My favorite song for ever. Paul was and is still a genius songwriter and singer.

'they've got a wall in china, it's a thousand miles long, to keep out the foreigners they made it strong...and i've got a wall around me, that you can't even see..it took a little time to get next to me"/ with so much "music" these days that is just noise, this musical poetry will stand the test of time for a thousand years. Thank you Paul Simon. When you couple that with the guitar work and the simple delivery it is magic in a bottle. Nothing else like it, effortless, as good as it gets. 40 years ago he sang it and I remember the phrase from memory, and I am 70 years old. Nothing compares.

I am 73 years old and, during a power failure, I took my Annie Lennox CD and played it on my portable CD player. She chose this song and sang it so well. I had to come and get it from Paul himself. Have always loved this song. Yes, the lyrics are brilliant. I have spent years building walls around my heart and I never thought I would hear these emotions put to music so well. I think he has not been given credit due for his ability to say what is felt with words. So to the point and heartfelt. He has something that few people are ever gifted with. If you know "For Emily Wherever I May Find Her" you know what I'm talking about. Listen to it sometime "we walked on frosted fields of juniper and lamplight." If i am in a state of panic or anxiety, all I have to do is listen to something by Paul Simon and I am calm. Of course, the sweetness of Garfunkel's voice cannot be denied.

Yes, the words"genius", and "top of his game" definitely fit here perfectly. What an amazing legacy of daring and unique songs he has. So diverse.....maybe more so than anyone in history.....it has to be between him and Dylan. Dylan's peaks were higher in some ways, but Paul is more consistent than anyone in quality of material and performance.

I wish with all my heart that I could have produced a sound like he did, both instrumentally and vocally. If I could play an instrument, it would be a guitar. I thought about it once, but I didn't think I could ever play as well as I could sing. Paul Simon is a genius in his own right...WOW! Thank you for this....

A magnum opus. He has so so many great songs in his remarkable repertoire that I've loved for over 60 years, but this one to my mind, is the most sublime. The chord changes are magical and the melody and lyrics equally so. The bridge is almost another song in its own right.

I woke up this morning with this wonderful tune bringing me into the brand new day. "How wonderful", I thought... I'd like to share it with as many of you as I can, so that it may also rub off onto you too. And I hope it does. With every day that passes, I seem t be becoming more grateful. Yes, there are some nasty things happening in the world around us, BUT when I look at how much I can be grateful for, much of that just seems to fade away. I have tried to become more of an "open book" & you know what ! It's great. Why shouldn't I ! If I was, I'd be scared to share & that would be a travsety of why I & yes you, are here. Even a little bit of sharing is good & for those who don't have it can seem to be a LOT ! Try it. The more we share, according to our means of course, the more the joy that comes from it grows. Love you guys ! You know it don't ya ! Thanks Paul Simon for this wonderful song & having such a nice way of putting many things into perspctive ! Love you too ! Bet you knew that too !

To the earlier question: There's a pickup in the guitar, and he's transmitting wirelessly via a transmitter mounted on the guitar strap (behind his back). If you watch him pick up the guitar at the beginning of the clip, you can see it as he puts the strap over his head.
