Bro my dad listened to him when I was a boy and I’m 36. Bruh no every time I’m on the road I listen to him. No I know why Dad listened to him!!! Good vibes well written and joyful. PS is a weapon!
In a few days 21st March I will be 89 if spared. Many years ago as a soldier "up country" Yemen on a crappy transistor I heard The sound of silence. A student of classic literature and poetry I knew this guy was something special. Paul is the greatest and I discharged myself from hospital in order to be at Manchester arena to see his Homeward bound show. Paul Simon is a one off and the lady who says his songs and music bring tears to her eyes is not alone, an 89 year old veteran, tough as boot leather tries to pretend he's unmoved, without much success. We will not live forever Paul, but your words will live in people's hearts whilst ever there is music and poetry.
OMG, This song and album Graceland saved me when I was a broke single mom with a special needs infant trying to go to nursing school. I succeeded, but this album gave me strength in very tough times. "I have reason to believe"
This was my dad who died three month after ne finding out he was my dad age 16 age 38 now lost my life through drug addiction but this CD came time of darkness this is my dad drim heaven letting me kitten to ges music once more every song I can relate to RIP Kevin McCann wigan xx
I am 72 years old, I never listen to his music I forgot my ages. 1967 probably I listened Sound of Silence and 69, Boxer and 2010’s still playing African music!
I was 12 years old when Paul Simon took me to Graceland. I had just lost my dad through divorce. I didn't want to know he was talking about me, but "Losing love is like a window in your heart. Everyone sees you're blown apart. Everyone sees the wind blow." I listened to this album over and over. I still do. He took my ghosts and empty sockets and gave me Diamonds on the souls of my shoes.
I was fortunate to have attended the Graceland concert in Ellis Park Johannesburg in the late 80s with Miriam Makeba and Ladysmith Black Mambazo. We knew then apartheid would not last a lot longer. It was the most amazing concert ever - it feels like the other day ❤
But in those years we had HOPE for a better future but sadly enough , with the ANC it only has become worse and there is NO light at the end of this tunnel
He makes me sob when when hear this song. Heard him for the first time when I was 19 in college and am 72 now. What a treasure Paul Simon is to our world.
@@whippetfun Classic mansplaining there, RobertL, and you are way off base. She didn't say SHE HEARD THIS SONG WHEN SHE WAS 19. She said she heard HIM (Simon) for the first time at 19. That would make the years about right, if she's 72 now. You're pretty damn rude for no reason.
I'm 20 years old and have just discovered Paul Simon by randomly picking his vinyl up today at the store and listening to it. I haven't stopped listening yet. What a treasure to have found him.
I was introduced to Paul Simon,s Graceland in the wet season of 1989 by a friend at Aba in South East of Nigeria.Since then I have remained a fan of this great Artist.God bless him.
A very happy 81st birthday Paul Frederic Simon October 13, 1941, Newark, New Jersey Many may say you are a modern folk music icon. But I say you are a musical icon. Music that is timeless..
What a fantastic opening line - The Mississippi delta was shining like a national guitar...one of the greatest of anytime. Of all time. We all will be received in Graceland.
Clean music clear off drugs and Alcohol..what a class to be proud of..what a lyrical treat . Hats off to God. He is high above dirt and confusion. Thank you God for giving Paul Simon ❤️
i remember this song since 1970, I was visiting my father back in San Francisco California! God Bless This nation, thank God for life, this is 2022 and i am living in USA CT . i pray for this nation and the State where my twins sons were born, and thanks God for them
My late mother born in South Africa & my late brother where Paul Simon fans. I remember in our teenage years me and my brother would just chill & listen to Paul Simon albums. 👍...my brother used to adore Paul Simon & all his Simon & Garfunkel LPs & CD's. In fact, he learned his own chords on his acoustic guitar while carefully listening to every lyric and chord that Paul played. "We're All Destined To Bouncing Into The Graceland ". A.A...Amen. ( tuned in from Liverpool, England UK 🇬🇧❤🇯🇪❤🫡
"Losing love is like a window in your heart, everybody sees you'e blown apart, everybody feels the wind blow..." one of the great lines ever. Lucked out in a mini-lottery and scored fifth-row center seats for this concert. Best performance of my life.
When they've made enough money out of these shows I only hope (in my lifetime😄)an Official 4K Blu ray is released for all us unfortunates who cant be there to see this in all its glory🕺🎶🎵🥁💎💎🔥🇮🇪
My father just passed at 80 yrs old....this is the music i grew up listening in the house....I've been playing this album to remind me of a great man who lived to die old....I am so lucky to have had him in my life for so long,a luxury so many of my friends never had...Rest In Peace Dad ❤
He touches the magic of the human spirit. Ok. That sounds lame. But he is the kind of artist that touches my spirit, and he makes me believe I could make magic, because he stirs the magic in me.
I agree, the writing and musical craftsmanship are just something else. "They say losing love is like a window to the heart / everybody sees you're blown apart / everybody sees the wind blow" has to be one of the best pop lyrics ever written
Immortal song, immortal lyrics and this perfect blend Paul Simon has with him, on the record and on stage......I`ll listen and enjoy this song until I don`t enjoy anything no more.
Das ist ein Stück Musikgeschichte. Afrikanische Klänge gepaart mit Pauls Stimme, es macht einfach Spaß zuzuhören. Einer der Größten Musiker die dieser Planet je gesehen hat. Ich verbeuge mich Paul 😊
The most extraordinary concert in rock music history. I suppose it was the highest number of audience in the Park. And also very clean and high quality record.
What a song. The Mississippi Delta shining like a national guitar. I've reason to believe we"l all be received at Graceland. This man is a poet as well as everything else.
The Graceland album got me through a really bad time in my life. I'll never forget it for that reason. You're something else Paul. Greetings from Ireland.
Thanks to Paul for demostrating to the whole world that South Africa has a talent. The whole graceland album was done with our boys and girls of Mzantsi. Pity most of them were never featured in the music videos
South Africa is the heart of music, in a continent which is the soul of music. I've never crossed an ocean, but I feel myself a part of South Africa every minute of every day. Perhaps from the day I shook Mahlathini's hand, or perhaps from always.
Yes it is a pity, but what else do you expect? This entire project was, as ever, a vehicle for Paul Simon's self-indulgence. He cared as much about those performers as he did about the victims of apartheid on whom he turned his back when he went against the pleas of anti-apartheid organisations and individuals worldwide not to break the sanctions then imposed on South Africa, but what did that matter, compared to his prestige?
Listen to that crowd! Much love. No one is sitting in that audience, and they're screaming when they hear the opening of every loved tune... and it's NYC and the sun is going down...and the other musicians are as exquisite in their own ways as genius paul is. I miss this, pandemic cause.
Who's listening 2024. Great performance
I do
LOTS of us! ;)
Always start my cleaning days with obvious child and this one - magnificent!
Its in all of my cars!
we are here

