Jay/Amber, you'll love his "Loves Me Like A Rock", "Kodachrome" and "Late In The Evening" and many more!!! edit- Paul won the Grammy for Album of the Year 1975 for this album. In his acceptance speech he thanked Stevie Wonder for not releasing an album that year!! Stevie had won for the prior two years.Legendary Steve Gadd on drums.
Paul Simon has so many great songs. I love "Me & Julio Down by the Schoolyard", "Diamonds on the Soles of Her Shoes" "Kodachrome", "Loves Me Like a Rock" and many more!
Some years back, there was a viral story of a flight attendant on -- I think it was a Southwest flight -- who was doing the pre-flight safety briefing. She came up with a creative way to get people to actually listen to what she was saying (since most people tune out during that part). She said, "Well, according to Paul Simon -- there may be 50 ways to leave your lover. But I guarantee you, there are only 7 ways to get off this plane, so I'd listen up if I were you." :D
I just loved this song …. especially all the rhyming! “Hop on the bus Gus!” So great! I had to learn all the words to make it sound coordinated! I sing it still!
@@willdwyer6782 Steely Dan had some of the best studio drummers in the biz. Gadd, Bernard "Pretty" Purdie, Jeff Porcaro, Rick Marotta-the list is endless. Steely Dan also swapped out some incredible bassists and guitarists during their run. So many great songs by them.
Steve Gadd's recollections on how he came up with the drum groove in this song: STEVE GADD: I was practicing between takes. That’s how that started. When I was a kid, I played in drum and bugle corps, and I used to write drum parts. That’s sort of where the inspiration came, subconsciously. So, I was creating different combinations between the hi-hat, snare and bass drum. I was playing the hi-hat with my left hand. Paul and Phil Ramone (producer for the session) heard me, and suggested that I do something like that with the intro. It was really a group effort, a situation where everybody contributed. When you do a session like that, you do whatever makes it work for the artist, and you hope it will be a hit - but you never know. I just try to give the best I can.
I had forgotten that Steve played on this LP. Along with Michael Brecker, David Sanborn, Hugh McCracken, and vocals from Patti Austin, Valerie Simpson, and Phoebe Snow. Tour de Force!!
Paul is a brilliant songwriter. And he has quite a few fun, happy little tunes like this, but DON'T cheat yourselves. Must hear The Obvious Child, Boy in the Bubble, Graceland, etc... He's a pretty heavy, deep cat. 💝
@@elizabethfranco1284 Wow! I haven't seen it. You'd think they do more of that style music of Paul's. Music with difficulty and content is so much more enjoyable. And artists like Paul are so rare.
I love seeing the younger crowd enjoying the music I grew up with ... it bring back all the emotions I had at the time to see them discovering these songs - - Thanks, guys!!
Great reaction! The drummer on this song is Steve Gadd and he’s a monster in the studio musicians world. He recorded the drums for the song Aja (Asia) in two takes. It’s almost 7 minutes long and the first half of the song there’s not much happening on the drums but then he starts using his ride and doing these patented single bass triplets that’s insane! Steely Dan uses a lot of world class musicians, Michael MacDonald, Jeff Porcaro, Bernard Purdie, so many others, but they let them do their thing and lay down their tracks so you get the best they have on every track! Once you study Steely Dan you’ll start hearing these musicians in a lot of other songs because you’ll know no one else has a snare that sounds like Steve Gadd’s, or no one else picks a bass like Chuck Rainey, everyone has a style, a sound, and Steely Dan used people who were recorded on thousands of songs!
Paul Simon is an absolutely amazing songwriter. I love all his music & the drum solo in this song. Need to try Me & Julio down by the Schoolyard, Kodachrome, Slip sliding away, Loves me like a rock…
Amazing, iconic song, and a multi-generationally relatable hit. Paul Simon (and Simon & Garfunkel) played and recorded a whole lotta music 60s forward...PS had "Me And Julio Down By the Schoolyard" "Mother And Child Reunion" "Kodachrome" "Slip Slidin' Away" "Late In the Evening" "Loves Me Like a Rock" "You Can Call Me Al" "Diamonds On the Soles Of Her Shoes" (more)...and Art G. recorded a great cover of "I Only Have Eyes For You" in the 80s.
That is the legendary drummer Steve Gadd on the drums in this song. He has played regularly with Paul Simon since 1975, frequently touring with him. I've seen Paul Simon live four times over the years, in one case with Art Garfunkel. Steve Gadd was on drums on two of the occasions when I saw Simon as a solo artist. I've also seen Steve Gadd at least four times playing with James Taylor. One of the most in demand session and touring drummers ever.
