Paul Simon - Slip Slidin' Away (from The Concert in Hyde Park)

[@Harmonical1]

This song is so powerful and yet so gentle. Why the hell isn't there stuff as great as this anymore!

There's only one Paul Simon. That's why!

Absolute Magical, so powerful and so soothing. Amazing talent! Thank you

When you look at his body of work, you cannot not be in awe.

Paul Simon ist für mich einer der besten Songwriter er ist für mich ein Tröster er war für meine Schwester auch ein Lieblingssänger sie ist schon in einem anderen Leben 😥😥 Dankeschön für deine Musik 🌟🌟🌟

"The nearer your destination, the more you're slip sliding away" is Zeno's Paradox in a single line. Brilliant.

[@MJ.71]

One of the most thought provoking songs ever, espc this verse: God only knows God makes his plan The information's unavailable To the mortal man We work our jobs Collect our pay Believe we're gliding down the highway When in fact we're slip slidin' away

[@gerrycoogan6544]

I've often commented that a Paul Simon album is worth buying purely for the lyric sheet. Once you add beautiful melodies, incomparable arrangements, inspired musical performances and peerless production, the man has no equal.

Who is going to take up the baton of writing so meaningful songs when Paul leaves us?

[@mikesylvan6860]

I absolutely adore this guitar, and Paul's version of "Slip Slidin' Away" just continues to get better with time. Nobody covers Paul Simon like Paul Simon.

[@tiffanyh1274]

I agree, he’s gotten better with age. That’s rare. I love Paul Simon.

So much admiration for this music master and lyrical genius. Thankful for the hours of joy he’s shared.

How do I get an Orchestra on a stage, with a few players as possible? Totatal genius..Paul is a genius..that beautiful man musician who plays the accordion and trumpet and sings and plays the Tambin live....Thank you

[@greenbeagle13]

Damn..., I am SO grateful he is part of my generation... I just saw him in Tampa (Farewell Tour), and it will probably be my last concert, and soooo grateful I was able to go...

[@peterbauer1494]

As a young man, I couldn't be more grateful that I know about his music and was able to see him in concert

[@almosteverywhere5949]

All the nuance in the melody and how it evolved over time is amazing!

Paul Simon's Music is Guided by A Condor. Home everywhere. His Face is Joseph under A Southern Sky.

[@samhendrian8658]

You can hear Paul's voice crack when he sings "He kissed his boy as he lay sleeping, then he turned around and he headed home again." I love how Paul subtly bares his soul while making universal observations about the human condition. When people ask me who my favorite poet is, I know I'm expected to say someone like Wordsworth or Dickinson or even Bob Dylan, but my answer is always Paul.

[@ccasey1904]

Me too!

[@samhendrian8658]

@@ccasey1904 A kindred spirit! It's almost impossible for me to pick a favorite Paul Simon lyric, although I often settle for the last line of "Train in the Distance."

[@ccasey1904]

@@samhendrian8658 I love all his songs! Richard Corey is sad but more true than most people realize probably! I came across an old cassette (of all things). I think it was “Songbook” or “Notebook”? And heard a Paul Simon song I had never heard before. Forget it’s name now. I could never pick a favorite line, sorry to say. Isn’t “Hazy shade of winter” Simon and Garfunkel’s too? “Kodachrome” is also a favorite of mine.

[@samhendrian8658]

@@ccasey1904 Ah yes, all wonderful choices! "Kodachrome" is one of my favorites too, and "Richard Cory" is beautifully heartbreaking, I remember studying the poem it's based on in high school.

[@gerrycoogan6544]

I have all of Dylan's albums but I rarely listen to them. On the other hand, I can spend weeks on end listening to nothing other than Paul Simon. He's unquestionably the greatest living songwriter in my view.

[@josephsalvas3698]

This Is A NICE CALM COMFORTABLE And ENJOYING GOOD Song. Don't be Slip Slidin and letting this Song Go Away. DO NOT LET THIS SONG END! Good Song Love It! ❤️ 👍🙂🎶🎵

I *WAS* there! To my amazement, I caught a glimpse of myself, wearing my nice, new white hat, at 0:31! (Not pictured is Veronika, who was kneeling down in front of me doing the sort of thing that made me fall for her in the first place - hence the broad smile on my face.)

Love this song, i still hear Arties voice in my head adding that extra touch ...my most loved version. Staring down at the later part of life, I truly appreciate that life has slip slided away and I guess in the end we all have one final destination and it is surely nearer. Where did it go, i just dont know

This is a really cool conceret. Does anyone know if its available in Australia to buy on DVD in a shop somewhere not online.

[@gerrycoogan6544]

Almost every time that Paul Simon has released a new record, all the way back to 'Sounds Of Silence', there's been a song on it which makes me seriously ask, "Is this the best song he's ever written?" At various times I've considered 'Sounds of Silence', 'America', 'Bridge', 'Something So Right', 'Late in The Evening', 'Hearts And Bones', 'Graceland', 'Proof', 'Darling Lorraine', etc to be his supreme compositional achievements. When 'Slip Sliding Away' was released as a single, I couldn't stop listening to it on repeat for weeks. It took me a month just to flip the disc over and discover the magnificent and scandalously undervalued 'Stranded In A Limousine'! We are honoured to be living in the time when Paul Simon was creating music which, more than any of his contemporaries, will almost certainly be valued for generations to come, long after the Dylans, Springsteens, Beatles and Elton Johns are known only to historians.

[@ClaytonTownley]

'... known only to historians'.... wtf? Such bs.

[@archiestanton2767]

Trumpet players will immediately recognize the trumpeter in the backup band is playing a "C" trumpet (usually the key of choice trumpet played in a symphony orchestra.) Bb trumpet is the trumpet almost always used in jazz and rock. As a trumpet player, I wonder why he chose to use a C horn?

[@msmith7795]

Because he can:)

[@gerrycoogan6544]

Because the song is in G major?

A call not to burn, but to donate organs after death Your bodies, and there are other people, It also carries people of extreme age on the donation matter from an adult to an adult who needs to say even skin tissue and veins. So from you will be alive you will have hope and right organ transplants this person is alive to the person going through more, This is towards Shbet Many lie in peace And here you have life on a world that will live so why burn your body after death I wish to all the peoples all the inhabitants of the land the people of Shbet Shlom of a king whose peace and seal have called peace to the God of Israel and the nations. There is no audience in any person so put this truth and peace in the response of loving artists And some of them will call an audience
