[Josef Svejk]

As good as Simon and Garfunkel are, the Everly Brothers deserve massive respect for their influence:

And, just because I'm sentimental about the '80s, I'll stick this Simon and Garfunkel cover in here:

I used to love this version, in my punky youth:

brilliant.

Yep, daughter was born with one of their albums on in the back ground..

 

Cecilia is ace, always brings a smile, a bitch of a woman..

 

It`s generally accepted that the Cecilia referred to in this song is actually Saint Cecilia, the patron saint of musicians and that Paul Simon wrote it after recovering from a period of writers block, hence the "Jubilation, she loves me again".

 

Another theory however is that its about a dog.

Brilliant song all the same.

After Simon & Garfunkel split Garfunkel recorded a couple of solo albums one is called Fate for Breakfast its a good listen if you can still get it.

Bumped to just say having watched the live in New York concert today, Paul Simon was quite fit back in his younger day. (yeah, i know he was about 40 for that,you younger ones can shut it)

I shake my confidence daily if that sheds any light on the subject.

Always said that this was one of the greatest songs ever written and the "celestial harmonies" at 1:17 always give me the goosebumps.

I know a girl who thought that Simon Garfunkel was a solo singer, she's now a police officer.

 

On the strength of that ??

My favourite S&G track over the last fews years.

 

It says Paul Simon,who wrote it but Art Garfunkel helped produce it so its basically a joint effort.

 

Brilliant song anyhow.
