    ------ About the song 50 Ways to Leave Your Lover performed by Paul Simon

    ------ About the song Kodachrome performed by Paul Simon

Idk how you can tell us what this song is about when you yourself are not Paul Simon, how can you say that we want kadachrome for your reasoning when Simon himself has changed the lyrics over the years from "everything looks worse in black and white" to "everything looks better black and white." Stop coming up with your theories when they have no weight to it.

    ------ About the song The Boxer performed by Paul Simon

I wasn't aware of the additional lyrics and they add a missing dimension for me. "After changes we are more or less the same". We endure, we maintain. The song is a tribute to endurance and survival...but, perhaps it is more.
The final verse has always been what moves me and it is the most easily relatable to anyone's life. I see it as a comfort; after everything we remain, we survive. I also see it as a challenge we survive but perhaps we don't thrive, overcome. Endurance, survival... is it the same as succeeding, thriving?

    ------ About the song Father And Daughter performed by Paul Simon

I actually have never heard of this song since last night... My dad was writting things down to put on my Senior page and he wrote the chorus to this song "I'm gonna watch you shine
Gonna watch you grow
Gonna paint a sign
So you'll always know
As long as one and one is two
There could never be a father
Who loved his daughter more than I love you" I cried... Just thinking of how much I love my dad, and everything he has done for me... He was who I leaned on to make it through my mom and dads divorce, everyday he told me he loved me and that although we couldn't bring her back he knows she loves me unconditionally... The night my mom packed her bags to leave, my dad promised me that no matter what I do or where I go tat he would always be one step behind me, and that he would never leave me. Now only 1 1/2 more months to go in my senior year I can't help but think that pretty soon i'll be on my own... Out of the house living my own life, but it will be okay because I know what where ever I go my dad will ALWAYS be there for me... Iloveyou dad! Your the best father any daughter could ask for!

    ------ About the song The Sound Of Silence performed by Paul Simon

his vision starts with him being alone. he is on a narrow cobblestone street, possibly in europe where I hear those are common. there are a lot of people and neon lights, so a city. the people, to me, seem to be doing thier lives, but not living them. not paying attention. I think it is a comment on city life, and how you can have a lot of people together but all of them being alone and scared to speak up about it. it is about not caring for eachother in the city. but clearly, there are many interperetations.

    ------ About the song The Boxer performed by Paul Simon

I heard Alan Friebell speak the other night and he mentioned how he used the lyrics of The Boxer for an assignment in an English class and the professor asked him to read "his" poem to the class. After the first couple of verses at the point where the refrain "Lie-la-lie" comes in, the class all chimed in with the refrain now knowing that "his" poem was just that - a lie.

    ------ About the song You Can Call Me Al performed by Paul Simon

The song is about alcoholism. & Betty (Ford) when you call me you can call me Al (cohol). Why am I soft in the middle, Why am I short of attention,,,,etc., etc., etc. Think about it!

    ------ About the song You Can Call Me Al performed by Paul Simon

Guys, this is song about aid workers and diplomats. No secret these guys have a problem with alcohol (the AL of the song). They work themselves to death and use alcohol to cope, lose their families and end up an beer bellied middle aged joke(a cartoon). The angel maybe their only hope if they can find them...

    ------ About the song Father And Daughter performed by Paul Simon

I have a six months old daughter and I love her with all my heart. I just have a problem with her mother and I am not happy with her. I am afraid every day that if I leave IF will lose my daughter. This song just keeps me strong because I want to see her development till she gets married.
