Simon & Garfunkel

Paul Simon和Art Garfunkel作为歌手和名人成长的十年是人们在希望和恐惧间几乎每日动摇的十年；是嬉皮士聚会和在东南亚的地毯式轰炸的十年；是全民反叛和城市社区纵火哄抢的十年；是歌唱“Age of Aquarius”和呼喊“尼克松下台”的十年。

60年代中后期是Simon和Garfunkel在事业上的鼎盛时期。他们的关系则也游离于情绪紧张和艺术的自然和谐之间。Simon在1986年的采访中坦言，“Simon和Garfunkel的每次分手，无一例外，都是源于个性冲突。”
.....
在1968年的一首短歌‘bookends'中，Simon和Garfunkel预示性地刻画了挥手道别后难遣的怀旧之痛，“A time of innocence / A time of confidences... / Preserve your memories / They're all that's left you"。

而我们除了回忆还有这些歌。　　　　

－David Fricke, OLD FRIENDS: Simon & Garfunkel, Columbia

********************************************************
Old friends, old friends,
Sat on their parkbench like bookends
A newspaper blown through the grass
Falls on the round toes
of the high shoes of the old friends

Old friends, winter companions, the old men
Lost in their overcoats, waiting for the sunset
The sounds of the city sifting through trees
Settle like dust on the shoulders of the old friends

Can you imagine us years from today,
Sharing a parkbench quietly
How terribly strange to be seventy

Old friends, memory brushes the same years,
Silently sharing the same fears
....
Time it was and what a time it was it was,
A time of innocence, a time of confidences.

Long ago it must be, I have a photograph
Preserve your memories, they're all that's left you
