The way he speaks about him oh my
““Please don’t leave out the word love. I loved this guy Paul Simon, and I loved him when I was 13 when I met him. This love permeates the recording session…You got the love in from Paul and Artie? You got that in? It’s a very deep, entwined friendship. It bewitches me. That’s a key point. It doesn’t sell well, though. It’s not negative, it’s not dirty and you’re not going to sell many papers. It doesn’t take the low road.””
— - Art Garfunkel
i know palestine will be free in my lifetime. i know palestine will be free in my lifetime. i know i will see the day palestine is free and i will see her shake the dust of occupation from her heels. i know the old people and children of her history will return to their ancestral homes, their houses, their valleys, their olive groves, not to to set their roots down again because their roots have always been there, will always be there, but to grow again, bear fruit for harvest, and never be cut down again. i know palestine will be free. i grieve for palestine and dream of palestinian joy.
Just like how all of Paul Simon’s songs are about Art Garfunkel and if you think otherwise you’re not thinking hard enough
all my posts are about simon and garfunkel even when they seemingly have nothing to do with simon and garfunkel sometimes yr just not thinking hard enough sbout simon and garfunkel
Okay, can we please talk about how Song for the asking is literally written almost like a desperate love confession? It’s killing me like “Take it, don't turn away I've been waiting all my life” oh go to jail Paul Simon.
(Also, a bonus - this is a clip from the harmony game documentary where Paul and Art talk about this song. We’ve probably all seen it a million times but it never gets old 🤕)

Paul and Arthur - sexy little minxes
i don’t think rpf is bad bc like 81 year old paul mccartney would have to take so many specific steps in order to find and read beatles fanfiction that i feel like any exposure to it would be his fault. not to mention that he would probably like it
people talking about the phrase "none of those words are in the bible" like it's a tumblr meme when simon and garfunkel said this shit
They/themFor all things that make me smile :-)
