Simon & Garfunkel Scarborough Fair

Are you going to Scarborough Fair?
Parsley, sage, rosemary & thyme
Remember me to one who lives there
She once was a true love of mine
Tell her to make me a cambric shirt
(On the side of a hill in the deep forest green)
Parsely, sage, rosemary & thyme
(Tracing a sparrow on snow-crested ground)
Without no seams nor needlework
(Blankets and bedclothes a child of the mountains)
Then she'll be a true love of mine
(Sleeps unaware of the clarion call)
Tell her to find me an acre of land
(On the side of a hill, a sprinkling of leaves)
Parsely, sage, rosemary, & thyme
(Washed is the ground with so many tears)
Between the salt water and the sea strand
(A soldier cleans and polishes a gun)
Then she'll be a true love of mine
Tell her to reap it in a sickle of leather
(War bellows, blazing in scarlet battalions)
Parsely, sage, rosemary & thyme
(Generals order their soldiers to kill)
And to gather it all in a bunch of heather
(And to fight for a cause they've long ago forgotten)
Then she'll be a true love of mine
Are you going to Scarborough Fair?
Parsley, sage, rosemary & thyme
Remember me to one who lives there
She once was a true love of mine.

[@mattjames9331]

Parsley- takes away bitterness Sage- a symbol of strength Rosemary- symbolic of faithfulness, love and remembrance Thyme- a symbol of courage

[@normancurragh768]

Matt James Very good post, didn't know that's what was meant, your learn something new every day, THANK YOU.

[@tonyrobson4681]

[@fourteencrows1244]

+SUGAR XYLER you've missed out.

[@Marta-wl6su]

one of the most beautiful songs of all times, enchanting.

[@fr.j.steelecsc2150]

So much nostalgia in this, the Medieval Fair long since past but not forgotten, the 60's anti-war movement that was nostalgic for a non-existent utopian past, the nostalgia of the author's lost love, and the memories of those old enough to remember this duet from a long gone childhood.

[@andynoles2669]

my parent's used to listen to them when I was a kid back in the 70s as we all slept by a wood burning fire place.

[@fr.j.steelecsc2150]

Wow, great memory, Andy. We had a wood burning stove that kept the house toasty in the winters, too. Those were the days!

[@SUGAR_XYLER]

you must be a writer

[@nicklongo2939]

No, that's the 60's anti-war movement that was nostalgic for a now-existant nuclear peace. Some stubborn children have yest to learn.

[@waynenaude2777]

Wow

[@tasmar555]

OMG...these overlapping voices give me goosebumps!!!

[@michaelnush651]

Maria Stefanea I always say that myself the overlapping voices make the song a true masterpiece! Calm but eerie in a good way!

[@debbiecarter1293]

its called a canticle

[@Tmanaz480]

Dorian is the goosebumps mode.

[@dwightdodd3734]

No better pair of voices ever existed...............

[@calemaine]

It is actually an overlapping of 2 songs, seamlessly arranged by Art Garfunkel.

[@QueenofTaterTots]

This was my lullaby as a child, I love it so much

[@SnickyNicky96]

My uncle used to play this song on the piano. I never knew the lyrics, but I found the sheet music in a box that my uncle gave me when I got my piano from my grandparents. I decided to start listening to this song with the lyrics so that I can sing it while I play this beautiful song.

[@SirGlooper]

SnickyNicky96 That is so cool, have you told your uncle?

[@SnickyNicky96]

Adam Roberts I haven't been able to see him (he's been in Europe with my cousin since November), but in about a month he's going to come back. I'll show him when he gets back at the end of May.

[@maxskellington910]

+Damla Karakus Welcome! You will have great experiences here!

[@daviddring5531]

it's actually a very ancient English folk song... arranged and sung beautifully but the words are old as time itself... Scarborough is a town in Yorkshire

[@loganbovee8424]

[@stephendavis6894]

Taught to Paul Simon by Martin Carthy, husband of Norma Waterson and father to Eliza Carthy. They live in Robin Hood's Bay, a stone's throw from Scarborough.

[@klatewilson5170]

It's KZbin, mate, some people will pounce on anything just for the sake of argument.

[@klatewilson5170]

"Ancient" is used in a kind of slang-way in many parts of Britain. Where I live in the North, if a footballer is over 33 the fans would call him "ancient". Don't take everything so literally.

[@joeysaha]

fuck off clean shirt

[@christinamussared2285]

Always loved this song. My mama sang it to me when I was little. Well my mom's a wiccan. So that would explain why it creeped the other kids out lol. But I love it, i think it's beautiful.

[@Alfakatt]

+1 for wicca simon and garfunkel fan mother that creeped friends out :D

[@ColumbusGuy77]

This song makes me feel like I'm in a time long ago, around the beginning of autumn. Almost a medieval times kind of feeling...Amazing, the different things music makes you envision & feel.

[@joehaywood4132]

You’re right, it does have a medieval/autumn feel to it.

[@TonyEnglandUK]

@@joehaywood4132 That's because the song was written in medieval times.

