Paul Simon's discussion on this song
May 7, 2022, 7:28 AM
|
|
he used "Graceland" as a place holder in the lyrics, but then never came up with anything he liked better, so he decided to go since he had never been, he was in Muscle Shoals I think, but anyway had to drive up to Graceland, hence the lyrics:
The Mississippi Delta
Was shining like a national guitar
I am following the river
Down the highway
Through the cradle of the Civil War

“And there’s a new album being released next week by Paul Simon and the 25 musicians it took to replace Art Garfunkel”.

My old brain remembers something like they were never friends.
Paul had the talent to write and produce tunes. Garfunkle had the ability to sing them.
Paul was jealous.
Together they were better than apart. 'Jan and Dean' are like that. Righteous Brothers?
Elton John and Bernie Taupin met from an add.
Often it takes two -- Warwick/Bacharach
That don't mean they are not good alone, but better as a pair.

just went different ways.
There is a great audio book that is a conversation with Paul Simon if you have Audible - I highly recommend.
Paul really wanted to do different types of music, which he did, and Art wanted to act, etc.

Maybe I need to give it another chance as a more mature

and wise adult ( I was actually referring to the whole album, not just the song), but even listening to this song now, there is still nothing there that draws me in. And that's unfortunate, because Paul Simon, with and without Garfunkel, gave us some stunningly beautiful, timeless music before this. Having said all of that, my musical tastes have broadened and changed over time, and some things I used to hate have really grown on me as I've gotten older, so maybe this will eventually click.
