you are there one minute then you fall asleep and unless you are awaken again you never come back... that is it.. your last breathe is all there is for you in this life
I'm only 53 and had been lamenting my age recently. Then I caught this and read a few of the comments. Not only am I ok with my age now, but figure I'm exactly where I'm supposed to be hearing exactly what I'm supposed to. The absolutely blessed voices of these two. The Lord gives out plenty of gifts and talents. However, rarely so divinely inspired as this. Beautiful is too simple a word.
Amazing!!!! Been listening to these guys my whole life. I'm 64 now and I'll never tire of their music, their lyrics. The best of the best. Love you guys ❤
He must have liked it cos a few years later He said "Let there be 3-Part Harmony" - and we got Crosby, Stills and Nash. A little later still... along came America, then the Eagles! How blessed are we?!
What a great duet...fantastic music from decades ago....yes 56yrs...I'm 67 and still enjoy great music from decades ago...FOREVER...it brings back great memories and tears to my eyes
Art has the voice of an angel, and Simon is an amazing musician. His opening guitar intro was magic, and he sang harmony for the whole song... just magic.
50 plus years, my entire life their music has been standing tall as likely the best male duo ever to perform, write and gift the world with the music they made. I can't think of another that even comes close to the quality and depth of the songs they've recorded.
My brother is deaf. This song always made me feel not alone. He was 11 months older than me. He was shot. And killed. This will forever be his song for me. Thank you
These are just amongst the best songs that have ever been written in modern music history. Few performers make me cry, I'm an unreformed old style man so crying is not what I do, but I have to confess these songs just make tears pour out of my eyes. Although the vocal performances of Garfunkel are amazing and add much to the music, it really is the song writing talents of Simon. How does he go there? How does he reach into the place where the "ragged people go"? How does he know about being so lonesome to seek some comfort with prostitutes? It has to be an act of empathy as Simon when he wrote these lyrics would certain have not known about raggedness and loneliness. They are brilliant songs but, sadly, have not had the same endurance as, say the Rolling Stones or the Beatles but are at least their equal if not plunging depths that they have never achieved. I know Simon will never read these words, probably nobody will ever read these words they are a note to silence, but thank you so much for bringing these songs into the world. They do mean so much to so many.
Long, long after this pair leave us they will still be with us. The definition of legacy. The cornerstone, the rock, the foundation, and the standard that few have come close to.
Pour moi c'est cela le meilleur rock and roller au monde comme les crédence, vérité, respect, liberté, les ballades, la belle amérique fantastique mais fantasmée en France car beaucoup d'idéologies existaient cachés à ceux qui ne pouvaient pas y aller aujourd'hui bien installés en France, Vive les artistes musiciens et chanteurs des années lumières de respect et de beauté, merci.
kudos to these two artists. We all got older but the music remains hauntingly beautiful. If there is a good memory of the good old days, these two are it. Thank you Art and Paul, for the songs, memories and dreams.
Lucky to have witnessed the performance of this legendary tandem even on You Tube. They and their songs will be remembered for all eternity. Big respect and admiration for the greatest duet of all time--Simon and Garfunkel.
Permit me to share what i found out about BOTW: early this year i stumbled over an end-time teaching in youtube by the late Rev. Neville Johnson.. towards the end, he read an "old" prophetic message from a secular song- to my surprise it was the whole lyrics of BOTW.. penned by Paul, who, in his interview could not clearly explain how he got to write it, it just popped out he said, with Art in his mind to sing it for commercial purpose (Art's voice was in his prime and sealed the message w/his heavenly voice). Written in the late 60's and released in early 70's in the time for the Charismatic revival.. The "Silver Girl" is The Bride of Christ..He (Jesus) is the one singing the message of HOPE to the true Church bec His Bride is now entering the turbulent times.. Jesus is the only true "bridge over troubled water" that can comfort and ease our weariness when darkest comes.. But hope does not dismay bec all "her dreams are on their way" - Redemption draws nigh.
It's the same reason I'm crying and messaging you, it's because it moves us so emotionally that we have to say to everyone this is as good as it gets and we all wish to tell everyone this is how it should be and how we all should feel when we hear such beautiful sounds
me and my girlfriend Kathy listened to these guys driving around in my 69 mach 1, by the way Kathy has been my wife for more than 50 years. just couldn't get enough of these beautiful singers and their awesome songs. they can not ever be replaced. Best ever. still brings on the tears.
You know what? 1st time when I enjoyed their songs was my high school days. It's so great to enjoy S&G after all these years. I'm a Japanese and never been abroad, however S&G's songs tell us something about that MUSIC is an international language.
Die besten Musiker aller Zeiten. Wenn man sie nur noch 1 Mal zusammen sehen/hören könnte. Nur zusammen sind sie das was sie sind. Ich liebe sie. Die Kraft der Lieder bleibt für immer. 1.Klasse
56 years ago I heard S&G for the first time. 56 years later I cannot think of a better duet in the world. It is not so terribly strange to be 70 while their music is in the air...
Your talking about a dude that loves Led zeppelin, ac/dc,zz top etc. but no matter what genre of music you like there’s no denying these two guys are the very best at what they do.
The land of the free and the home of the brave! We are the most giving country in the world today. We share our heart with each other and allow our energy to flow. We must learn to love and accept each other, not the behavior but the person. As I walk my path today I feel each of you guide my way--thank you.
Its amazing how they blend together afer long time apart. True musician. You two will live forever... they truly connect their audience and of us who watched this...
Simon and Garfunkel may have aged a bit but their music has not aged,it's become more wonderfula and engaging.keep up the good work boys for the next 25years.from colleen Harris,cairns,australia
My dearest friend... will laugh out loud with this song....to be so profound like us and the and Simon and Garfunkel.....Amazing song for us the believers!!!
@@tenaciousdan5831 Forget the auto tune and look at the effort of the performance. Id see the point if they were starting off a career with auto tune but their in credit when it comes to ability.
Still watching, listening and crying in 2024 ❤️