I always interpreted this song as the woman giving the narrator hints that SHE was going to leave HIM. That’s why she says “I’d like to help you with your struggle to be free” and “I believe in the morning, you’ll begin to see the light.”
I always interpreted it to be advice from a female friend who wants to be something more. Think she will help him find a few "ways" when they "both sleep om it tonight".
This song was ALL OVER the radios back in the day. To the point that it was worn out. Glad to get a fresh perspective on such a popular song and artist. ✌
The legendary Steve Gadd on drums, ladies and gentlemen. Dude apparently invented this beat on the spot, in the studio. Rest of us drummers have been trying to replicate it for the last … gulp … fifty years!
Writers for Saturday Night Live considered Paul one of their favorite guests on the program because of his sense of humor he really understood the show.
Best moment ever had to have been his second time hosting for the Thanksgiving show in 1976. He comes out at the start of the show and sings 'Still Crazy After All These Years'.. in a turkey suit!
This was a hit in the fall of 1975. I was a freshman in high school and I remember my literature teacher played it in class as an excellent example of lyrical writing.
There are so many great Paul Simon songs. "Me and Julio Down by the Schoolyard", "Diamonds on the Souls of Her Shoes", "Kathy's Song", "Late in the Evening", "Poem on the Underground Wall", and so many more.
I was a around 10 when this song came out but I remember loving it because of the refrain. I would always say "Slip out the back Jack", "Hop on the bus Gus", "Make a new plan Stan", "Drop off the key Lee". I had no idea what the song was really about but all those rhymes... kids love rhymes like those. They're fun to say and I would use them all of the time. Probably drove my parents and teachers crazy.
Same here! Everyone was singing this tune when I was 10 too. Always thought it was funny that we only got 4 ways to leave your lover. What happened to the other 46!!!? 🤣😂🤣
For more great Paul Simon songs try 'Kodachrome', 'Loves Me Like a Rock, 'Mother and Child Reunion', 'Me and Julio Down by the Schoolyard', 'Slip Sliding Away', on & on....
Always loved this song. Such a happy upbeat tempo even though dealing with a bad relationship. Paul Simon just a master. Everything in this song is perfect, makes you hang in for the last note. Great reaction. Buckets of Maple Syrup love from Canada ❤️❤️ 🇨🇦 🇨🇦
I grew up on Paul Simon (and Art Garfunkel), so I'm so happy you've diving into his solo stuff. I hope you'll get around to "Kodachrome", "Boy in the Bubble", "The Obvious Child" (that one will blow your mind), and "Me and Julio Down By the Schoolyard."
If you liked this, how about listening to: Diamonds on The Soles of Her Shoes. Paul Simon partnered with Ladysmith Black Monbazzo, a South African Acapella group, on the whole album Graceland!
That's the great Steve Gadd on drums. My favorite song of Steve Gadd drumming is on Aja by Steely Dan. Incredible drumming on that one. Also, great sax on Aja.
Keep trying! Many have suggested it but no success yet. Guess they dont read mere Subscribers. Hope that, if they ever do classical gas, they will use the 3000 years of Art video.
Others have probably already suggested these but I recommend “Me and Julio down by the schoolyard” or “That was your mother” as your next Paul Simon song. Or better yet his duet with Linda Ronstadt, “Under African Skies” Keep up up the great reactions! I love your channels.
Sweetness and light. That was once the ideal. We need to bring back some sweetness and lots of light. Y'all bring it. Every time. Another great song and show!
He is amazing. Not only a great voice but an incredible songwriter. You should do The Sound Of Silence singing along with Garfunkel next. He was a big influence on Al Stewart who wrote The Year Of The Cat.
Paul Simon is not only a great songwriter, singer, guitarist, bassist...etc...he really really appreciates good music and great musicians. I agree with other posters on "Me & Julio" and anything from Graceland.
The first year of SNL, Simon was on the Thanksgiving episode. He came out in a full and colorful turkey costume to sing Still Crazy After all These Years. I bet there’s a TH-cam of it…
Being a drummer I all ways loves this drum cadence. Paul Simon is just a genius. You guys be loving' some Paul. Might as well so the Graceland album, you've done some so far. Thanks again for this memory.
Paul Simon was known as "Rhyming Simon" He has a large catalog of hits. BTW, on the 3rd DVD of the Dick Cavet show you have is a very young Paul Simon performance
Once again very good commentary from you guys. I gotta say Amber really brings it to almost every song you guys react to. She really brings so much clarity and insight. Amazing doing this off the cuff and extemporaneously. What a mind she has! Thanks again

