I was helping my mom take care of my sister who had brain cancer she loves Simon and Garfunkel and I love Willie I would play her this video up until the day she died God bless Willie Nelson!
Two of the most talented singer/songwriters of the last 100 years doing a great rendition of a fabulous song written by one of them. Honest, earthy, heartful and well executed. Still 680 people with probably no talent or knowledge of what greatness is turned the thumb down. I shouldn't be surprised but I am truly grieved. No other word for it.
Who would have guessed that these two great musical legends did a song together? I wouldn’t have, but they did, and it’s great! Thanks for sharing it with those of us who love them both, but had no idea how well their musical styles and voices merge together!
I enjoy both Paul and Willie singing. This particular song shows the curious nature of humanity that we grow up and leave our homes to find ourselves and our lives and yet we long to be home.
Paul wrote this song at my local station in England. He had just done a gig at our Folk club. Very emotional song whoever sings it. He was the best performer
Ha ha - I actually missed that one. The song did take me back to different times when it seemed we were more free - and our big worries were something of a different nature.
Paul Simon - a true poet. I love him. My husband and I had our first dance to A Bridge over Troubled Water 53 years ago in December…still going strong ❤❤
Never have I been so touched by a Willie song before. My mom died in 2016 and she truly was Willie’s biggest fan. I heard more Willie music as a child than anyone I bet. I never appreciated it until I lost my beautiful mother and sat and listened to all of his albums she left for me. My mom lived a “hard life” as some may say, but I know she loved me and lord how she loved her Willie!! I wish I could go back in time and listen with her and appreciate and love it the way she did. Love you mom!!
I just stumbled on this by accident. Absolutely INCREDIBLE. Two of my favorite musicians. I've been luck enough to see them both in concert, twice. Now it's obvious that they should have done more together.

It's a privilege almost impossible to properly appreciate. I can recall managing the coffee shop in JC, and proving quarters to play Simon and Garfunkel, and Willie Nelson on the juke box, with pool balls clicking in the background.
Willie is sadly an underrated legend, and Paul Simon is a legend himself. The thing about Willie, he's a legendary songwriter, actor, and can cross with any, and every genre. GOD BLESS WILLIE NELSON!!!!!!!
Both are superstars and kings in their styles of music, there is no comparison between them. Willi is a master of country music his voice mighty beautiful and evergreen ageing has no effects on his voice amazing.
this may have been the first Paul Simon song I learned that I have trouble singing.. because I get a little choked up.. pretty much every time I sing it.. with and without accompaniment... singing my life Mr Nelson.. Mr Simon... as usual.. it's been.. a long time since I bought the music for this one.. thanks y'all... carry on, please 🙏.. loudly if possible
so I watch a video with young Mr Nelson there and Ray Charles.. his face tells me he knows he is walking on holy ground... 😍.. check it out in this one... awesome man Mr Nelson... knows holy ground when he gets there... thanks for sharing this one, bro...you are awesome too
Maybe this is the majesty of Simon & Garfunkel. Their lyrics and songs are open to so many individual interpretations yet the message remains the same.
Who's playing this in 2021? Memories of those far-off day? Memories tinged with sadness ? Reminiscences and Memories crowded your mind? Long lost friend? or heyday of your life? I want hear your stories.

This version of Homeward Bound on the Willie & Friends Live & Kickin CD was probably the most inspirational song that I listened to when I was in Iraq & kept me focused on my game plan (just 2 return 2 my family alive & in one piece). Thank You 2 both for creating such beautiful music that not only touch our lives, but soothes our souls in ways we could've never dreamt they could. I love u Willie Nelson. You are an simply an American Treasure!
Paul Simon and Willie Nelson...couldn't get better. Two icons of harmonious music.. those guitars, the voices, the team.. Willie, my fave Country singer...Paul, whose beautiful music speaks for itself...A1 rendition. Sept. 2016...
@@paul121456 Sorry guy, you just dated yourself. Try 60s to present. The base of the song dates back to the civil war. Homeward bound, the soldiers returning home from the civil war on the trains. Hence HOBO.
So good to see so many young people in the audience. I feel sorry for those who are only interested in the music of their time when there is so much great music throughout all ages. A true music lover just loves good music regardless of genre or decade/century. The evolution of music is what has gone before. What a fantastic world we live in especially with Paul & Willie just to name 2.
Two great performers on stage together. Different genre different ages yet the song and the personalities seem to fit like a pair of fine gloves. Those were the times my friend.
Willie is unparalleled in his ability to weave in and out of the time (tempo). It takes someone of equal skill to even play next to the man. Mad skills....mad respect.
Such different phrasing between each of these masters and they seamlessly offered us this gorgeous piece of music with Willie's soulful, skillful guitar work and vocals. I love Paul. No doubt. The two of them working this piece together is very beautiful.
Two of the Greatest musicians/ Songwriter of the 19 century! On stage together recorded for posterity! Made available to us by the tech of the 20 Century! Dam We are Blessed to be alive and able to Enjoy there Talent Via Utube 👍 Thank You Utube 👍:)
Sends shivers down my arms. It's so interesting to see and hear two outstanding singer song writers performing from such different genres but musicians all have music running through their veins and are so dedicated to their craft. This is like magic.
Paul Simon, such a genius. His acoustic guitar playing and song writing is so damn good! The first few chords and the crowd goes crazy. Great number to do with Willie Nelson.
I was 15’ from Paul & his Son when they toured C.F. Martin & Co. I stood there grinning like crazy sanding a guitar top & Paul blushed & looked down. I wish I could have played ONE song with him.
Don't love country music but Willie and Paul do a fantastic job on this song together. Even though I do not like country music that much I do love the way Willie Nelson sings and his songs.
If you give a thumbs down, you should not have gone to this website or you are too young to get it. These are two icons from a generation that appreciated their music for social, political and personal meaning. This is good stuff. Thanks for the memories.
Mr. Simon's humanity shows though in this video. He is an enormously talented man who is as modest as he is gifted. We see here the person as well as the musician. He has had a storied career, the importance of which has perhaps been understated over the past five decades.
The man is a musical genius! Just been privileged to seen the premier of the Josh Turner Guitar tour of the UK with Paul's brilliant Graceland album with excellent support musicians and dancers. Josh is also a musical genius - in the making!
I could listen to this 1,000,000. times
August 10, 2023 now, I'm workin' on it. Have only known of this exquisite duet for a couple of days. It's just the Best!
I think I have...started as College Freshman...now 72. STILL LOVE IT❤