I was driving to a funeral home to pick up my mothers ashes when Bridge over troubled waters came on the radio and God touched me through this song.

I'm in tears. After so long, still so perfect together.

I'm from Russia, and I love the duo Simon & Garfunkel !
Arlington National Cemetery.
These guys are 68 here and are a good as ever. No one quite like them.
Good to see them together. Singing. In unity. The forgiveness.
Thank you Lord for these 2 geniuses
Nothing beats the songs of 50's until the 70's - beautiful, meaningful, clean. 😍
This is the true meaning of music... Love it... ❤
I met them at the Phillies stadium. They were so kind. They said thank you for liking our music.
Don't care what there differences were, when they get together it's pure magic.
It's hard sometimes... but it will always be special,,
to many of us...pure magic, pure words of the soul
and music of the heart.. xx
We are sure thai explendid
Amazing!!!! Been listening to these guys my whole life. I'm 64 now and I'll never tire of their music, their lyrics. The best of the best. Love you guys ❤
Who is still loving this beautiful music with me in 2020

First heard them back in the early 1960's . They still sound great.
Great duo!! I love Their musics for more Than a half century. They’re great and allways be while many of us keep on Alive.
@@billstokes6740 wow
Paul Simon you were Brilliant, Thank you for your amazing songs

They are the nearest I have ever known....... x

He must have liked it cos a few years later He said "Let there be 3-Part Harmony" - and we got Crosby, Stills and Nash. A little later still... along came America, then the Eagles! How blessed are we?!
If this was my last album on earth it would be this ❤
Art Garfunkel is absolutely amazing always was and always will be!
What a great duet...fantastic music from decades ago....yes 56yrs...I'm 67 and still enjoy great music from decades ago...FOREVER...it brings back great memories and tears to my eyes
We'll never see this talent level again. Amazing writing and performance. Simply amazing.
It was a time and an age.. Never to be equaled, we are so lucky to have them with us
I would absolutely love to think you are wrong .
But I'll bet you're not . . . . .
And this is what we witnessed that the kids of today miss out on, God i m glad i m old!!!!
Art has the voice of an angel, and Simon is an amazing musician. His opening guitar intro was magic, and he sang harmony for the whole song... just magic.

You dont need gold and glitter to perform amazingly. their songs live forever.
Pure art and not commercialism. Two outstanding musicians.
Deer Slayer Why he is called Art Garfunkel
Classic song writer and guitar player. Classic vocalist. Perfect harmony. The best duo. The world will grow old but never your songs...
Magnifique chanson et superbes chanteurs
OMG this is music that never ever gets old....pure gold stuff.
Hello Susana,
How are you doing ?
Hi, how are you doing my friend?
50 plus years, my entire life their music has been standing tall as likely the best male duo ever to perform, write and gift the world with the music they made. I can't think of another that even comes close to the quality and depth of the songs they've recorded.
Yes l couldn't agree more 😊😊😊
My brother is deaf. This song always made me feel not alone. He was 11 months older than me. He was shot. And killed. This will forever be his song for me. Thank you
Garfunkel's harmonies towards the end of The Boxer are OUT OF THIS WORLD
Beautiful... how do they both remain in tune with all the variations going on is stunning
I'm 40, I love this style of music a huge dead fan as well why can't modern artist get even close to this level of talent!?

