It's beautiful seeing people fall in love with the music I grew up with.
Just so
👍👍👍
"LATE IN THE EVENING" Is a great upbeat story telling tune that's just a Good Time....!
Thank you Harri for your brilliant reaction. 👏👏👏👏 The feeling I get when I hear this song is just as you experienced. One of the most beautiful songs ever written. Melody, Fender Rhodes, lyrics, strings, horns, sax, smooth, reminiscing and takes you to a happier place and time. Well done Sir Harri - Sultan of Reactions.
This is easy listening in that it's easy on the ears. Smooth as butter -- I hadn't heard this gem in years, Imadrummin. Classy song and performer, classy selection and class reaction, Harri. Thank you, fellas!
@@pncombies Much appreciated my friend. I think Harri was pleasantly surprised. 👍
Paul Simon never wrote or sang a bad song. 🤩 Thanks Harri 😊. Love your reaction as much as I love him ❤️!
Paul Simon definitely has a sense of humor as well. Back in the day on Saturday night live they had him come out and sing the song while wearing a chicken suit. Crazy indeed. 😂
This guy can write some lyrics, can't he?
When he won the Grammy for album of the year Paul thanked Stevie Wonder for not releasing a record that year. Stevie won the award the two years before and the year after Still Crazy.
I love this song, too. Paul Simon is a national treasure.
With Paul Simon, you can listen to a song and say, “that’s it, no way he can top this.” Then, along comes a new song and you are blown away, it is a 180 deg from the last one and now you’re thinking, THIS one is IT! So privileged to experience his music. He is truly a genius.
I feel like this song, and Slip sliding away, were both Paul Simon songwriting genius.
Beautiful song. Somehow, though I can't shake the image of him singing this song in a turkey suit on a Saturday Night Live Thanksgiving show.
The genius of Paul Simon. What a continuing gift he has given us for so many years.
That was the best reaction I have ever seen... The way you swooned over every part of this song. Good stuff.
"But I would not be convicted by a jury of my peers.... still crazy after all these years."
Paul Simon... just might be the greatest song writer of them all.
Agree on how great this song is, Harri. Great to see you appreciate it so much. I recall seeing a skit on Saturday Night Live of Paul singing this in a turkey costume. Pretty sure the show was hosted by George Harrison.
I had forgotten about that and just looked up the skit. Worth watching and VERY funny.
This whole album is great. I wore it out on vinyl in the '70s, and still put the CD on in my living room stereo often.
Me too, along with the perfect companion album - Art Garfunkels “Breakaway”!
I adore Simon & Garfunkel, but the genius of "Still Crazy" proves why their breakup was inevitable. Paul needed to spread his wings so the world could enjoy his solo brilliance.
I've heard Carrie Fisher in her one woman show called Wishful Drinking tell the audience that Paul, who had been in a relationship with Carrie, wrote this song for her.
She eventually was diagnosed with Bi polar disorder.
That was not about her.
A different girlfriend named
"Peggy Harper."
Carrie Fisher later came in his life during the 80s.
And during the time when his film "One Trick Pony" became a flop. And later he worked on the "Heart And Bones" album that also didn't work out. And his marriage with Carrie was ruined because of her
bipolor disorder while she get diagnosed. Paul was in a very deep depression. But finally his album "Graceland" had saved his life. The song itself was about her.
This is from Paul's 4th album with the same title, from 1975. Such a great album with 4 hits in the top 40 and winner of 2 Grammys. This is so beautiful with an addictive melody and wonderful lyrics that bring up nostalgic sentiments that could apply to anyone. The orchestral backing phenomenal with the sax solo being the icing on the cake. One of his best songs. Made it to Number 40 on the Billboard Hot 100's and Number 38 in Canada. Great reaction Harri. 😊
Thanks Harri and Imadrummin. 👏👏 Cheers from Canada 🇨🇦
Exquisite song just beautiful. Thank you Mary. 😀😀😀
@Imadrummin Great choice my friend. ✌️👍🇨🇦🤗🇺🇲
This is the best song he's ever written. You can't even follow it, if you're used to being in a key. At the intro, a couple measures don't even tell you where you'll start at the first verse. Then, he goes off in a totally different key with the strings and flute before returning to the original key. But, if you're used to a standard dominant-to-tonic cadence, it ain't there. This song was really thought about a long time. This wasn't thrown together quickly. It's brilliant. I don't even like Paul Simon, typically, but this is one of my favorite songs. It's a masterpiece.
