He looks so lonely this was probably when Art was in Mexico. Every time I listen to song for the asking I imagine these photos
Paul Simon in the recording studio for Bridge Over Troubled Water, 1969
Ok this and the fact that Paul looks at Art and then at the camera when he sings “we might as well be apart” in overs.
paul being a smiths and cocteau twins guy makes so much sense
Thanks for uploading this they’re so silly
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 🤕)
simon and garfunkel invented the situationship

can’t believe that John Lennon recorded a demo in his home almost half a century ago and the little cassette tape was saved and then cherished for years and years and years and then eventually people figured out a way to make it into a real song and now I get to listen to that song while I sit at my desk at work.
I might be down by the schoolyard with Julio btw
They/themFor all things that make me smile :-)