[@AZOutdoorstuff]

how can one possibly dislike this masterpiece?

[@LeticiaMayFourth]

I think the same.

[@Imissthepostoffice]

+james c I wouldn't worry about it (the dislikers). I wouldn't worry about it at all.

[@ShellyHillman]

joyful

[@IgnatzKolisch]

+james c How is it a poetic masterpiece from Paul Simon? This song actually dates back at least to the 1600s. Paul Simon is a fantastic songwriter, but this isn't one of his!

[@TheMrpatyk]

+IgnatzKolisch Actually there are two English 'folk songs' here. Only one of which is Scarborough Fair. I think Simon's art is combining them and using ancient sounding instrumentation to come up with an incredible arrangement that spoke to the time of the war in Viet Nam and iindeed the time of eternal war,

[@donchamberlain7183]

Still sends chills after all these years

[@dwightdodd3734]

Right there with you,Don....................

[@williamgerost1558]

this song is not like others !

[@ownSystem]

Dance minons. Lol

[@brahnan3075]

A shirt to be buried in, a plot of land for his eternal rest and some flowers to decorate the grave. The soldier dies on a battlefield far away, his last thoughts are about his true love at home.

[@lilyluu5924]

+Brahnan n I'm probably influenced by the beautiful voices of Simon and Garfunkel but when I read your comment I teared up.

[@SUGAR_XYLER]

No, his last thoughts are WHY AM I HERE

[@Jackitate]

+Lily September hey, that's how you know you're still alive ;)

[@ohevshalomel]

Yes, it’s true that this song is centuries older than Simon & Garfunkel. My brother really liked this song. He liked it so much that he called our local radio station when we were kids and asked the DJ to play it, and when the DJ wanted to know who my brother wanted to dedicate it to, my brother said my name just so they’d play it. This reminds me of him when I hear it.

[@HarryNicNicholas]

i get the feeling this version was stolen (!) from martin carthy, but he stole it from mister traditional, so...

[@Cugastratos]

I love this version SOO MUCH! My mom had it on tape because it was from her era, but even today, it sounds sooo beautiful! I can appreciate it much more now that I'm older.

[@dwightdodd3734]

I was just thinking the same thing,Cugastratos...........

[@GeorgeVreelandHill]

One of the best songs ever. Real life and real music.

[@audreywhite7786]

I love Scarborough fair!!! Thank you Simon and Garfunkle!

[@dwightdodd3734]

I don't think they ever made a bad song.....pretty impressive for ANY duo.....

[@vitietthiet2237]

The lyric seriously made me cry. Through my comprehension (which could be different than people out there), I see a soldier fighting on stranger's land; for what he was fighting for, he couldn't remember it anymore. Wear out physically and mentally, he remember his homeland with plenty of sunshine, specialties, and the girl he loved. Not knowing when he will die on this stranger's land miles and miles away from home, he wished someone would remember that he was from a place which has plenty of sunshine, specialties, and a girl he loved. I could be wrong; but from my point of view, this lyric really made my lacrimal gland sweat.

[@northumbrianhighlander5528]

vi tiet thiet This song is about a man who loves a woman and does not get her. This song has nothing to do war with war what so ever.

[@CossackGene]

JarlofVestfold Actually, the above interpretation isn't so far off. Note that this song isn't just "Scarborough Fair" but also "Canticle"--two songs put together. And "Canticle" is about war: listen to the lyrics "generals order their soldiers to kill, and to fight for a cause they've long ago forgotten." "Scarborough Fair" is about love and impossibility, which symbolically also aligns with the story of a distant soldier.

[@northumbrianhighlander5528]

The song is about the Yorkshire town of Scarborough and i've been there many a times since i like not far from it. But the song relates to a man whom tells us his former love give him impossible tasks to perform. However there is also hypothesis is could be about The Great Plague of the Middle Ages, but the song itself is common with a Scottish Ballad The Elfin Knight. Where an elf threatens to abduct young women to be his lover unless the perform impossible tasks. The melody is more 19th century which talks of a traditional English fair, other versions of the song go "Sober and grave grows merry in time", "Every rose grows merry in time" and "There's never a rose grows fairer with time." The song has no relation to war since as we all know Scarborough has not been in a war with anyone nor can it be since tis just a town. Folks have changed the song since the original hence all this war bollocks.