Agree, such great songwriting---that chord progression, the modulations , wow!
Such an unusual album for Paul -- really stretching his wings, trying out new things. A definite must-have. No skippable tracks.
Kodachrome album is pure genius. Paul Simon is a musical Pioneer. His music can certainly change you!
The saxophone solo is pure gold.
The best version of this song is the one Paul did on Saturday Night Live while dressed in a chicken costume. It was fantastic and hysterical all at the same time!!
Yeah…I remember seeing that live…one of the funniest moments on SNL, and that’s saying a lot.
It was a turkey costume for a Thanksgiving show!
@@brianmccullough5764 Thank you. I am 72 and the memory isn't what it use to be. LOL!!
Great song! Paul Simon is a great singer songwriter. After his success with Simon & Garfunkel in the 60's, Paul Simon went solo in 1970. He has a huge library of songs such as "Mother & Child Reunion", "Gone At Last", "My Little Town", "Loves Me Like A Rock", "Slip Slidin' Away", "You Can Call Me Al", "Graceland" etc.
I wanna add AMERICAN TUNE, which is based on Bach and contains his best (IMO) guitar work ever. Such great lyrics to AT; it usually makes my cry.
“American Tune” has had greater resonance, for me, since 9/11/01. With tragedy and bad times,…you still need to carry on. America is not perfect, yet we are better at times than others.
When I saw Simon & Garfunkel, Live, in autumn of 2003, Chicago, they did “American Tune” as part of their set. Silent reverence for Garfunkel, during “Bridge”. And, singing with the Everly Brothers!
“American Tune”…honest critique
A quintessential Paul Simon song!
Paul Simon touched by genius. enough said. Another great song from the Album
is the Simon and Garfunkel comeback track "My Little Town" .Its a brilliant song that doesn't get much attention.
Paul Simon is a musical genius, from writing, arranging, producing, playing, and singing. From his early years with Art Garfunkel, all through his long and innovative solo career, I would rate him second to only Bob Dylan, especially as a lyricist.
I just love anything by Simon and Garfunkel or Paul Simon. The man was brilliant! Thanks Imadrummin and Harri.
My pleasure Diane. 👍
I know exactly how you feel. I remember hearing this song when it first came out loved it then and I love it now. My favorite Paul Simon song of all time; pure perfection ❤🎵
Great song and award winning album. So many fantastic tunes on this album.
You would love Paul Simon's "Late in the Evening". Up-tempo with Latin percussion and horns!
This is a song for anyone who has crossed 50 years and looking back on the errors and follies of youth and then gazing ahead at what could yet be if there's just a little more time to spare. It's wistful nostalgia and hopes of redemption and acceptance of the Big Inevitable.
Michael Brecker played the sax on this song and album. He also did so on Bruce Springsteen's Born to Run LP and a few Billy Joel albums, among many other iconic works.
Loved your reaction to this. It's a beautiful song.
My song. I just got crazier. I had this album, played it to death. Great time to be young Harri.
Simon and Garfunkel's "Sounds of Silence" came out in 1965. I was 8. A teacher in my school was a fan and played this song in class. Next year I will have been a fan of Paul Simon for 60 years. This incredible artist help define an era. And then, instead of disappearing into obscurity, redefined himself and his music again and again. He is still relevant and producing a brand new Paul Simon for the world to love.
Note: He has an ego. But, if anybody deserves an ego, it's Paul Simon! The expression is "musical genius."
Such an incredible song---now THIS is songwriting! Just listen to the chord progressions, you don't hear anything like that today on the radio. And what a melody, with the chords following the vocal melody, or is the other way around? What a great composition, and great instrumental arrangement
I love this song and the entire album!! Seems like only a few years ago, I would sneak into my brother's room and play his albums. This was always on deck. Somehow, he always knew I'd been in his room. Go figure. Haha...
YES this is a incredibly fantastic song.
Love this song! Thanks, Harri. 🙂
Love to hear you react to Paul Simon and Phoebe Snow Gone At Last
Harri: Never lose your enthusiasm, man. Love the reaction 💯
I got the whole fantastic, awesome album once, so long ago !! One of the best, drums the great Steve Gadd BTW.
The way this song resonated with you is a thing of beauty.
Thank you.
