On his blog, he has a year by year list of every book he has read since 1968. How cool is that? I have loved his sweet, pure voice for 45+ years. Has there ever been a pop vocal to match the intensity & soaring heights of Bridge Over Troubled Waters? Art Garfunkel's recording of one of my top 5 all time favorite songs- The Waters Of March in 1975, led me on a lifelong obsession with this Antonio Carlos Jobim song, & I now collect different covers of it (I have over 20). His version was the 1st & still my favorite. I always have been moved by his rendition of this Jimmy Webb song:
I bruise you, you bruise me
We both bruise too easily, too easily to let it show
I love you & that's all I know .
All my plans have fallen through,
All my plans depend on you, depend on you to help them grow,
I love you & that's all I know.
When the singer's gone let the song go on...
But the ending always comes at last,
Endings always come too fast,
They come too fast but they past too slow,
I love you & that's all I know .
When the singer's gone let the song go on,
It's a fine line between the darkness & the dawn.
They say in the darkest night there's a light beyond
But the ending always comes at last,
Endings always come too fast
They come too fast
But they past too slow,
I love you, & that's all I know.
That's all I know, that's all I know.
*gasp* Me too! I love the whole album that contains this song, actually (Breakaway). I had never heard Waters of March before Garfunkel's release. Thanks for this clip, too, of another song that I really like.
