Lyrics:
"Let us be lovers, we'll marry our fortunes together"
"I've got some real estate here in my bag"
So we bought a pack of cigarettes and Mrs. Wagner pies
And walked off to look for America
"Kathy," I said as we boarded a Greyhound in Pittsburgh
"Michigan seems like a dream to me now"
It took me four days to hitchhike from Saginaw
I've gone to look for America
Laughing on the bus
Playing games with the faces
She said the man in the gabardine suit was a spy
I said "Be careful his bowtie is really a camera"
"Toss me a cigarette, I think there's one in my raincoat"
"We smoked the last one an hour ago"
So I looked at the scenery, she read her magazine
And the moon rose over an open field
"Kathy, I'm lost," I said, though I knew she was sleeping
I'm empty and aching and I don't know why
Counting the cars on the New Jersey Turnpike
They've all come to look for America
All come to look for America
All come to look for America
#SimonAndGarfunkel #America #TheConcertInCentralPark

    "Kathy, I'm lost, I said though I knew she was sleeping. I'm empty and I'm aching and I don't know why." A concise expression of melancholia.

    Just played this over and over and an unexpected hospital stay for covid. Otherworldly, hugely moving.. I was born in '61. My brother, 5 years ahead and leagues ahead in music, played everything downstairs... 'All Along the Watchtower.." Later the impossibly good rocking, famous as ever.. Skynyrd's 'Free Bird'... now I digress. Something in "America landed as deep as a diving bell. We must keep searching.... and drown out the players and the losers and the fake political games.. Wherever you on, literally or figuratively, hop on that bus. We'll never know unless we try....!!

    I’m from England and once travelled in a Jeep with work solo from Seattle, through Oregon down to the Californian coast to San Francisco. I was loving the coastal views along the way with sun kissed wild prehistoric looking beaches. Then this song came on the radio and it just made the trip so moving. When Guy Clarke came on the radio singing the Randall Knife I thought I was in some movie dream but it was reality. Such pure American road trip sounds. Magical. Timeless. A few years ago now, the world was a different optimistic place back then. Full of wonder.

This live concert i can remember my dad had playing on a cassette player in his 505 Peugeot when I was 6, on a rainy day driving in Cape Town, South Africa.

Everyone brought blankets, some brought wine or other booze as well as having weed wafting through the air. It was such a mellow and enjoyable concert. Everyone was polite and no fights at all. I am one of six siblings and I'm the second to youngest so when I was probably 6 or 7 I was listening to my eldest sisters play their records on the stereo. I think that was even before cassettes.

    David Mitchell I think the right and true way to say it is this ..." Art Garfunkel is a genius in harmonization and has a voice who can only give life and so much soul to the song written by Paul Simon!" The singer and his brilliant voice is the only reason why a song is being greatly appreciated and loved by the hearing audience. No matter how great a song was being written if it's not sang by a singer who can truly give justice to the song (angelic, soulful voice that's so brilliant combined with great harmonization- on duet) it's nothing and it's not being well recognized or appreciated- it would never become a hit! It will just be a well written lyrics.

    Jr Dier . Perhaps a certain Mr Bob Dylan would disagree that it needs a great singer with a brilliant voice to make a song a hit.

    I rode a Greyhound in 1997 from Washington, DC to Missoula, MT...and, as trite as it may seem...the journey was the most meaningful part of it all. I met interesting people all along the way. A young school teacher from Minnesota whose car had broken down. She was riding the Greyhound back home. A rancher from Ekalaka, MT who told me...look on the bus here...these are the real Americans...not the politicians in Washington. America is not Left or Right, Black or White. America is each one of us finding the best in ourselves and doing what we can, while we are alive, to make this place a better place. America is not The News, telling us what we feel...but ourselves, using our innate intelligence, to determine what WE feel. And acting according to the dictates of our individual consciences.

    Arguably Paul Simon's best song. The meaning is so much more than a trip across this country. It is a hunt for the true America--one that in these present days, is perhaps little more than a dream. But those of who understand what the true America really is will forever fight for a country that is a far cry from those who have little idea of what this country truly means.

This song was the soundtrack in my head the whole way. I can’t hear it without thinking of the America I saw. I finished the ride and knew exactly what to do next. The ride, and this song, were transformative.

    They had a way of articulating intangible moods and emotions. With this song in particular the melody fits the lyrics so perfectly that the emotions and visual images are felt and seen vividly, like watching a movie that you are a part of. You smell the cigarette smoke, you feel Kathy sleeping on your shoulder while you look out at the window at the passing scenery. Paul Simon even uses literary devices to enrich the lyrics, like his use of assonance in "The moon rose over the open hill." The combination of Paul's evocative lyrics, Art's angelic voice, and their beautiful harmony are what made them the dream team they were back in the '60s.
