What a dream I had Pressed in organdy Clothed in crinoline Of smoky burgundy Softer than the rain I wandered empty streets Down past the shop displays I heard cathedral bells Tripping down the alleyways As I walked on And when you ran to me Your cheeks flushed with the night We walked on frosted fields Of juniper and lamplight I held your hand And when I awoke And felt you warm and near I kissed your honey hair With my grateful tears Oh I love you girl Oh I love you

[@cosmiccomedy7394]

I'm pretty sure his gf at this time was Emily Kokal of Warpaint.

[@kalmia01]

​@@serkansen0190 if you still don't know Simon & Gurfunkel music, i would suggest you from the heart to discover them, starting from their first years, eg the kraft music hall concert, where Gurfunkel, if i remember correctly gives a terrific live version of this song. And they both give a raw, touching and great proof of their artistic soul. Then you should absolutely see and listen to the "concert in central park"from '81 (i guess), what a stunning, magical night, atmosphere, Music. Then read about the story,and listen to "The only living boy in New York", the recording of it and the live version, many years after, when Paul briefly explains when he wrote the song for Artie. If u search pure music, and genuine, uncompromising, wonderful artists, S&G will fullfill your heart, soul, and never disappoint.

[@oldschool6558]

I'm utterly lost in this man's performance. So beautiful, powerful and touching... simply amazing. Wish I was an "Emily" to a man with this much emotion.

So I figured out John plays this a whole step higher than the studio version put out by Simon and Garfunkel. Kind of gives this very powerful song even more power. I would have never thought that possible. I love when people like John Frusciante tip their hat to great artist of previous generations by covering their songs. To me it shows great respect for those artist, introduces the music to a new generation of people who may not have heard it otherwise, and is royal treat for us all.

[@citylions8514]

Now this is perfection, everything fits and everything has an emotion.

I love to show my friends John Frusciante; he's my favourite guitarist of all time and one of my favourite solo artists. Whenever I do show them some of his work, they comment on his voice. They say it's not the best. I was thinking about it, and they're right. His voice isn't the best in the world. But I noticed, albeit not the best, it's so innocent and meaningful. It almost serves a purpose, being the way it is... John may not be the best singer, but he definitely sings with the most emotion.

At first listen "Emily" was so slow that I skipped over it many times. But after being forced to listen to it once when I was at a party I realized how intricate it is. Bravo John F!