Every wfinter in West Tennessee, wen we would get ice and snow, the radio would always play that song.🙄
Paul Simon is such a storyteller. His songs and his vocals pull you in and you feel like you are part of the tale he’s telling.
I just loved this song …. especially all the rhyming! “Hop on the bus Gus!” So great! I had to learn all the words to make it sound coordinated! I sing it still!
My youngest daughter learned the chorus and sang it with me when she was 5 lol.
Absolutely right!
He's a genuine "wordsmith"!!!
You gotta react to his song, "Me and Julio Down By The Schoolyard"!!
Gotta do Still Crazy After All These Years!!
Rare to hear songs with a phenomenal drumline like this, this is such a unique classic. Paul Simon is a masterful artist. A genuine legend ❤️
The only Steve Gadd...

This song has the absolute best chord progression in my opinion. The beginning of the song is absolutely iconic.
Play twice for each verse:
Em/G D6 C7 B7

Add in Tony Levin, recipe for greatness.
Great story!
The pipe and drum basis for the rhythm was both obvious and genius at the same time. ✌️
I had forgotten that Steve played on this LP. Along with Michael Brecker, David Sanborn, Hugh McCracken, and vocals from Patti Austin, Valerie Simpson, and Phoebe Snow. Tour de Force!!
Didn't know that was Steve Gadd.
Love Paul Simon's work because he actually takes the time to write real lyrics! Don't miss out on "Me and Julio". Another one of his fun songs.
That drum part is one of the top 5 drum parts in music history....there are so many Paul Simon songs from the 70s that are legendary...
Steve Gadd. In the conversation for one of the greatest drumer ever.
Paul Simon is a musical national treasure.!
I just found out on this page that he is Married to Edie Brickell and she is touring w/ Steve Martin the Comedian... Wild!
Paul is a brilliant songwriter. And he has quite a few fun, happy little tunes like this, but DON'T cheat yourselves. Must hear The Obvious Child, Boy in the Bubble, Graceland, etc... He's a pretty heavy, deep cat. 💝

