Art Garfunkel is singing he is the tall blonde in the back. Paul Simon wrote it, he’s in front. No artist can touch the original. This is it. It gets no better.
After hearing Elvis sing it art turned to someone else in the audience and asked”what do we do now?” I guess he liked Elvis’ rendition and it is great as Elvis was a deeply emotional singer. But art and Paul and company really take it home.
Simon and Garfunkel deserve to be in the rock and roll music hall of fame just for the work they did on this song. Paul wrote the song art sang the song. I can't understand how a person had it within himself to create such a masterpiece of poetry and music. And the thing is he did it over and over again.
Released in 1970. Going on 75 years. As beautiful a piece of music as ever made. Written by genius Paul Simon and masterpiece sung almost completely by Art Garfunkel, the taller one with voice of an angel.
Hi John, and happy NY! Well, it's been so long since I listened to the song, and I never knew Art was featured. But you are right, and anyway it was/IS a beautiful song. You have to appreciate Nasa's reaction! I like it when young people will listen to some old singers.
@@nasaafricareactslifestyle I first heard this in 1968 when I was in High School this and Silent Night and the 7 o'clock news that is a tough one as the news is about the war in Viet Nam in 1967.I went into the Marines in 69
It may be the most perfect song ever written. I've listened to it a thousand times (at least) and performed it live for many decades. Bridge Over Troubled Water always takes me where I wanna be.
This song always gives me goosebumps, but watching you... I am covered with goosebumps! Thank you so much for your beautiful open heart. Thank you for your reaction.
I have watched dozens and dozens of reactions to this song and your's was beautiful and wonderful to watch - you weren't disappointed and I think you were reliving experiences as you listened. Very nice. God Bless. Classic song and Classic Reaction.
Many have covered this song but it will never be as good as the original written and performed by Simon and Garfunkle. Art Garfunkle, the taller one, has the silky smooth voice and Paul Simon is considered by many to be a poetic genius. They were HUGE in the 60's and had numerous hit songs. I bought this album as soon as it came out when I was in 10th grade and played it 100's of times. It won 5 grammys including best song. You probably know the song Sound of Silence which has been covered by Disturbed and Pentatonix which was also written by Paul and was also a huge hit for SandG. I would encourage you to also listen The Boxer, Homeward Bound, Mrs. Robinson and many more. After they split up, Paul went on to write and perform many more hit songs. Also in 1981 they reunited to perform a concert in Central Park in NYC in front of 500,000 adoring fans which can be found on YT. I was touched by your reaction and wish you peace. Beautiful reaction.
Not to get preachy here, but I always thought that if Jesus were to sing a song, He would sing this one. Everything in this song He would do, and indeed He HAS done, for you and I. Beautiful reaction, my dear.
This is a beautiful, heartfelt tribute to friendship. Some, like me, read it in a more religious context. However you look at it, this is simply a timeless classic. Fifty-three years after it hit the top of the charts, we're still listening to it, discussing it, remembering how it helped us through a hard time. Art Garfunkel's gorgeous vocals just add to the beauty and lushness of the song. Many have covered it, but no one has ever done it better than the originator. Crying is probably the standard reaction to it, whether you're hearing it for the first time or the thousandth.
One of the greatest vocal performances of all time both in the studios & live in 1981 in Central Park in front of 500, 000, where Art casually sang this sometimes with his hands in his pockets
Dear friend, thank you for genuine, honest, heartfelt reaction. I first heard this song as a child and, although I could not understand most of the words, Art's voice touched me deeply and it has always been one of the songs of my life. God bless you sister. From Porto, Portugal I wish all the best for the New Year! Please take care.
First of all, my sympathies to you for the loss of your friend; I know what it's like to lose someone like that...it leaves a hole in your heart. You are so right about this song: it's all about friendship, loyalty, and, most especially, love. Paul Simon wrote this song, and Art Garfunkel (the taller of the two) sang it, with Simon adding his voice in part of the 3rd verse. This is the original version, and, to my mind, has never been, and never *will* be, equaled...Art Garfunkel's voice is just perfect for the lyrics. Great reaction...and, I admire your courage in allowing yourself to show your emotions in the video!
I think music has a way to reach our emotions no matter how we might think we are somehow in charge of them. In the story 'The Little Prince' by Antoine de Saint-Exupery the title character says: "It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye.” I enjoyed your reaction very much. Simon and Garfunkel's Bridge Over Troubled Water is an incredible piece of work.
Recently widowed. I can't help but subscribe. ❤️. Joy, my wife passed from Covid-19 Feb 27:at 1206 am, this year. This song gets me every time. Nice to see a real reaction. Love you for it.