Damn, that was magical. Thank you for posting it.
Unexpectedly wonderful ❤
Stunning..

2 of the best songwriters from US.
Immortal music, thought, feeling, thanks

Where have all the poets gone ? Today’s music is so manufactured. Very sad but we have our memories.

Where have you gone Joe DiMaggio?
Yes we do
@@eugencojocaru6189 well said, pal!
Genius apart , our lives are now intertwined with commercialism .
The eye is on the money not the soul
I didn't know that these two iconic music geniuses sang together! Thank you for this moment.
Willie sings with everybody❤
love this... i love you both... super in strumming guitar and singing...superb!!!
Paul Simon is surely one of the greatest songwriters ever. Make no mistake about it.
Along with folks like Cat Stephens and Willie himself, a true poet!
❤❤❤y
Paul wrote this song at my local station in England. He had just done a gig at our Folk club. Very emotional song whoever sings it. He was the best performer
he lived in England in the early sixties...is that it?
@@swingmanu9969 I didn't know that, I just knew he was on tour like the song says " One night stands"
The quality of this recording is so good. This is an excellent version of this incredible song. Paul Simon and Willie Nelson are phenomenal singers.
No words can describe how great this duet is
Since we're home-bound, might as well listen to this magic. Stay healthy.
Ha ha - I actually missed that one. The song did take me back to different times when it seemed we were more free - and our big worries were something of a different nature.

Two people two guitars and the rest is pure talent.👍
as a friend of mine recently said, "when you are happy, you hear the music...when you are sad, you hear the lyrics".
That's what music is poetry put to music. Stories written about their feelings. Right on. I wish I was homeward bound now. God Bless
So true...
For what its worth, this really helped me tonight.
Thank you and your friend
@@bignickcia thank you!
@@BENjamin3931 lisning the boxer of paul simon..
Willie's phrasing is just so unbelievably awesome. Both vocally and on the guitar.
I think this is my favorite rendition of this song, it suits Willie Nelson’s voice and style perfectly.
it is almost 2020 and I'm still in awe with these two artists.....memories,
It is now 2020 and I agree entirely!
Me too!!! I am 59 still loving the older music!! It helps me get through the day ❣️
The same here pal...
2021 and the awe is still around.
I love them both forever and how lucky we are.
So precious, those two. Words cannot express what their music expresses.
EVERLASTING COMPOSITION !... 👌. . .
I just stumbled on this by accident. Absolutely INCREDIBLE. Two of my favorite musicians. I've been luck enough to see them both in concert, twice. Now it's obvious that they should have done more together.
I'm in my bed, and this songs still makes me wish I was on a bus going back home from college in the 80s.
Me too. I could hear this daily
Great song, great artists- this will extend you life.... Willie is now 90 years!!😊
So grateful I grew up with musicians like this, and got to see them in concert. Tears!!

Underratted? Are you kidding me...pull your head out!!!
100% agree. Always On My Mind is a masterpiece
Willie's not underrated .... he's highly rated. Wonderful phrasing and an instantly recognizable tone. One of my top 5. Levon Helm is another.
Willy and Paul nailed this music value for us to hear from them life goes on lucky enough to hear from
Anyone else here in December 2024?
Yep, in St. George Utah
Yes!! Here in Southern Spain!

the harmony is beautiful to hear.. Peace.. please
oh my goodness!!!! What a gem!!!
I don't even know how to describe how beautiful this is. From the subtle to the clear, this is incredibly beautiful.
Maybe this is the majesty of Simon & Garfunkel. Their lyrics and songs are open to so many individual interpretations yet the message remains the same.
Wow.You know it's good when it brings you to tears!
Two amazing voices blending with a pureness of their styles. No mixers, synthesizers, or any adjusting of their beautiful music.
Paul Simon: A national treasure. Willie: The same.
