A little help for the ones struggling with music theory: Chords are basically made of three notes (could be two or more than three, but let's say it's three), the root, the third and the fifth. Example: In an A minor chord, the root is A, the third is C and the fifth is E. The first two chords of the song are Eb minor and Db major. In "Hello darkness my old friend", Art is doing the main melody, going from the root (Eb), to the third (Gb), to the fifth (Bb) and then to the fifth of the next chord (Ab). Meanwhile, Paul keeps singing the root of the first chord (Eb) and only changes to the root of the second chord (Db) For me the coolest part is in "Because a vision softly creeping... And the vision that was planted in my brain". In this part, the first chord is also Eb minor, but then it keeps switching between B major (actually Cb major, but let's not get into that) and Gb major. Why do I like this part? Because Paul just keeps singing Gb, which is the third of Eb minor, the fifth of B major and the root of Gb major. Very creative and leaves room for Art's voice to shine So, it doesn't make sense to say that "Paul keeps singing in minor", they are both singing in minor if they are singing a minor chord, the diference is which note of the chord each one is singing. Anyway, thank you very much for the video, I love to listen to multitrack songs

I love the shaking in garfunkels voice, makes it sound much more emotional

[@DarkandBroody]

Yes, I agree. Vibrato may be a very subtle thing, but it's very effective in adding feeling to the song

[@frandanco6289]

@@DarkandBroody Vibrato is actually 2 notes and adds much if sung correctly for that passage.. Some people really get it and their singing is so much more beautiful.. Others who are really bad like Stevie Nicks, well, there you have it...

Mason Jar Beiler - He sang like that but it was not real vibrato, but sounds like someone who needed to learn how, but did not... He sounded great, back then in the 60's ! That is all that mattered...

[@L_Martin]

@@frandanco6289 Can you give an example of a song where Stevie Nicks does it badly so I can hear what you mean?

[@andysitton1703]

The "shaking" is called vibrato and is usually not advised in a two-part with a strong harmony line. However, Art almost gets away with it here because it disguises his inaccurate pitching in several places. With many voices it's fine if one voice - not necessarily the lead - uses vibrato. Composers generally call for vibrato only for solo instruments/voices because more than one creates discord as they are varying pitch at different rates. If you listen to choral singing, especially gospel, you'll notice that only the lead, if there is one, uses vibrato. ABBA uniquely used vibrato for both female voices simultaneously in several songs because somehow they both did it at the exact same speed... That's the only way it can work with two voices and it's why Paul doesn't even try in this song. Not to be confused with Tremelo, which is rapidly alternating volume and extremely difficult for human voice, whereas vibrato is rapidly alternating pitch. Most singers have a natural vibrato and it takes skill to suppress it when singing in harmony. Deliberately exaggerating one's natural vibrato is the cardinal sin of many pop singers who are not the great vocalists they think they are. Basically, if you're not Whitney Houston or Judith Durham, save it for the opera.

Cesar Romo they both are, its in minor key, but saying simon specifically is "singing in minor" is misleading. the first like, "hello darkness my old friend", they start in unison, art rises to a minor 3rd above, then a fifth. then in "i've come to talk with you again", they start in unison, art moves to a major 3rd above simon, then a fifth, and back to a minor 3rd. it isnt "keeping the minor".

Attention Thomas Seixas ! Thanks for a simple lesson on chords. I have an old story for this great song. Miss. Julie, my guitar master Mr. Pinto's daughter, taught this song to me for the first time, exactly 50 years ago, in 1970 ! She was using a peculiar rhythm pattern which I can remember even now. She played the song in Am scale using chords: Am, C, F and G7. For Eb minor scale, the chords shall be, following her pattern, Eb minor, Gb major, B major and Db7. All 4 chords elegantly related to each other: Am and C Or Eb minor and Gb major are I and VI th relative major and minor chords using same 8 notes. C and F Or Gb and B are I and IV, Tonic and sub-dominant. C and G7 Or Gb and Db are I and V7 , Tonic and Dom7. There could no better lesson for guitar learners than this master piece ! Even now my entertainment is to try some chords substitutes to my first learning !

[@beatclubweddingband]

Any engineers out there who want to tell me how they got that short reverb on the kit which is so central to these great 60's recordings. Is it echo/delay (same thing) chambers/plates? Is it on the whole kit or just the snare? - its just a short burst. Its also worth mentioning the incredible work of these players to follow a version of just acoustic guitar and vocals that swings so wildly out of time but somehow they managed to get a take down that was usuable. An almost impossible feat I think especially when the song dips so dramatically at the 5.11 spot on the drum take. How did they do that??

[@CODMarioWarfare]

My guess is that it's natural room reverb, in conjunction with relatively few and distant mics as well as no or a little primitive compression.

[@parascopes]

back in the 60s drumkits were recorded with 2 microphones. one bass drum, one overhead, if the two microphones were place into the right spot (you need a ruler an some good ears) the invisable 3rd microphone appeared. i once did that setup at my studio, sounds typical 60s, sounds like ringo :-) i guess this recording was done by the wrecking crew, they had some nice real reverb chambers, but in this case its a spring reverb on the drums group master, drums were mixed to one track, together with bass (bouncing) back in the 60s most studios recorded just 4 track.

[@Pimp-Master]

That "short reverb" on the drum kit sounds like a 15% delay added during the mix to stereo.

[@cassianandor4103]

A lot of these important 60s records were recorded at Columbia records in NY, the rooms there were known for their reverb.
