This is one of the most beautiful songs ever written.

[@Pear-zo4em]

Chance-Big Country is another favourite, so good, shame that Stuart Adamson died.

[@daveburns3886]

Paul just had first two verses and told art and producer it was best he ever did.. and it was amazing, art convinced him to add the last one and it somehow was even better !

[@thebuzzman13]

And one of the best ever sung.

[@garyziegler7710]

This is where you understand that Art Garfunkel has one of the greatest voices ever recorded.

[@SG-js2qn]

This is heavenly gospel. It's the original. I'd say it's the best song Paul Simon ever wrote, and his career is stellar.

[@justinchetham-strode5234]

Diffficult to argue with that. I'd say Paul Simon is one of the best songwriters of the last century.

[@user-sx7wo1yl7y]

Agreed. The man could write music.

[@cjpreach]

100 years from today, people will still love this performance.

[@shirleydurr411]

I love the way you listen like nobody's watching.

[@johnalden5821]

Yes, Paul Simon wrote this, and this is the original version. It won a Grammy for best song in 1971. All copies are nice attempts, but nothing will ever touch this.

[@marywinn8953]

Im 70, and this song still touches my soul.

[@scottmoquin]

"When you're down and out, when you're on the street, when evening falls so hard, I will comfort you."

[@colleenmahony8803]

That part.

[@scottmoquin]

@@colleenmahony8803 this part always touches me deeply.....I picture someone living on the street and it's night again....and it hits hard

[@judywein3282]

Yes, between Paul Simon's beautiful lyrics and Art Garfunkel's angelic voice, it moves you to your soul. It will each time.

[@ythomitnellum]

And never forget Larry Knechtel whose piano was simply perfection.

[@judywein3282]

​@ythomitnellum you are right...absolutely it was!

[@jakeo8910]

without doubt.

[@user-ug3fn4xu3y]

One of the most beautiful, well performed and written songs ever. Simply angelic.

[@jackiefloyd8003]

They are the original singers and songwriter. Art Garfunkel sings and Paul Simon wrote it. Profoundly beautiful song.

[@Straydogger]

Simon is also singing the third verse.

[@rk41gator]

@@Straydogger Their trademark harmonies are heavenly.

[@brucefrank5556]

​@@StraydoggerYes, but that song was written by Paul knowing Art would sing the lead.

[@drumsybatabamboom8022]

One of the finest songs ever.

[@j.k.1963]

If there is anyone who receives a song as beautifully as possible, it is you Sara ❤

[@voodooacidman]

this is one of the most beautiful things humans have ever created!

[@dr.strangelove7788]

Paul Simon will be remembered for generations for being one of the greatest songwriters.

[@brucefrank5556]

That vocal by Art should be remembered also.

[@dawnt5487]

[@norwegianblue2017]

I wish we still made music as pretty and melodic as these two made.

[@perrymorse4390]

Your reaction to this song reminded me of how I felt the first time I heard it. 50 years later, and I still tear up.

[@trishgrant2715]

Goosebumps at all the high notes! Still

[@dawnt5487]

It’s truly the combination of Paul’s song writing and Art’s voice that make this such a masterpiece.

[@cartridgemusic]

pity, that they always argued about the money...

[@edwardimhoff3106]

The short guy with the dark hair (Paul Simon) wrote it. His Partner, the Tall guy with the light frizzy hair Art Garfunkel) sang it. Simon & Garfunkel were the best folk/rock duo in history.

[@willtopper]

My wife and I chose this song instead of the traditional here comes the bride as she cam down the aisle. Our exit from the altar was 'Morning has Broken' '

[@wiggion]

Paul Simon wrote it, Art Garfunkel did almost all the vocal. Released in Jan 1970. The whole album is incredible. I guess this would be called folk/pop, but is classical styled. This is 'art', for a "pop music song", this is at a whole different higher level.

[@SpiroFleecy]

Nobody does it like them, the originals. So beautiful.

[@princessadora]

I don’t know anyone that listens to them. great song though

[@DefenestrateYourself]

@@princessadora meet more people then

[@raycope2086]

A beautiful reaction from a beautiful woman, Sarah. Fortunate are they to whom you give your heart. I wish you rainbows.

[@OlivusOrchards]

Garfunkel could make the Happy Birthday song sound like a masterpiece.

[@dawnt5487]

Most agree!

[@Frankincensedjb123]

This is gospel. This is church. For the longest time, I thought it was about a lover being there, but it's oh so much bigger and eternal than that. It is the gospel of hope and love. God bless

[@j.k.1963]

It is about the best friend we all have and are.

[@solitarybee3714]

This is indeed the original song, written by Paul Simon & sung by Art Garfunkel. A duo for the ages.

[@cliftonparago4547]

Arte Garfunkel, blonde, sang lead while Paul Simon, darker hair, sang harmony. Paul also wrote the song and arranged it.

[@jeanostrom4860]

Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel were one of the greatest singing duos iof all time.

[@justmoose6534]

They are the original singers. Paul Simon wrote the song and Art Garfunkel was the primary singer.

[@Sp33gan]

In a way, this gorgeous song marked a point where the innocence of the 1960s ended and the jaded reality and growing distrust of the 1970s began. The Beatles broke up right around this time, The Who made the leap from a top singles band to the powerhouse they became, The Rolling Stones closed the Brian Jones era - replaced by Mick Taylor - where the band echoed The Who's jump into the upper echelon of the greatest bands, and a time when Richard Nixon became US president - an administration rife with corruption and Nixon's prolonging of the Vietnam war so he could get the political power he craved. Bridge Over Troubled Water not only helped to close an album, it closed an era.

