I ran to unplug it and someone was like “pls no, can we hear Diamonds on the Soles of Her Shoes next?” Dude managed to take the two most awful parts of the 80s (Reagan and apartheid) and make a yuppie-friendly album that still totally slaps over 35 years later.

I tell you this as a culturally observant non-American westerner (I'm Australian), there are a small cast of zany characters who I think of as being uniquely American. And not in some tacky, flag-waving sense. Someone like Hunter Thompson or Theodore Roosevelt or Bob Dylan. Certain personalities that have been forged by a unique American identity. I have always understood the _'American-ness'_ of Paul Simon's songs. Like in The Boxer he talks about being in New York in the winter and befriending homeless people and how bad he wants to go home, or in Papa Hobo he sings about how good Detroit's hockey team is and how much carbon dioxide you breathe in while living there. There's nothing like a Paul Simon song. It's like a folk tale about travelling through he U.S., town by town, and being on some kind of beatnik hobo journey where you sleep in rough places but have lifechanging experiences. He is absolutely in my eyes an American treasure.

"She comes back to tell me she's gone..." I can't get over the quality of that one line. It's 8 words, and it says so much! He's surprised, he's hurt, he has to get across how incredulous he is about this, so he phrases it as an irony, as a contradiction, something almost funny. And the way he sings it really conveys what a slope it is: from hope right down to despair. That is a sharp line, like a needle!

‘Losing love is like a window in your heart, everybody sees you’re blown apart, everybody sees the wind blow’ That’s it, that in a nutshell is the twist of emptiness you feel in your chest when it ends, perfect words to express that feeling

Graceland is one of the finest songs I've ever heard.

I was at Graceland in 1967 or so. 7-8yrs old. Drove up the driveway at Graceland with my uncle. We went right up to the front door. I was hoping Elvis was home. He was not. I was so disappointed. I'll always remember that time. Don't know what it is about that place, but I feel home there. Nobody will ever be Elvis, one of a kind, one of an era. I feel like I am transported back in time, to when I was a kid. Go there, you will know what I mean.

As a person who mostly listens to metal, hard rock, new wave this is possibly one of the greatest album of all time. Thanks mom for having great taste in music

Paul Simon in the mid-1980s could have easily packed it in. Great run as Simon and Garfunkel. Great solo career for the decade afterward. But no, he challenged himself, and the result was the stunning Graceland album, his finest. What a treasure!

That simile "Losing love is like a window in your heart" cuts deep. On the flip side, "There's a girl in New York City who calls herself the human trampoline" is a funny line. Just a great song!

Wrote the music, wrote the lyrics, played the music, sang the lyrics. In a very real sense the truly great musical talents like Paul Simon ARE music. Their combined influences steered the evolution of music through the decades to bring it to its present state. The likes of Elvis, Michael Jackson, Bob Dylan, Roy Orbison, Paul McCartney, to mention are some of the other members of that very elite group, I would say.

I've loved a lot of song but Graceland will stay my first luv I will be in Graceland 1 day When there's a will there's a way❤

My late mum use to Love this

The song refers to Graceland as a place with a geographic location, yet all the other lyrics indicate that Graceland is not a place in physical existence. Instead, it is the desired destination of outcasts, misfits; the downtrodden and brokenhearted; the hope, the immutable faith, that there is a refuge or solace from our obligation to justify ourselves in this free-fall called Life. Graceland...it must exist. It just has to. A place where there is a sense of homecoming, and the bread in the kitchen is always warm and tasty, somehow, as if it were freshly baked.

One of the most beautiful and lyrical explorations of kind of deep hurt that can only be healed by grace, that is, a force outside of human will. Despite its direct invocation of the Christian notion of grace, this song never explicitly endorses a religious perspective, instead meditating on the ache and desire for forgiveness from mistakes that we never quite shed. "Graceland" takes the cliche of midlife crisis and connects it to both deep spiritual mystery and mundane details. (The line "the way she brushed her hair from her forehead" lands as a keen observation of a longtime companion, and is echoed in Simon's eventual long-term wife's song, "Lost in the Moment"). A true masterpiece of Simon's poetry and musicality.

Brought up old memories of the late 80s. I was in Sri Lanka then. Moved to Canada in 1991. Heavenly.

South African musicians don't play minor chords, they wisely made an exception for Paul Simon .

Every now and again a piece of music comes along that truly blows you away, this was such a moment.

Exactly. I was blown away by the brilliance of this song. >>But I've reason to believe We both will be received In Graceland ... For reasons I cannot explain There's some part of me wants to see Graceland And I may be obliged to defend Every love, every ending Or maybe there's no obligations now Maybe I've a reason to believe We all will be received In Graceland

the national guitars are incredible !!!!!

Cool man cool ❤

This was another one of the songs that was on the heavy rotation of a heartbreak I went through a couple years ago "Losing love is like a window in your heart Everyone sees you're blown apart Everyone watches the wind blow"