Sorry bout the spelling that was Icrap
You need to listen to Kathy’s Song. He has to be one of the greatest singer-songwriters of all time.
Paul Simon. Music for your soul. Bless..Graceland...Africa.. April 14 2024.From Puerto Rico.
I was there after Desert Storm, I sat next to 2 French people. I shared my blanket. Thank you for a legendary time!
Do you still have that's blanket today Oct 2024 ?
In a few days 21st March I will be 89 if spared. Many years ago as a soldier "up country" Yemen on a crappy transistor I heard The sound of silence.

Just Envisioned Elvis Walking On Stage .......And Bowing Down To The Great Man...Paul Simon.
I think Paul would also bow down to the King. Elvis is vastly underestimated.

He is such a wonderful and talented singer, love listening to his songs, the best ever
Hello Sharon , how are you doing, hope you good?

Where has all the talent gone. All old school now
The great Paul Simon
No one makes music like this anymore. I am blessed to have lived through the great music renaissance of the 60s and 70s.
We were blessed to be born on this era.
Absolutely......born late 58!
Me too :)
Amen!
Born 48 still feels the same
After Sounds Of Silence Paul Simon was ahead of the curve
for the rest of his career. Stand back and admire the Mozart
of popular music.
i remember this song since 1970, I was visiting my father back in San Francisco California! God Bless This nation, thank God for life, this is 2022 and i am living in USA CT . i pray for this nation and the State where my twins sons were born, and thanks God for them

Auch ohne Art Karfunkel ein Genuß Paul Simon zu hören ein benadeter Musiker einfach Klasse.❤😊
Graceland must be the best album ever produced
Pink Floyd's "The Paul" is pretty good. "The Wall" too or paulso.
Graceland is one of the albums I wish I could hear again for the first time.
I totally agree!!!
# TooMuchScotty ppm
there only 2 albums I later bought the CD als well " Graceland" and "The dark side of the moon"
There's not enough room to list all the hits this man has written and performed. Bless him for the music!❤😂
The man is a songwriting God.. not the best voice ever but his lyrics, rythms and harmonies are genius. One of the all time musical superheros.
I'm am 💯 your man ok answer me back now
Absolutely musical Genius
He touches the magic of the human spirit. Ok. That sounds lame. But he is the kind of artist that touches my spirit, and he makes me believe I could make magic, because he stirs the magic in me.
I agree. And thank you for not saying this album, or the renowned Paul Simon are 'underrated'. As one sees so often on TH-cam.
I agree, the writing and musical craftsmanship are just something else. "They say losing love is like a window to the heart / everybody sees you're blown apart / everybody sees the wind blow" has to be one of the best pop lyrics ever written
For dad, always 14.7.2015 💔 I hope you can hear this like you did the day you left 😘🙏
2021, who's listening to the grace land....
The words are so special
Immortal song, immortal lyrics and this perfect blend Paul Simon has with him, on the record and on stage......I`ll listen and enjoy this song until I don`t enjoy anything no more.

The whole album and concert is outstanding!,,,,

Oh the memories ! It hurts knowing it's all behind us , and look what's up ahead ,
Great music❤
Yes Grabeland, unforgettable🥰🥰🥰🥰
I raised my kids listening to music of the 70's and 80's. Folk, rock and roll, country. My kids sing along to many of the great songs of the past.
I could watch those three backup singers dancing to this song all night long
Do it...double dog dare ya! You can't turn down double dog dares...every coming of age movie proves it!😉
This is what the world needs now....not the hatred that's going on.
Made America Great again 👍
The most extraordinary concert in rock music history. I suppose it was the highest number of audience in the Park. And also very clean and high quality record.
The energy, the joy, the humanity ......... like nothing I have ever seen.
I can hear the Late Ray Phiri's influence in this track. Wow, genius, was the man.
this music is going to save my soul and heart for the next 4 years
An all African backup simply out of this world ... way too good..
Ich liebe es ich Danke Paul Simon für diese wunderbare Musik ❤❤
What a song. The Mississippi Delta shining like a national guitar. I've reason to believe we"l all be received at Graceland. This man is a poet as well as everything else.

We have lost a great tree, Rest in Peace Mr Ray Phiri. He was a Guitar Guru in South Africa
Oh so true! Talent at its best. African talent. Playing Graceland since Saturday and my son of 11 loves the beat of the song.
My dad played this for me when I was 13 years old. I was his" child from his first marriage " even though I wasn't.
