I first heard this song at 12, played to me from my dad via a cassette player after we'd moved across the globe. There are few times when you look up, listen to the silence of your own father listening to a track, them feeling those pangs of regret for having shown you, and having felt the weight of each word. Lyric after lyric, sang as if on a recorder on repeat in that man's mind, his whole life turned around having moved across the globe, bringing his family with him. Sometimes you get a real window into someone's soul and this was it, for me, for my dad, at the tender age of 11 or 12. I can't say what it fully meant to him, being kind, but I can understand why he was hesitant to show me it after a boozy port evening, and why it's stuck with me for so long

I liked reading that. A sad old man who enjoys recalling playing this song liked what you wrote. "Born unloved", life ruined "on purpose" by my family and my friends, I deserve to still be crazy after all these years. Yet, here I still am. "Maine" says "hello". Happy Earth Day tomorrow. I "celebrated" by removing 5 gallon buckets worth of plastic scraps from our Back Cove. Many people stopped on the walking trail to say "Thank you for doing that" to me. That left me happy. I was expecting to hear "The Sound of Silence"(another great Paul Simon song I grew up with. They didn't have to take the time to do what they did, and my efforts don't feel unappreciated one bit now.

So agree. He was, to me, the greatest sax player of his day, with amazing chops that would make your jaw drop, but he wisely knew better not to display that here.

I wish everybody who covers this song would listen to this a couple dozen times first. Every additional flourish pushes it into schmaltz territory. Simon did it perfectly. Also: if you can't hit that high note as effortlessly, don't bother.

@@tonywright8294If all you know of Willie’s songwriting are his big crossover hits like “On The Road Again” your opinion is understandable. But if you really know his writing catalog, you’d know just how deep it is and how great Willie is. “Crazy”, “Funny How Time Slips Away”, “Darkness On The Face Of The Earth”, “Hello Walls”, “Night Life”, “Half A Man”, “Summer Of Roses”, “The Party’s Over”, just to name a few gems from his brilliant output