[@norrysponse1799]

JarlofVestfold , are you being intentionally obtuse? This arrangement is a blending of two different songs, (1) Scarborough Fair, and (2) Canticle. The Scarborough Fair part is what you describe, an adaptation of a traditional folk song. The Canticle part is about pointless and brutal battle marring a pastoral setting and is an adaptation of Simon's earlier anti-war song "The Side of a Hill" which appeared in the album The Paul Simon Songbook. The lyrics and melodies are merged, but they are different songs with different topics. Here are the lyrics of each, unentangled, and for you reference also The Side of a Hill: *Scarborough Fair* Are you going to Scarborough Fair? Parsley, sage, rosemary & thyme Remember me to one who lives there She once was a true love of mine Tell her to make me a cambric shirt Parsley, sage, rosemary & thyme Without no seams nor needlework Then she'll be a true love of mine Tell her to find me an acre of land Parsley, sage, rosemary, & thyme Between the salt water and the sea strand Then she'll be a true love of mine Tell her to reap it in a sickle of leather Parsley, sage, rosemary & thyme And to gather it all in a bunch of heather Then she'll be a true love of mine Are you going to Scarborough Fair? Parsley, sage, rosemary & thyme Remember me to one who lives there She once was a true love of mine. *Canticle* On the side of a hill in the deep forest green Tracing a sparrow on snow-crested ground Blankets and bedclothes a child of the mountains Sleeps unaware of the clarion call On the side of a hill, a sprinkling of leaves Washed is the ground with so many tears A soldier cleans and polishes a gun War bellows, blazing in scarlet battalions Generals order their soldiers to kill And to fight for a cause they've long ago forgotten *The Side of a Hill* On the side of a hill, in a land called Somewhere A little boy lies asleep in the earth While down in the valley, a cruel war rages And people forget what a child's life is worthOn the side of a hill, a little cloud weeps And waters the grave with its silent tears While a soldier cleans and polishes a gun That ended a life at the age of seven yearsAnd the war rages on in land called Somewhere And generals order their men to kill And to fight for a cause they've long ago forgotten While a little cloud weeps on the side of a hill

[@vitietthiet2237]

Norry Sponse Interesting! By reading each verse, you get different pictures, and by blending them in, you get something totally new, yet retain the essence of both...

[@chrissyjimi6266]

I love this song! I got this vinyl some time ago, I never understood the words, but listening more closely I realized it's about a man at war asking his love to make him a shirt. It represents the dichotomy of war and love, at least to my interpretation.

[@sparkletts2222]

Simon and Garfunkel mastered a lost art in the world of music. They told stories that transcend music; we can all listen to this song and close our eyes and open our minds to times when we were true individuals. Music should talk to our primal beings.

[@MegaMeanDean]

Yes indeed, sparkletts, you are so right. They had a beautiful harmony together that is hard to find. I wish they could have kept it together.

[@hamupinhere]

These guys had such an intriguing way of writing really dynamic music that was both dark and beautiful at the same time. Often imitated but never duplicated. That's the one thing I can say about these guys' output. They really need to give their fans one last taste of their talent, whether it be live or an album, before mortality catches up with them. The fact of the matter is I never got into them exclusively, but God do I appreciate them for these brilliant songs they've made.

i used to work in a concrete factory back in the early 70's, one o my co workers was a vet (dave rankin if anyone knows the name) we went on a camping holiday around cornwall (this is the UK) in his VW microbus, and the one tape i recall having was 6 and 12 string guitar by leo kottke. that's all, a summer of carrying concrete about and eating chocolate biscuits by the solent river in southampton.

[@Princessluna808]

Money is to blame. ;(

[@chasr7860]

How vividly this song paints a picture inside a Vietnam era soldier's mind. Not only his thoughts of home, but chronologically his thoughts after entering the war, polishing guns to how we will be blazing in, to the blunt louder realization "they have sent us to kill" and then echoing thoughts from the massive anti-war movement developing at home "a cause they have forgotten". We are afforded a glimpse into the internal conflict that the soldiers faced, in addition to have been swept from the life we know and placed into battle.

[@dougbaxter6565]

Ah ... peace, love, happiness, grooviness, and woodstock. Make love, not war. Flower power ... and this beautiful song has it all.

These herbs must be a drug, addicted to this sound.

[@MrMilanoLau]

If they were to rewrite the song, those herbs might be replaced with things like: cocaine, ice, Scopolamine, Heroin, Crack, Crystal meth, AH-7921, Flakka, Bath salts........

i watched English drama serial called "Heartbeat" Everytime i listen this song it flashes Phil Bellamy character of the show his life till he died.

This song is very appropriate for that area of northern England.

I am 66 and just woke up with this song in my head for no good reason and I had to come here and listen to its haunting beauty again.Funny how not a big fan of S&G or the song when i was a teen - it was always move and find another song as I heard it coming on my car radio-ugh not again-too slow I would think. Yet today something drew me back in time and I seek its calming beauty in this insane loud world of . Maybe my wife who passed away 2 years ago trying to calm me down- who knows why things pop up in our minds? What a great song it truly is.

I'm 60 and love them. I'm so sorry about your wife. Music Therapy at its' finest! Been playing this song in piano class lol. I went from looking for Taj Farrant video singing Tenn. Whiskey, to Joan Biaz Diamonds and Rust, and after a few brutal raw tears (Just worked 4 -12s so tired) and ended up here with my music brain and ADD/ADHD haha. Am learning guitar and finishing a bachelor's in psych so an atypical hippie. Man, what a nice stroll down memory lane! Gonna read Steven Tyler's DOES THE NOISE IN MY HEAD ANNOY YOU SOON. lol. Received it for a Mother's Day gift as requested. Blessings and prayers and may Jesus and the universal language of music help you through your journey!