[@FavoriteMovieDate]

In contention for best song of all time. A masterpiece among masterpieces.

[@dukeofkool]

It's Ok to cry, when you hear this song.

[@maryreeder2805]

I was a teenager when this came out. It changed my life. Greatest song ever written.

[@brucefrank5556]

No such thing as the greatest song.

[@rebekahcunningham2159]

My mother always said that this was her song to me.❤❤❤

[@shirleynoble685]

The build from the single piano to “All your dreams are on their way” is genius. One of the many reasons why no cover will equal the original. And one could see how heartfelt your reaction was.

[@neilsimon467]

In a Documentary I saw about the making of the album on the BBC they explained that the final verse didn't exist until the day of the recording. Paul Simon wrote the song to just be a quick album track about friendship, that's all he wanted it to be. The Producer and Art Garfunkel said with an extra verse it would be a number one single. After some time arguing Paul agreed and went to write another verse. Also the song was going to be mainly sung by Paul but while writing the last verse Paul heard Art singing it for rehearsal and told Art he was going to be the main singer when they recorded it. The rest as they say is history......

[@JS-TexanJeff]

I've known this song over 45 years....I still tear up, despite how well I know it. It's not just the words that impact me, it's the vocals/harmony on equal level that just tear me up!

[@dawnschneider1823]

Such a glorious song! Beautiful reaction!

[@paulinewatts4603]

First heard it as a young teenager. One of the greatest songs of all time. Still makes me weep decades later.

[@LQOTW]

That song soars. All the way to heaven.

[@porflepopnecker4376]

On the cover photo of this album, Paul Simon's hair makes it look like Art Garfunkel has a giant walrus mustache.

[@TheParis55555]

NOBODY sings this song better than Art Garfunkel!!

[@pamagnolia]

Gorgeous song!! Really touches your soul!

[@user-yj9sp8qs9w]

CLASSIC Simon and Garfunkel. I ❤️

[@bostonvair]

I react like you did every time I hear this song. As others have said, this is the original version, written by Paul Simon (the shorter guy in the foreground in the photo) and sung by the angelic voice of Art Garfunkel (the guy with the blond afro in the background. Paul Simon provides harmony vocals on the third verse. I tear up every time I hear this song.

[@kenvarnold3659]

Tears, tears, tears...this is the original...bless S&G

This is the original written lyrics and music by Paul Simon sung by Art Garfunkel and Paul Simon over 50 years ago. It’s an amazing experience. Love this song since it was new. The album is wonderful

[@user-zj8fu5wq4z]

Still gives me the chills. It's so beautiful.

[@kben036]

I grew up with this song and it still brings me to tears. We all have low, low times, but one friend can help us up. Even when pain is all around. Just magic.

[@patrickseevers3858]

My mom used to sing this song to me when I was a little baby

[@MadMayorZag]

We sang it to both our kids as infants. They’re now 25 and 23 ❤

[@houngandave]

there is a story. paul mccartney was once asked if there was a song, any song, that he had wished he had written. without hesitation, "bridge over troubled water".

[@danrieke9988]

After Bob Dylan and the Beatles, they were the epic musical poets of the 60's.

[@dagmar.6954]

This is one of the best songs by Simon & Garfunkel. Absolutely loved them & their harmonies. You won't find a bad song. You've done a few of them already. Others are "The Boxer", "The 59th Street Bridge Song", "Homeward Bound", "Mrs. Robinson", "At The Zoo", "Cecilia", "America", "I Am A Rock", "El Condor Pasa" etc. Paul Simon went on to have a huge solo career with lots of great songs.

[@VaveeDances]

Yes! They are the original. Paul Simon wrote this, and he knew that his partner, Art Garfunkel would be the perfect person to do the primary vocals.

[@ChuckRagland]

I KNEW you would love it!!😃

They weren't that great. Assassinations, riots, Kent State, segregation, Vietnam, the Cold War, gay people had to hide it. Now is better. I lived the 60's and 70's.

[@oldprankster7606]

Incredibly emotional - from Paul Simons writing, to Art Garfunkel's soaring vocals, to the masterful crescendo of the recording, one of the greatest songs to emerge from the late 60s. One of the greatest songs ever. The Hollies tried to mimic this instant classic with "He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother". Nice song, but not even close. This song spans generations, probably even centuries. It's message is enduring.

[@thomastimlin1724]

it won a Grammy for song of the year....this song is sort of anthem for the end of the turbulant 1960's. You can thank famous studio musician Larry Knechtel for inventing the piano part. It is Art Garfunkel, the tall curly haired one who is singing the lead vocal on this and knocks it out of the park" [like a homerun in baseball]. simon joins him in some harmony near the end.

[@davelang7541]

[@justwondering5651]

The third verse starts out cryptically, "Sail on silver girl, sail on by. Your time has come to shine, all your dreams are on their way; see how they shine." I hope this replaces the mystery with something better. Paul's then wife was his "silver girl". She had noticed some grey hairs which discouraged her. Imagine your husband immortalizing you in his very best work with those words of encouragement and hope for the future.