Monumental album from one of the greatest songwriters of pop music ever. Interesting first track off that album. The band backing him up is the house band from Muscle Shoals (Aretha's classics were recorded there). Barry Beckett is on Fender Rhodes, Harri. David Hood is on bass. Roger Hawkins is the drummer. Michael Brecker was on alto sax. BTW, Ray Charles does an incredible cover of this, Harri. Thanks Imadrummin. Nice.
Great song! Great reaction! I love Paul Simon songs, and I love that Dashiki.
What a great tune!! Great suggestion. Great reaction.
Great Reaction Harri, My favorite Paul Simon song. I fear I might do some damage one fine day, but I would not be convicted by a jury of my peers. Great Words. Am I crazy or did I hear you say my Dad Paul McCartney.
Gary, after following Harri's reactions for a while, Harri is a huge fan of Paul McCartney. I think Harri has another Paul named Simon to be a fan of. He was already, this just solidified it. 😀 Thanks for stopping by!
so good that it hurts a bit.......
The harmonic and overall intelligent content of this tune is at a super high level, especially for a pop song, and especially compared to what's out there now. As you allude to, coming out of the bridge with the strings, flute and then that perfect, soulful sax (Michael Brecker, RIP), the song takes you to another level. I'm glad you liked it so much.
Still have my album from the 70s. I think this was his best although Graceland is a close second. Thanks Imadrummin for bringing it to Harri’s attention. He sure seemed to like it. 😊. Thanks Harri for the great reaction. 👏👏🇨🇦
Much appreciated. Paul Simon's gift. 👍✌
Love this song!
Great request Imadrummin! So many of these wonderful songs slip from our memories and it’s nice for someone to remind us. Thanks Harri🌺✌️
Debbie, my pleasure. Your pick of El Condor Pasa earlier this month was brilliant. I have listened to it several times since you brought it back to us. Still Crazy is yet another gift brought to us by the great Paul Simon. 💖💝✌
This has been a favorite of mine for many years

Paul Simon, by no fault of his own, is
simply... musical
The song still moves me as much (if not more) than when I first heard it.
Such a great album and one of my favourites by Paul Simon. It has so many memories attached to it. Thanks Ima and Harri.
Such a beautiful song and thoughts of a happier and simpler time. One of my favorites from Paul Simon hands down. Thanks Cynthia 😀✌👍
Good song. Classic
I can’t over emphasize! What an amazing song! I remember when this was released. I wish I could give this 100 likes!
Great reaction to a great song Harri, glad you enjoyed it so much. When I look at how much the world has changed in my lifetime, I sometimes feel like I am Still Crazy After All These Years.
This whole album is fire. Still Crazy, 50 Ways to Leave Your Lover, My Little Town, I Do It for Your Love, ... No weak tracks at all.
Fender Rhodes ... perfect on this song.....
Great song choice from Immadrummin. It really got Harri excited.❤😅
Thank you for your kind compliment. 👍
I had totally forgotten about this diamond...
If you haven't, "Loves Me Like A Rock" and Kodachrome" are a must to check out! Also with July 4th coming up, "American Tune" is a good one!
The sax solo here gets me everytime regardless if it's this version or a live one. The entire album is probalbly Paul Simon's most jazz influenced ever and the solo is played by Michael Brecker (r.i.p.) on the greatest to ever play a horn!
Mm, same icon who did the "Auld Lang Syne" section on the end of Dan Fogelberg's "Same Old Lang Syne". Jazz players turn up everywhere, stealthily, hugely influential...
I ain't no fool for love songs that whisper in my ears....! I am glad to see you've discovered the genius of Paul Simon.
I always wonder what Artie might have added to the vocals on this one. Probably to most "Simon & Garfunkle" sounding of Paul's great solo catalog. Thanks Harri, you're the Best. (Next to Georgie of course!}
That would have caused even more problems with Harri's regulatory board of musical exceptionalism.😲
I love the Small Pieman!❤
Paul did a few really nice songs that I always felt were essentially jazz ballads, like this one. Another great one that will make your ears tingle is "Something So Right".
He could write such great songs in an amazing number of different styles! Enjoyed your reaction to this one. 😊
Something so right = my fav song of all time, pure genius from imho the greatest song writer ever.
@@scottgallaway8089 I don't think I can pick one greatest song ever, but I sure wouldn't argue with your opinion on this one!
The entire catalogs of Simon & Garfunkel and Paul Simon are eternal classics. Listen to it all.
Harri, your reaction brought a huge smile to my face! Cheers man!
Still crazy after all these beers!
I am 82 and this is my song ❤️
You make me smile
Awesome reaction. I need to crack out my old CD of this (and get a CD player too.)
