I was about to say "doing a cover of Only Living Boy in New York is sacrilege", but then saw it was you guys. I worked at one of your gigs back near the turn of the century. You were impeccable professionals and a lovely band to have in the venue. I wish you all the very best, and love your cover.

Nobody in the history of popular music made so many brilliant covers of songs from so many diverse artists. All that but their amazing original work as a duo. And their superb solo work. And Tracey’s collaborations. Truly, two musicians who formed the backdrop of my quiet, unremarkable life with their remarkable work.

This is my favorite Simon and Garfunkel song, and while the harmonies and overall performance in this version are great, they don't capture Paul's bitterness and loneliness the way the original does. (The "Hey, let your honesty shine, shine, shine, like it shines on me" part is for me the most intense part of the original and I don't feel like it has the same intensity here.) That said, EBTG definitely deserves to get more attention than they seem to these days, and this cover is still very good.

Not sure where I was, but I heard this for the first time in years and I was mentally scrambling to connect. This cover is an amazing addition, a thing in its own right, and I agree with the comment that so often you don't hear Ben's voice in EBTG songs. It's so low-key--in keeping with the tone of the original song--and still its own thing. Not a doppelgaenger but a companion. So beautifully done.
