(Submit New Paul Simon Lyrics) (Submit New Paul Simon Lyrics) Review about Paul Simon Totally Special | Reviewer: smiles ------ About the song Father and Daughter performed by Paul Simon Paul Simon thank you for writing such a heart felt song. It is so beautiful and reminded me of the many ways that a father loves a child. Most of all it made me think about my Heavenly Father though, and how God is so awesome, mighty, kind, and just. And yes, God does not always intervene in our lives the way we would want but God does what is best. My heart is at peace when I think of that because I know that God can work things together for my good even when everything seems to be going so wrong. I just have to trust him and obey. Listening to the song especially this part - I'm gonna watch you shine Gonna watch you grow Gonna paint a sign So you'll always know I just thought wow sometimes I miss it. Yet...that does not change that God demonstrated His love for me by sending His son, Jesus to die for my sins and not only me but anyone who will believe in Him. And then I read this... There could never be a father Who loved his daughter more than I love you Thank you again Mr. Simon for writing this song. And thank you Lord for placing me in the loving care and arms of my earth bound dad. My Beloved Daddy | Reviewer: Aimee ------ About the song Father and Daughter performed by Paul Simon My beloved Daddy died from cancer just over a week ago on 23/10/09, two hours before his 57th birthday. I miss him terribly, he was my best friend and we were so close. I have been blessed to have such a wonderful Dad and was proud to have him give me away at my wedding nearly two years ago now. He ended his wonderful speach with 'in the words of Paul Simon, There could never be a father who loved his daughter more than I love you' and I have never forgotten it. This song has very special meaning for me and he will be laid to rest tomorrow with a copy of the words. I love you Dad. Xx About You Can Call Me Al | Reviewer: Param ------ About the song You Can Call Me Al performed by Paul Simon The song, like many of the songs in Graceland, are about how Paul Simon came out of a turbulent and tumultuous period of his life. He's lost his love, his career isn't going as great as he wants, and he's not sure how he's going to end up. In the midst of all of this, he takes a trip to Africa, a land that is completely out of his safety zone. He hears sounds, the sounds of cattle in the market place, scatterlings and orphanages, he sees angels in the architecture, he sees both the pain and the beauty of life on a completely different scale from what he'd ever understood, and he says, "Amen," and "Hallelujah." From the Ex to the Ex | Reviewer: margie ------ About the song 50 Ways To Leave Your Lover performed by Paul Simon My ex and I are still friends. When he told me how horrible his current relationship was going, I sent him a text with the lyrics, a few at a time. This is one of those songs that will never stop addressing one of the oldest ailments of the heart... I have allways loved THIS SONG | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song 50 Ways To Leave Your Lover performed by Paul Simon For years on end I've liked this song and thought I would eventually hop on the bus and drop off the key someday, but after 20 years and two kids, he took the bus and the girl in the song isn't me but someone else! for daddies | Reviewer: kayz ------ About the song Father and Daughter performed by Paul Simon when i heard this i cried like a baby. this reminds me of how much my dad loves me and how he's always there for me whenever i need him, even when i don't. and now that i'm leaving home i'll really miss him! to my Daddy I LOVE YOU! thanks Paul Simon. Oi... | Reviewer: Josh ------ About the song The Sound of Silence performed by Paul Simon To the idiots babbling about government mind control: Get over it. You are yourself controlled by your obsessive conspiracy theories. To the people trying to find meaning in the song: Nobody can tell you the meaning. You must interpret it yourself. Slip Slidin Way | Reviewer: zybbie ------ About the song Slip Slidin' Away performed by Paul Simon Some ones have a talent to slip and to slid. This talent is easily recognizable to the others who are gliding. These ones in another form live to steal defeat from the jaws of victory. These same ones know God's plan. bladek Slip Slidin Away | Reviewer: zybbie ------ About the song Slip Slidin' Away performed by Paul Simon Some ones have a talent to slip and to slid. This talent is easily recognizable to the others who are gliding. These ones in another form live to steal defeat from the jaws of victory. These same ones know God's plan. bladek To the guy whos European and saying stuff about Obama: | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song American Tune performed by Paul Simon If your not american then dont hate on Obama. If you are American and are still hating on Obama, then read a book about all the good he has done in our country. Know the facts; I mean the real facts Talk about pulling at the heart string | Reviewer: Eric ------ About the song Father and Daughter performed by Paul Simon I always loved paul simon and discovered this song for all the wrong reasons. My sister had the misfotune of losing her son when he was 11 years of age in a