Still listening. You handled that great. You have such a special thing going on here, you don't need haters. First time they say something . . . Block. Good Job.
I just love music with you two, you two put a BIG SMILE ON MY FACE, I just want to say, Thank You Both .... God Bless ... Keep music playing .... KIDs .....
Namaste. I appreciate your sincerity. You shouldn’t have to explain yourselves, but I understand why you do. I always appreciate your reactions and fresh perspectives.
Struggling for attention in his native America both as a solo singer and in groups, including a partnership with Art Garfunkel then called Tom & Jerry, Paul Simon moved to England and travelled the country as a jobbing folk singer before he got his break. Many of his songs were written or started there, which is evident from some of the early hits of Simon & Garfunkel. Homeward Bound, for example, was written while he was returning from a gig in the north of England to the love of his life in the south, Kathy, about whom he also wrote several songs. Another song, America, speaks of his and Kathy's imaginary ride on a Greyhound bus. As Simon became more famous, Kathy, who he met while she was selling tickets to one of his gigs, became more discomfited and the couple split up. She remained in the UK, where she resides to this day (actually in Wales) while he returned to America to embark upon the stellar career he has enjoyed. A few years ago, a British tabloid traced Kathy, who still shuns attention but revealed that she, her husband of several years and Paul Simon are on good terms.
Paul Simon took the main part of the melody from "St. Matthew Passion" by J.S. Bach, who in turn lifted it from "Mein G'müt ist mir verwirret" by Hans Leo Hassler. To me, this song is about alienation. The lyric about him being "so far away from home" is metaphorical. It's not that he's physically not at home, it's that he doesn't recognize his own country as home any more. One of the most telling lines in the song is, "I wonder what went wrong."
I haven't listened to your video yet but for the second time you're explaining about being from India and how you might not understand American culture. I think you do. I love Indian Culture. I love you guys, are you getting picked on by people? I'll beat them up for you. OK violence is dead but I can say mean things about them in my head. My point is you guys rock. I love you, you're doing great. Everyone give them and I LOVE YOU.
I listen to your cast quite often you comment and react exactly to what YOU think about the songs the lyrics, the music Some songs may have a spercific meaning or message Maybe some times we can miss the meanings others may get a totally different emotion & feeling from the music but isn't That why we are all here Here sharing musical experiences and expressing what we FEEL about the songs and our interpretation of them Music is an International language it unites all people and your reaction videos are always happy and Uplifting I enjoy every minute of them We can explain to one another what the meaning of the songs are and exchange our views Much LOVE, PEACE & BLESSINGS From AUSTRALIA A TRULY MULTI CULTURAL COUNTRY PEACE OUT MUSIC LOVERS OF THE WORLD
Great reaction to this good song from the 70s reflective abt the course 🎶 Enoma, it sounds like you're getting terrible abuse from trollers😱 The internet is filled with them 😈 . Anyways, appreciate your reactions, the trollers don't get the point, it's your view- different or not, that brings viewers here✨
1. Sirte has a beautiful smile. Not exactly my analysis, but very thoughtful and broadens my perspective. I do think it's more of a humanism song in American context than an American song. Well done!
He was talking about soldiers fighting in Vietnam and how horrible that war was. The Statue of Liberty is floating off to sea because America was doing the wrong thing. it is a sad song.
Please look up the cover of this by Josh Turner Guitar. He incorporates the Bach Chorale that it is based on into his cover and it is really beautiful!
Just giving a wave from Colorado, making sure you are both doing OK. I've loved this song since as long as I can remember. Savio, you'll have to pardon me when I say that Kirti is smoking hot. You're a lucky man. All the best to both of you and your families.
JEEEZE 🤔Just pause & consider...can you imagine this being played at a Trump Rally.....it would be enough to turn the "Orange One"...a Whiter Shade Of Pale.. again.😡 🫣🤣
As a retire Licensed Clinical Social Worker as well as lover of music I appreciate your reviews and reactions.
Such a beautiful poetic and moving song from the famous song writing collective Hassler, Gerhardt, Bach und Simon 😉
Still listening. You handled that great. You have such a special thing going on here, you don't need haters. First time they say something . . . Block. Good Job.

This is the song that my husband and I fell in love to, it's our song thank you for reviewing it!
Great song. Paul Simon has written dozens of classics, this is my favorite of his solo career. Very thought-provoking lyrics.
Love your reactions. Well thought and intelligent...

I enjoy your videos, keep it up!
Wow some phrases are me in some stand, deep thoughts when we leave our born land, friends, scenes, and much to have more opportunities.
Yeah I hear it as from an American "what went wrong?". . .we started off great but what went wrong? I didn't hear anything about 'outsiders'.
Remember, variety is the spice of life.

He was talking about soldiers fighting in Vietnam and how horrible that war was. The Statue of Liberty is floating off to sea because America was doing the wrong thing. it is a sad song.
There' s two people hosting these reactions--how about we hear from both of you..!?
perhaps you are starting to see that most Paul Simon songs are very special
Please look up the cover of this by Josh Turner Guitar. He incorporates the Bach Chorale that it is based on into his cover and it is really beautiful!
Bach actually borrowed this theme from Gerhardt, who in turn borrowed it from Hassler in a slightly modified version 😉
Just giving a wave from Colorado, making sure you are both doing OK. I've loved this song since as long as I can remember.

Here's a song about America. Ray Charles - America The Beautiful
It's a sad song about the American dream. But it's alright.