Btw- you might like the video of Paul Simon doing about half of Still Crazy on the Dick Cavett show. He is noodling through the half unfinished song on his guitar while bantering with Dick Cavett. You can tell it will be a gem. (Cavettbiter channel).
Also- TH-cam phenom Josh Turner does a great acoustic cover of this song.
Great song and to top it off, the legend Michael Brecker on that sax solo . And 100% agree about the Fender Rhodes.
Good choice Harri! Try paranoia blues. A Paul Simon song of the dangers of ordering Chinese food in New York!
I love how much you enjoy your job Harri!
I just absolutely adore Paul Simon’s music. Please give a listen to his song One Trick Pony. It’s a song from a movie he was in 1980 of the same name. It’s actually a very good film. Highly recommended it.
Your reaction was as beautiful as the music you reacted to. Not long ago I heard this track and my reaction was similar to yours. I thought: christ sake what a gem of a song. This Paul Simon fellow really is a genius and certainly knows how to share his emotions by writing songs we can all relate to. This song was very bluesy. It is this slow bluesy tempo that makes us feel the music. The slow speed gives us time to feel. It's true what you say that we musicians and music lovers are not like the rest. For us music means more.
I' gave you a like and another like in the comments
Nice memory 😇🤩🥰 Love, loved the song 💯❤ Havent heard for years 🤔😊Thank you Imadrummin 🤩😇 and Thank you Harri
Much appreciated Agnete. Paul Simon's gift to all of us. 👍
Finest song, great song, thanks my dear friend :D
you should cover, It's great to see you inspired by this.
Ray Charles does a cover of this song that is Big Soul Amazing.
PLEASE, Harri..Try "Something So Right" and/or " American Tune"...more Paul Simon...
Thanks for the tunes... I'm 99% sure that Willy Nelson (Maybe "Willy and Waylon") had this song on vinyl...
You should listen to "I do it for your love", from the same album. Also a masterpiece if you ask me.
Harri, you like Karen Carpenter (as do I); you might be interested to know that she covered this song on her 1979-80 solo recording...
This is a nice one.
In a sea of three chord wonders, with loud screaming and fast fingers and all the trivial sensationalism, Paul Simon is the rescue ship with musical champagne and 4 different keys and jazz chords including fully diminished chords, unashamed to use a slow tempo and get a REAL message across about the human condition with well written music and lyrics that still has a hook. Many of today's listeners won't listen to this because the have been weened on musical garbage that speaks of the superficial that hides behind computerized sound effects that passes for music. Occasionally there is a real writer and musician that shines through the fake stuff.
A masterpiece in melancholy love it Love you
Just slip out the back Jack!
Good one, Imadrummin - great song and great album!
Thanks my friend Thanks for stopping in. 👍👍👍
😊😊😊
Amazing reaction!!!
Tem uma hora q ele fala q lembra Paul McCartney e eu sempre achei isso tb, q a vibe dessa música é muito MaCa.
The sheer transformative nature of this song is astonishingly unbelievable. The production had to master and correlate with the intensely personal feel of the lyrics. A masterpiece with e ery note placed in as delicately as a newborn in a bassinet. It moves the heart whilst you feel you need to be still as death itself so as not to miss a moment.
I did not learn about Vedic culture until only recently.
In fact the precursor to my learning the Vedic sciences, was I learnt different branches of Western Philosophy. The inner interest or what Western culture call "craziness" always remain.
But in psychology not all these are considered as disorders and in fact Vedic culture is a belief which happens to be the truth!!!
It is a model 9f life on Earth given to us by the ancient sages.
Another great choice Imadrummin. You have a special knack for picking great hits. Love it.
How are you Daniel? Haven't seen you much lately.
@@Cynthia... Had some heartache. My dog died at home last Saturday. She was my Little Winnie girl So sad. Had all my teeth extracted and getting implants. Ouch. Not ready to celebrate. ☹️ Thanks for asking Cyn. 🇨🇦🇺🇸🇬🇧
Thanks Daniel our friend. We missed you buddy. 👍✌🤘
@@DanielVolk-jm4nt Aww I am so sorry to hear about your dog. They are true family members for sure. Take care and here’s a hug for you. 🫂
@DanielVolk-jm4nt I'm sorry for your loss. 😪 So hard to loss a beloved pet.
Feel better soon, my friend. 🙋♀️🤗🇺🇲🇨🇦🎶