very tragic accident, he had just joined the school band and had been learning El conoro Pasa so I was listening to the essential album a lot, so we played El condoro pasa at his funeral. Simply the most heartbreaking day of all our families lives. He was the only Nephew/Grnadchild in the family at that point. Over 14 months ago my beautiful girlfriend gave birth to our daughter and currently the only niece/grandchild in the house, as you can imagine she has become a vital ray of light for the entire family and especially my sister who just adores her. I rememered this song recently as how best to describe how I feel about this gorgeous little creature that I will always have the pleasure of saying is my own flesh and blood. Plus of course what she doesnt know now but will is how she has helped a broken family pick back up the pieces. Brings a good tear to my eye. My own music suggestion, Paul. | Reviewer: Joram Arentved ------ About the song Duncan performed by Paul Simon God didn't approve of me, therefore I'm happy to let you receive this my repeated music-labor sug-gestion, which is just my own testimony to being happy to be an honest man, so that I can of course tell & e.g. help us all find out &, whoever's who, our best answers to, - sorry, to be continued, greetings, arentved@in.com, Santiago, Chile, (I was still born as a Dane). Lyrics are a tad better than the song itself | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song You Can Call Me Al performed by Paul Simon Someone here said the lyrics don't make sense. I believe the text speaks for itself. Clearly these are somewhat lost people in a life crisis situation. However, MY span of attention is also short so I don't feel like explaining or analyzing right now... Of couse, Paul Simon's explanation would be more in-depth. Little masterpiece | Reviewer: steve borrow ------ About the song I Do It For Your Love performed by Paul Simon This is one of Paul Simon’s best songs. Very minimal in form and a hint of water colour painting with splashes of colours bleeding into one another. It’s a nostalgic reflection on the highs and lows of falling in and out of love. There is a hurried marriage, the shared closeness during a harsh winter following. Eventually, reality sets in and all end in tears. There is so much condensed into this little masterpiece and the construction of the melody is truly brilliant. There is a superb interpretations of it by jazz giants Bill Evans and Toots Thielemans on their album “Affinity”. About the spinning angels.. | Reviewer: Mattias ------ About the song You Can Call Me Al performed by Paul Simon I think the angels actually ARE details in the architecture, and it's not they that are spinning, but the man. He doesn't recognize his surroundings or the language. His perception is spinning due to drugs, fatigue or confusion. Most of the lyrics is pretty straight-forward with three men (or possibly just one man) going through a life crisis. His body is turning softer, wife left him, he's a joke, lost, without direction. RE: What about Garfunkel? | Reviewer: Clandestine ------ About the song The Sound of Silence performed by Paul Simon Paul Simon wrote it, as well as most of the Simon & Garfunkel songs, so Garfunkel shouldn't receive credit for the lyrics. That is not to say that Garfunkel's voice isn't absolutely brilliant and pure. the meaning of kodachrome | Reviewer: dav ------ About the song Kodachrome performed by Paul Simon Paul Simon was shopping for a new camera and the sales associate in the camera store told him if he wrote a song about a name brand camera that he'd probably get a free one. Then the idea hit him, and he wrote the song about a Nikon camera and then he figured he'd include Kodachrome film, that way he'd get free film for life. If I ever write a song it's gonna be about TacoBell. Free taco's for life! Whooo Hoooo!!!! wow | Reviewer: B ------ About the song Father and Daughter performed by Paul Simon Love this song. Just discovered it through itunes...and these reviews are touching. Meghan, doubt you'll ever read this, but i lost my dad around the same time as you last year...he was about the same age and died of the same thing. I hope you had a great wedding...I so know how you feel and I wish you the best! Let it come to you | Reviewer: Andrew ------ About the song The Sound of Silence performed by Paul Simon There are some comments from younger listeners wishing for a detailed explanation of this song. My advice is just to say that songs mean whatever you personally make of them. Some songs do not make sense to us until we go through some experience in life. The greatest songs will grow on you and take on new meanings as you grow and experience life. So just enjoy the songs, and let certain lines jump out and grab you when you're ready. The Methamphetamine Speed | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song You Can Call Me Al performed by Paul Simon The drugs have entered my brain cells, sadly. They have left again. I saw the 'angels in the architecture'. It was different for me. I identify it with the Simon lyric from the spinning part. If there are angels, they have a human figure, and there is more than one. The whole figure spinning is the key to the image. It is the stations of Hell, forever posted on a spit, turning. Face, side of head, back of head, face; it's scary.
