I had a completely different topic in mind for today’s blog, but then the TV show we watched tonight ended with the lead characters singing a rendition of “Bridge Over Troubled Water” and I just had to stop and listen to the original.
What an amazing song it is. So powerful.
I still remember discovering Simon & Garfunkel in junior high school. I couldn’t get enough of this song, or “The Boxer,” “Cecilia,” “So Long, Frank Lloyd Wright”, and so many others.
And then they broke up! I remember how distressed I felt, to have just discovered them and then they were gone.
But the music remains, as alive and wonderful as ever.
