Real question, what song is that at the end?

My friends from my childhood are most in our 70’s now. As bad as Covid was it brought us back together via text messaging. We talk about our memories and Simon and Garfunkel were a big part of my difficult teen years.

I’ll be 67 in a couple of months. I used to think about my two oldest friends whenever I’d listen to this song, and could picture myself with one or the other of the two of them on that park bench, in our overcoats reminiscing about the fifty years past. They’re both gone now, and the line that still makes me weep for them remains, “Preserve your memories, they’re all that’s left you.” How could I have seen how those words would have come to fruition when we were listening to this at the tender age of 15? Kevin and Marc, I miss you both more than you could ever know, my Brothers. Rest Easy.

What a wonderful songsmith that Paul Simon is and their two voices are just in perfect harmony together. This song will be in the American song book for years to come ! Greatly appreciate this 🙏 post.

An utterly heartbreaking song

hello fellow american mothertongue: is the phrase "They're all that's left you" correct? I am italian and have problem grasping. Is the verb "leave" is transitive in this context? is it a wordplay?

I much prefer this version of the song over the album version with all of that symphonic instrumentation. It's a beautifully delicate song that requires nothing more than two voices and a guitar. Melancholic beauty at its finest.

70 today.Long ago, it must be...

I’m 21 and have been listening to this since I was 15. I am positive I will one day blink and be 70. Life is fleeting.

I had no idea who Simon and Garfunkel were until my ex introduced me to them and I didn't get hooked then, (I can't believe why and how). but after we parted ways I realized what I had missed all my life. I want to forget her so bad yet every time I listen to S&G, I miss her even more and its impossible for me to not to listen to them. What a predicament!

For Elvira, R I P, and thank you, for the sunshine that you were,

Chef d'oeuvre de mélancolie . Masterpiece .Capolavoro .

I'm 58's now. I miss SAG still.

Both of them are turning 80 this year. How terribly strange.

my boys. covid listening. hard days/

Their greatest song imo. Beautiful...miss you Dad.

so beautiful..touches the heart

this is gold.

Honest the only true friends I ever had were all those from my school years because we had so many things in common and were innocent. I no longer have true friends most are fake, so as i have gotten older I have God he has never once backstabbed me or taken advantage, he only gives and gives.

One sad but wonderful song .....I Cry Every time I hear it .....Old friends

As the bodys stack like cordwood in nursing homes, this song should be played everyday.

this is better than the version with an orchestra

My best old friend passed late dec 92,.jus 37,,..i b 64 soon, still listen n miss him much....... .so much music

Song beautiful ♥️♥️♥️♥️👏👏👏👏

Great piece........after all these years!

“silently sharing the same FEAR...” I used to sing this song to my two boys (older dogs) when I wanted to appreciate their short time on earth, but I was silently fearing their mortality, that one fear S&G sing about. I saw them as two older men, as old friends, growing up and older together. sadly, they are now both gone and I listen to this beautiful version and remember that one fear, but mostly the good memories I had with them...I miss them terribly. “preserve your memories, there all that’s left you”

nod should be given to Howard Hanson and his Variations on a Theme of Youth for the hook.

Death is a friend my lads now to these echoes always; and ever no sever can cease to make it always a constant re-birth.

I am in my mid-teens now but in a jiffy I will be 70. I dread of that time.

C ma préféré de Simon et Garfunkel tant de souvenirs

i was 7 when this came out and for years i had no fucking idea what this sudsy, folksy tune referred to. decades later i would experience loss of long-time stable friends..everyone in my life and i knew EXACTLY what Simon was writing about.

They don't make 'm like this anymore.

Going to have to soon say goodbye to my precious little 15 year old cat - I play this song when I have to say goodbye to all the ones that have graced me with their presence and this song just nails it. Thanks Simon and Garfunkel

I remember watching this live on TV when I was a teenager. I believe it was SNL if I’m correct. My favorite S&G song. Tear up every time I play it. Makes me think of my own mortality. Great lyrics by the great Paul Simon.

These guys are pushing 80 now.

Hyde Park, London July 2018 - Paul walked out onto the Oak Stage and said 'Hello Old Friends'. Too Much!!