The easy singing from simon and the full passion of garfunkel... legendary
Long, long after this pair leave us they will still be with us. The definition of legacy. The cornerstone, the rock, the foundation, and the standard that few have come close to.
Love you guys. You are so awesome.
Two men , One guitar. Ruled the world
One cello.
Jonathan Raphael....For real, these two were untouchables in their hey day and even here as older men. I adore them and their priceless music.
two microphones.
...and not one comb
Two legends who have still got it in abundance, God bless you both. ...
I remember them .I was 10 years old boy.Thanks GOD AGAIN GIVING ME POSSIBILITY TO LISTEN AND WATCHING SIMON AND GARFUNKEL.

I am so thankful they were in my generation. Thank you Paul Simon for your beautiful music and awesome lyrics.

oh. yes thank you paul and Art for being a better part of us.=. x
I"m 65 by July and I first heard their in late 70"s.Not tired of hearing their music. One of the few good singers I admired.
Lucky to have witnessed the performance of this legendary tandem even on You Tube. They and their songs will be remembered for all eternity. Big respect and admiration for the greatest duet of all time--Simon and Garfunkel.
Paul still writes and sings beautiful music ❤
Kids, listen and learn, a music masterclass.
This is What Is Called Brilliant Talent!! Their Voice and Paul Simon's Gift of writing Master Pieces. This is what you call "Legendary"!!!!❤❤
Through all the bitterness, you can still see the smiles on their faces towards each other. Especially from Paul.....
Paul finally accepted that art sang his songs too perfectly and he couldn't do without him
The music these guys create is timeless and is a tribute to the glory of life.

Why does it bring tears to my eyes when they join in together at sail on silver girl?
I have no idea why I am typing this crying.
Because you are a feeling human being who appreciates good soulful music!
Daniel Smith... I'm crying too. I cry every single time I hear these two sings. It's not a sadness, just tears of sheer pleasure. March 2021.

They sung this songs a million times but they still make me feel like its the first time they sing it.
Probably the most eternal song of the 20th century.
I first heard these guys in 1969. Have loved this album ever since.
I was in 6th grade back in 69, studied the song in English class.....great times
Glad to see 2 good friends together and sang ❤songs for us.
2023 I still Love this song.

I grew up with this music but now it takes on so much more with a newness after I lost my wife to cancer 3 years ago.

Hello There,
How are you doing ?
Hello, how are you doing my friend?
jesus, art's voice is just... hypnotizing
Still at this age? Thank you ! I thought i'm the only one who believed 💖
He's been blessed with an angelic voice.
How he says lalaala is crazy
How blessed we are to live during this time in History, whilst 'Simon and Garfunkel' walk the Earth.
🇨🇦✌🏻🎶🎸❤️
Hello Lorraine,
How are you doing ?
So much softness in these voices …….what a great pleasure
Perfect blending, one of the most unique duet in the folksongs world!
Absolutely wonderful ! There will never be a Simon & Garfunkel again ! The music, the flair .... it brings tears to my eyes !
It is really true, they are unique..
You know what? 1st time when I enjoyed their songs was my high school days.
It's so great to enjoy S&G after all these years. I'm a Japanese and never been abroad, however S&G's songs tell us something about that MUSIC is an international language.
The 12oo people who gave this a thumbs down have zero appreciation for music.
This song had so much meaning to so many...and each was unique....but for soooo many people, this song evokes tender memories.
These guys are the loves of my youth. Their music, their lyrics and their voices are always as beautiful as it used to be. Wonderfull ! ! !
Glad to feel the same, happy someone else feels it.. deep nostalgia, joy, thought, and hope in these weird times.
I'm glad the love of my youth (I'm 19 yrs. old) is Jesus Christ, waiting soon for His return ( Revelation 1:7)...
2021 All our years of listening from the boys sending love. I am now in my sixties. we are still here???
Their voices are so in harmony… i wish their relationship was, too. 💜
Paul’s musicality off the scale. Arts voice though is hauntingly chilling. Real music at its finest.
Real people telling real stories,God gifted and everlasting music ,trough out all ages ☝️
Good one Derek
