Simon & Garfunkel - The Dangling Conversation

Poetry in music

If I recall right, in 1966 or so, this beautiful song was largely overshadowed by 'Homeward Bound'... but this is one of my ALL TIME favorites!!! Thanks for putting it on!

Great stuff!!!! Thanks for posting!!

The sun peeking through the curtains, sitting in a quiet room gathering thoughts, listening to this beautiful song so many years ago. Lyrical & Musical genius...hitting every emotion through this wonderful piece never gets old & remains timeless within my memory. This portion of music remains recorded for all time it has been about 47 yrs. ago that this song was recorded there abouts. Still wonderful & memorable... Live life, love often, & enjoy the music of your time. Thanx & peace 2 ya

I love this song and it only peaked around 25 in the top 40. This has one of Paul's best songs.

engage in authentic conversation and be present

such a lovely tune....

There has been NOTHING written in the last 10 years that even approaches this!

this is real poetry. most songwriters nowadays have substituted shock value into their lyrics instead of exquisite imagery and language. you also find more songs nowadays with trashy lyrics that do not really count as poetry.  

A lovely piece of poetry set to music and I for one wish there were more individuals as talented as these two men.  They sang about important things in lives we can all share.

I love to read, and when I finish a great book I wish I could read it again with the same surprises.  The verse in this song stating, "And you read your Emily Dickinson, and I my Robert Frost, and we mark are place with book markers that measure what we lost", always brings chills to my brain knowing this is a great truth.  What a special two writers / singers with the ability to see life realistically!

De los mejores dúos que ha habido. Gracias

oh my - and didn't we all say we were NOT going to have a marriage like THAT..   

Did I forget to add how magnificent and beatiful were the minds of these 20-something song-writers at the time?    It was absolutely incredibl, now that I can look back and compare.

Modern so-called 'songwriters' could learn so much from Paul Simon.

yup. their best. and that is saying a lot.

A brilliant way to describe the uncoupling of two people who have fallen out of love

agree

Better than anything written nowadays true music right here.

Brings me right back to September 1966... heck, I was only 15...learning that Bass Guitar...I still have it...amazing...

It’s hard to express how much I love this song and I cannot count the times I’ve listen to it through the years 🦋

Speed too fast. Sounds like 35 RPM or something, making it a higher pitch. Too bad.

Ich liebe SIMON und GARFUNKEL🥀, 🎸🎶 was für große KÖNNER DANKE😘💕

A truly great song. Paul Simon is one of the most talented songwriters of his generation - a generation that includes Bob Dylan and John Lennon!
