Una de las mejores canciones de la HISTORIA dentro de uno de los mejores discos de la Historia. Simple, bella, armoniosa.... Es una delicia escucharla, llenarse de alegria y felicidad. Hoy en esta mañana de otoño soleada es simplemente un placer disfrutar de ella una vez más. Desde 1986 formando parte de mi vida. Gracias Paul Simon por esta JOYA.

On an album with Graceland, Al, Diamonds, Bubble….why is this track the one I keep coming back to? Probably because of its simplistic beauty as well as in my opinion the most brilliant portrayal of the end of a relationship from the point of view of a middle aged man ever told.

I never bought any LP or cassettes back in the days - Graceland was a rare exception to that rule, and I never regretted it. (Remember how you feel when you buy a whole album and there is maybe 2 songs that may be OK ?)