Boy in the Bubble is one of music's all time greats.
@@paulleach3612 I agree 100%. And The Obvious Child is right there with it.
Don't forget Punkie's Dilemma from the Bookends album. Often overlooked and underplayed ......
"I wish I was a Kellogg cornflake.......... "
Paul Simon's solo work always has some interesting rhythms. His lyrics speak for themselves. Such a great lyricist!
I love seeing the younger crowd enjoying the music I grew up with ... it bring back all the emotions I had at the time to see them discovering these songs - - Thanks, guys!!
Can't go wrong with Paul Simon. You would really enjoy his "Late in the Evening".
This song came out the same year as Born to run By Bruce Springsteen and Bohemian Rhapsody By Queen 1975 , Love the 70s
Yes, you will really enjoy Late In The Evening!!!!!
Absolutely!!
The thing about Simon's lyrics, much Like Billy Joel's is that they flow and never seem forced. That takes real talent.
"Still Crazy After All These Years" and "I Do It For Your Love" are two others on this album that I really, really like. Paul is so talented!!

“still crazy after all these years”. PLEASE !!

A drummer's drum line. One of the greatest and most appreciated of all time by the one and only Steven Gadd.
Really would appreciate a boost in the volume. Love this clever tune by Paul, another winner. Thanks Amber and Jay
Paul Simon is a National Treasure. One of the greatest song writes of all times.
There is SOOOOOOO much Paul Simon that you have not even touched on. Whether solo or with AG, Paul Simon will take you someplace special.
I was a child in the 1970's when I heard this song.
I loved it then, still do.
Paul Simon is one of the greatest song writers ever and today is his 81st birthday!( Oct 13, 2022) Happy Birthday Paul Simon.
I think that rhythmic drum cadence is subtly giving someone their marching orders especially at the end when it slowly fades like someone walking away

One of the best albums ever!
Paul is such a GOAT. One of the best songwriters of our generation! Next up, Diamonds on the Soles of her Shoes!
That's Steve Gadd on drums. This particular rhythm that he composed for this song is a standard for most Rock and metal drummers to master.
And its fun to play

I enjoy listing to these memories with you guys. These are songs I loved and will always want to listen to.
Great sharing these songs with you.
Check out "Graceland." It's is one of the best albums ever created. There isn't a single bad track on that entire album.
That's the great Steve Gadd on drums. My favorite song of Steve Gadd drumming is on Aja by Steely Dan. Incredible drumming on that one. Also, great sax on Aja.
Wayne Shorter (Weather Report) in the sax on that one... Both amazing...
Awesome drum player!! Try “Classical Gas” by Mason Williams from 1968!!🤘🔥
Keep trying! Many have suggested it but no success yet. Guess they dont read mere Subscribers.
Hope that, if they ever do classical gas, they will use the 3000 years of Art video.
He even had a few appearances on SNL back in the 70s acting instead of singing. He was also in Woody Allen's "Annie Hall", if memory serves.
Others have probably already suggested these but I recommend “Me and Julio down by the schoolyard” or “That was your mother” as your next Paul Simon song. Or better yet his duet with Linda Ronstadt, “Under African Skies” Keep up up the great reactions! I love your channels.
The two of YOU together.... My goodness.... BEAUTIFUL!!!!!
I love both of you.
Great reaction. I’d love to see you react to Me And Julio Down By The Schoolyard by Paul Simon.
Oh such a great song by Paul Simon thanks for playing this I love it
Steve Katz on drums. He played on 'The Hustle' and many more tunes you've heard. In my humble opinion, greatest studio drummer in the modern pop era.
*Steve Gadd
Gadd, actually. But you got everything else right, that's for sure.
The outro solo on "Aja" is unmatched. Steve Gadd is the real deal.
Simon and Garfunkel songs are prominent in the movie ALMOST FAMOUS. Among other great artists.
Don't stay in a toxic relationship, slip out the back Jack. Amber needs to hear "Loves Me Like a Rock" and have tissues. ☮💛🎶
Sweetness and light. That was once the ideal. We need to bring back some sweetness and lots of light.
Y'all bring it. Every time.

Grew up with my Dad listening to Paul Simon. Love this song. You have to try listening to Paul Simon's "Stranded in a Limousine" and "Kodachrome".