Thank you for sharing your heart so vulnerably. You’re so right. That kind of person is so hard to find and must be cherished. Too often, that realization comes after they’re gone. Bless you.
I got this album when I was 12 years old and it changed my musical life. I've heard dozens of artists cover this song but none can do it stronger than this original. Thanks for reacting to this.
I love your beautiful, heartfelt reaction. Sorry for your loss of your dear friend. You have a beautiful soul. No need to be sorry, I feel your hurt. You made me tear up. This is one of the most beautiful songs of all time! They don't make artists like these two anymore. Have a beautiful night. God bless!
youll probably see people that loved you in heaven, but even if you dont, dont fret, they loved you for a reason, and it was as much a gift to them as it was to you
My deepest condolences on the loss of your dear friend. I too lost my best friend of 30 years last November. I am still gutted by his passing. You are so right. People need to take that little extra time to let these people know how special they are. How precious the time spent with them is. Because the finality of loss is total. You have such a caring face Dearie. Well you have 1000's of new friends. Though we can never replace your late friend. Please remember Nasa, should 'tears fall from your eyes, we will dry them all. We're on your side when times get rough and friends just can't be found.' Bless you young lady, RNB
When we lose someone who's always had our back, we can never replace them. But we can be that person for someone else. Doing so both honors them and continues their story here in the world. Is that enough? I don't know. It's just the best I've been able to manage.
Paul Simon and Art Garfunkle. One of the most successful duos of the late 60s, early 70s. Simon wrote all the lyrics and music. Also renowned for backing track for the film The Graduate. Simon went on to achieve great solo success with albums like Graceland and There goes Rhymin Simon.
Paul Simon is the one with dark hair in the front,he was the writer of most of their songs,this song he especially wrote for Art Garfunkel blond curly hair to sing as a solo...never apologize for expressing your emotions,this song does that,it touches me and I've been hearing it for years,sweet reaction by you.
PAUL SIMON IS THE SHORTER ONE IN FRONT WHO WROTE THIS SONG... ART GARFUNKLE TALLER CURLY HAIRED HIGH VOICE... SANG MOST OF THIS TUNE.. REACHED NUMBER ONE IN THE USA 1970....
Your reaction shows how deep you are and the experiences that you have had plus the example that you shared prove that!!!. I would love to just give you a big hug, young lady. Lord's blessings to you and your family !!!!
What a career two schoolboy classmates made! Both born in 1941, they attended elementary school together and two stats were made. I can’t fault you NASA for ‘’crying like a baby’’. I watched your face as you listened and what a genuine, sincere heartfelt reaction. I have watched many reactions to this song but yours is the best!!! God Bless You😊
I'm glad you could discover this song. Simon and Garfunkel are a treasure. This is one of their greatest songs. Another one that touches me deeply is Morning Has Broken by Cat Stevens. It's absolutely beautiful.
Great first reaction....I'm 55 years old and continue to get the same reaction after 40 years or so of hearing this song. One the few songs written & sung that get me every time. Timeless!
Saw them live in the 80’s.....What a show .... no words will suffice as to just how well these two are together The tall guy is Art Garfunkel. The small dude is Paul Simon They both went onto have careers on their own .... They met in school and sang together for the first time at the age of 15......what a duo They have so many classics but my fav is SOUNDS OF SILENCE. I believe this is the most widely covered song of theirs Fr across the waters Canada 🇨🇦 🐥🐥🐥hugs 2 all
The music that I grew up with. From the first time I heard this was 1970. I was only 9. As I matured the song took more and more meaning. This song inspired me to be kind and help people, to be their bride in times of hardship and sadness. Thank you for this wonderful review of a timeless song of compassion and understanding. ❤ I love your videos.
Oh my god.......I remember in 1972 in kilkee co clare ireland lying in bed at night when l was 9 years old with this playing in the background, the jukebox in the casino was playing and this was on. I remember looking at the ceiling and hoping it would never end. I was in that house where l stayed on holidays many years ago several years ago to remember that moment.
Art Garfunkel is singing he is the tall blonde in the back. Paul Simon wrote it, he’s in front. No artist can touch the original. This is it. It gets no better.
..and Pauls Simon joins in with the harmony parts.
Guess u never heard elvis sing it then.
After hearing Elvis sing it art turned to someone else in the audience and asked”what do we do now?” I guess he liked Elvis’ rendition and it is great as Elvis was a deeply emotional singer. But art and Paul and company really take it home.
@@terrymeddings5563 Elvis does a great job , puts his own spin on it , but nothing better then the original
@@terrymeddings5563 Art untouchable
If this song doesn't touch your heart, you have none...

