Simon & Garfunkel - Old Friends/Bookends - The Paul Simon Special

[@itemband3363]

The way Art looks at Paul.

[@kiwe7511]

You can tell he absolutely LOVES him...even now when he speaks of him it's with great fondness

[@edwinpilchard6325]

this song is a reverse OZ Moses trance from when I was 2 years old , how can it be anything but hauntingly beautiful because of that regardless of the music or lyrics

[@EVANSMUSIC19]

They would be a cute couple.

[@tedgrowney8981]

It goes back to when they were kids. They would look at each other’s mouths when harmonizing to get it right.

[@FilmFlam]

From their great album "Bookends". I got this LP when it first came out in the 60s. They sang "How terribly strange to be 70." And now I'm 70. "How terribly strange..." But I still feel like I did back then.

[@mxplk]

Rich Roberts, I've had the same life trajectory as you. How terribly strange to be seventy, indeed. When I was in my twenties I thought those words were so poetic.

[@JoyAloha709]

I hear ya!

[@uriahjeremiah174]

A trick: you can watch series on flixzone. I've been using them for watching all kinds of movies during the lockdown.

[@tristenhartney9674]

I always wonders how it truly felt… but I won’t REALLY know until I’m there god bless pal

[@avlisk]

How Paul knew to write those words at such a young age? For the first time in a long time, I took note of my birthday this past June and realized I am 73. It really sneaked up on me. How strange indeed.

[@Prousto]

This is a tribute to great talent and to endemic hair loss amongst middle-aged Jewish men.

[@Rmm61794]

😂

[@ellepennell3706]

Old friends are the best friends. I hope i live to see them become friends again

[@igalflint]

Cheers!

[@jenniferbrown8712]

i do too ❤ this song has been making me teary the past week. how terribly strange to be seventy, but they're both in their early 80s now i think. i wonder how often they think about this, and each other...

[@RepentfollowJesus]

My old ones turned out to be fakes for 40 years. I loved too much. It made me blind.

[@karamoss4130]

Did you see how when they were ready to start singing, Garfunkel moved up to sit closer to Simon? Love S&G and this song.

[@lauradimitriadis4371]

While everyone else was going crazy over the Beatles I was listening to S&G albums over and over. Their harmony was so good and their words painted pictures in my brain.

[@karenreardon5398]

I was one of those going crazy over the Beatles and listening to and loving Simon & Garfunkel as well.

[@rich52569]

There wasn't room for both?

[@blindpew69]

The Fmaj7 to Cmaj7 chords of the guitar intro are just so haunting and wistful. A shining example of Simon’s genius, with the song’s essence distilled in a couple of bars.

[@fernandomezagaldos4240]

The Best Duo in The History!!

[@Bassman.9]

Nah. That goes to Lennon/McCartney.

[@unbridledenthusiasm]

"Boys, that is a song that deserve a good intro. Let's have another run at those cards" LMFAO

[@laurafarris4506]

Priceless my ❤ is helped at 72 I found you two, old friends forever....life so short ❤

[@nbenefiel]

I met my best friend in third grade. We are in our 70’s now.

[@cherixbiggs5819]

Sweetest harmony ever in my lifetime. Thank you, God, for letting me live during their time. 🙏🏻

[@kenseibert144]

Simon and Garfunkel are old friends both came many years singing their old songs from the 1960s their friendship lasts a lifetime of true meaning of life love and peace 🎶🎵🎶🎶💙💙💙

[@VoltVulture1]

I discover this album when my grandpa gave me his original vinyl from 1968

[@gloriatoribio405]

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ paul n art are d greatest dou i love both of them

[@randyaluyen5383]

A good song, a guitar, harmonizing voice...that"s it....

[@LordGreystoke]

Their pitch is perfect. Their voices sublime. Sigh....

[@135hpgurl]

Such a beautifully written and performed song. These two voices together have always been and always will be perfection. Gentlemen, you touch my ❤ and soul deeply. Thank you very much!

[@hellobeautiful6085]

You can't make an old Friend ! They just have to stand the test of time.

[@g-a-i-l-]

On New Year's Day Eve 2023 great to find this. Is Charles Gordon still with us? Let's get a new photograph of him. So wonderful to see him rush in, old friends.

[@williewillaims9069]

Thanks Paul & Art for all the great memory's of this music as I was growing up in those summers of the late 60, wow Thank you

[@MYJETGLO]

Simply beyond beautiful...perfection in everyway!!!!

[@thegraduateandapprenticeen6065]

That harmony at 3.32 to 3.36 - genius

[@Fan_Made_Videos]

That old 70s TV show format made me expect to see Grover or Kermit walk across the screen wanting to participate. LOL!

[@kewkabe]

They got that 70's variety show "unfunny skit before the actual song" down pat though.

[@MarioAdaesuz]

I love Bookends it's so nostalgic

[@BELA32]

Beautiful song beautiful performance

[@christaylor5668]

No one better

[@coramarquez6400]

Whoaaa, i just love the lyrics. So poignant. I would love to hear this song with friends when i will be turning 70 Godwilling...9 yrs from now. I love S&G!

[@patriciabarnes7034]

Absolutely priceless... A beautiful song and I love the feelings it conveys. Love S&G 💕 💕 💕

[@mistylongo8403]

[@TheTrueKailash]

[@pauldockree9915]

Rest in peace Charles Grodin😢😢 The Heartbreak Kid 1972 ‧ Comedy/Romance ‧ 1h 46m

[@frantaheinz6350]

The Bookend is very speciál one. Its tingling very sensitive string Always gives me shivers

[@derpydogz0259]

i love the skits

[@sanddab]

Charles Grodin was so funny.

[@jonhowe2960]

Grodin is kinda perfect in this 👏👏

[@ManCave1972]

Is that Charles Grodin? What a find this is

[@mr.tanglinman5710]

I once had this vedeo of beta, and gone somewhere with beta. Anyway Paul's Guild F-30R Special sounds so curious. I mean with Brazilian rosewood, this guitar got a very brilliant tone, especially it's hi tone quitely different from others. Another play with Jessie Dixon Singers and Toots Thielman shows us the other instinct with mute play, also can't be heard by Martin nor Gibson. Thank you for your movie 😊

[@brandanbullard7620]

Are they gonna be back where United I kind of missed that the old days They work together

[@paddymitchell2259]

4 thumbs down you must be deaf that was fantastic

[@brucegelman5582]

😢

[@leon723]

RIP Chuck Grodin. This clip nicely illustrates his bone dry sense of humor.

[@mt_gox]

oh god it's just too painful

[@yujiuchi]

"hi, paul" so acting,

[@fienchenmietze9572]

So funny

[@brandanbullard7620]

I wchis that get back together

[@CarlosHenrique-ui6yd]

Beatles, bee Gees, Simon e garfankel, Elvis, Sinatra e outros poucos que esqueci, não haverá mais nada nem parecido, muito ao contrário

[@timetraveler759]

I know what I would have told the studio producer about his que card intro😏

[@bravestarr2001]

2:45 When the amazing song starts, and the terrible skit ends.

[@EmbraceBoredom-pr7rt]

My God thanks 👍

[@rapperjof]

I love how they’re both good friends…but they’re visibly BOTH not tryna do that shit😂

[@tripjet999]

See - Tom & Jerry.

[@squaretriangle9208]

Art feels the lyrics and unfortunately, Paul was right, all that is left is the photographs

[@AllenJones-w3p]

The most poignant musical moment in S&G's entire catalogue.

[@randyaluyen5383]

A good song, a guitar, harmonizing voice...that"s it....