It's been 55 years, not 75 !
Yes ...it’s a masterpiece.
This is the original, written by Paul Simon, who is standing in front. Garfunkel is the main singer, but they harmonise together on the third verse.
Thank you...🙏🙏
I really appreciate💞

DONT CRY WE ARE HERE LOVE YOU WOMAN DONT CRY YOU KNOW LOVE YOU❤
tHIS SONG WAS MADE FOR GARFUNKEL VOICE ,,,,WOW
It may be the most perfect song ever written. I've listened to it a thousand times (at least) and performed it live for many decades. Bridge Over Troubled Water always takes me where I wanna be.
That moment when a great song and a great performance collide with an empathetic heart.
This song always gives me goosebumps, but watching you... I am covered with goosebumps! Thank you so much for your beautiful open heart. Thank you for your reaction.

Yeah gotta agree on that. Simon is a poetic genius. His lyrics just flow together.
Not to get preachy here, but I always thought that if Jesus were to sing a song, He would sing this one. Everything in this song He would do, and indeed He HAS done, for you and I. Beautiful reaction, my dear.
Happy Easter!
Amen
"The Boxer", "America", Homeward Bound", "Scarborough Faire" are greats!
Cecilia, Kodachrome, which is just Paul, I believe?.. Taking a deep dive in Paul Simon’s catalog is a must..

And not just us still listening to it and discussing it but also many other musicians have covered the song
I cry every time I hear it and I've heard it a lot lol

That was a great concert!
@@victoria2050nin It was. I wasn’t there, but I have seen it on video. Half a million people, hard to get my mind around that.
You make me cry 😭 nice reaction 😥 you are a beautiful person and a beautiful woman too, thx
Awww..😘😘
Thanks FAM!💞💞💞
Paul Simon has dark hair and is short. Art garfunkel is the lead singer and is tall.
An appropriate reaction. Paul Simon is one of America's greatest songwriters.
You just listen to probably one of the most beautiful songs ever written.....😊

Thanks for watching🙏😘
As important as Arts voice is the piano playing by Larry Knetchel, and the drumming by Hal Blain.
And Joe Osborn on bass.
I heard the drums were recorded in the bottom of a elevator shaft .
I think music has a way to reach our emotions no matter how we might think we are somehow in charge of them. In the story 'The Little Prince' by Antoine de Saint-Exupery the title character says: "It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye.” I enjoyed your reaction very much.

Does this song not touch many people as we see with this young women ❤
Do not ever be sorry to let go your feelings sometimes. Friends will always be with you in time of need...always

Thank you for sharing your heart so vulnerably. You’re so right. That kind of person is so hard to find and must be cherished. Too often, that realization comes after they’re gone. Bless you.
Is it just me or is this song like ine big comforting hug? Warm fuzzies abound
This is the original…..written by Paul Simon. In my mind no one else sings it better.
The ultimate song about Friendship!
I like your comments on the song. It begins as a humble blues and gospel tune. But ends as a ray of hope.
I got this album when I was 12 years old and it changed my musical life. I've heard dozens of artists cover this song but none can do it stronger than this original. Thanks for reacting to this.

All of their music is awesome and very meaningful.
You should hear Art Garfunkel singing Bright eyes. You are already in love with his voice and it's (also) sublime in Bright eyes.
Your reaction was priceless .. It seems that you like so many of us have had a rough time some were along the way.
My heart hurts for your loss, I'm so sorry. May the good memories bring you comfort as you grieve. 💜
I love your reaction to this song love your tears so honest never be ashamed to show your emotions GOD BLESS YOU NEVER BE SORRY

Love your insights on this song, man! Much peace and respect goes out to you.
I am so sorry for the loss of your friend. I feel your pain. Please don't apologise for grieving.
This has been my favorite song for decades. I want it played at my funeral. I’ve always been a good friend, if nothing else.
It doesn’t get any better than that ,A Bridge over Trouble Water .

I think this song has something that everyone can relate to, a friend, a memory, a parent. A beautiful song.
Beautiful reaction thats what this music is about

This song brings out the person with the real heart
Paul Simon has the black hair and Art Garfunkel has the light brown curly hair. The two them usually song duets. Paul Simon writes the lyrics.
Love your reaction!
To me that is their greatest song. It still grabs my heart after all these years.
This is one of the 5 greatest songs ever written A masterpiece!!
Lovely reaction. Everyone understands the emotions. God bless you.
The Concert in The Park live version is even more beautiful.
Wow!!
I will check it out..
Thank you🙏💞
I was there!!!!
This is one of the reaction videos I've searched up for Simon and Garfunkel - Bridge over troubled water. I love their music.

Saw them live in the 80’s.....What a show .... no words will suffice as to just how well these two are together
The tall guy is Art Garfunkel. The small dude is Paul Simon
They both went onto have careers on their own ....
They met in school and sang together for the first time at the age of 15......what a duo
They have so many classics but my fav is SOUNDS OF SILENCE. I believe this is the most widely covered song of theirs

I remember looking at the ceiling and hoping it would never end.
I was in that house where l stayed on holidays many years ago several years ago to remember that moment.
Omg. I feel your pain. I am with you
This song conveys the person everyone is looking for, and should inspire to be themselves.
