Still crazy after all these years
Oh, still crazy after all these years
#PaulSimon #StillCrazyAfterAllTheseYears #OfficialAudio - Hudba
In Memory of my husband;Happy Fathers Day Buddy Howard;Im still the same crazy girl youve loved for 43 years!missing you Baby
Faye Howard ..... Beautiful 🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻
Right on, Faye Howard
indeed, right on Faye:)
Big hugs to you from Texas!
Sending lots of love to you sister. Sorry for your loss honey.❤
Man this is one of the best of all time!!!!! Still crazy in 2024 at 46. Still think im 18 inside.
70 and crazy enough to think I’m 8 years old ! I will never stop playing just to watch 🎇
I am 63.... 😂
I met my old lover
On the street last night
She seemed so glad to see me
I just smiled
And we talked about some old times
And we drank ourselves some beers
Still crazy after all these years
Still crazy after all these years
I'm not the kind of man
Who tends to socialize
I seem to lean on
Old familiar ways
And I ain't no fool for love songs
That whisper in my ears
Still crazy after all these years
Still crazy after all these years
Four in the morning
Crapped out
Yawning
Longing my life away
I'll never worry
Why should I?
It's all gonna fade
Now I sit by my window
And I watch the cars
I fear I'll do some damage
One fine day
But I would not be convicted
By a jury of my peers
Still crazy after all these years
Still crazy
Still crazy
Still crazy after all these years
Heard this on curb your enthusiasm fell in love with it
exactly!
me too, and already wondering just how many people got here because of Curb
A genius song on a genius show!
Same
That's why I'm here
"I never worry. Why should I? Its all gonna fade." Timeless.
That was exactly the line I came here to hear.
Truth triumphs.
For some reason that line rings true with every passing year.
❤
That sax has to be Michael Brecker.
This might just be Paul Simon's best song, and he wrote more than a few good ones.
The chord changes and modulations in this song are magical.
Yup. Loneliness 💔🥺
It's a beautiful and sad song.
TRUEEEEEEE!!!!!
It has a nice Gospel cadence in the Chorus and then the Jazz influenced break.
Exactly I have an orgasm everytime i listen to thee harmony progression at 1:57
@@ReiTulius I love 1:26. Also, 2:51.
Still beautiful after all these years!
As a man of 45 who thinks he's still 18. Rings true this song.
What I appreciate about Paul's songs is that each one is literally a story. Each nuance he utilizes in every song, instruments, lyrics, vocals, it's really something.
TRUE THAT
Yes. He's an old-fashioned minstrel. Beautiful.
Marvin Gaye said this song is the soundtrack to his life
Spot on my brother.
One of the most meaningful and sentimental songs ever written.
It's not the singing, or the orchestration , or the sax , it's the perfect combination of tone and irony, a song for the ages, never gets old! We love you Paul Simon for the soundtrack of our lives 😋😋😋
That's all Paul and the mighty MUSCLE SHOALS RHYTHM SECTION! Paul even took Muscle Shoals guitar Wizz, PETE CARR TO NEW YORK TO PLAY IN THE CENTRAL PARK GET TOGETHER OF A MILION PEOPLE.
Brilliant isn't it? Wow..
Yes. That.
Beautifully said.
Who would have thought we'd be in 2023, 1975 seems like yesterday!😥
Too all those amazing days we thought would last forever!💕
Oh yeah, you know it!😊
Amen, Brother.
Oh YES! WE Boomers STILL HAVE GOT IT! NO GENERATION WAS EVER SO VIBRANT, SO ENERGETIC, SO FULL OF LIFE and DREAMS!
Let their generation hate us for what we are. Oh how they slam us constantly with their HATE and call us the worst names they can think up.
Only...because they're
empty, lifeless, bland and boring.
They choose to be put out, pissy, and angry. What a waste!
Now they can't pull out of what "they" put themselves into.
They CHOSE Victimhood!
Their self destructive hate will forever be their hallmark.
They're spoiled and jealous!
Shame on them!
GENIUS
This song describes how I feel still at 74 and it feels great
I find this to be a completely heartbreaking song. Brings me to tears every time I hear it.
No one does melancholy like Paul Simon!!!
Because you're not crazy. It's something else. If you were crazy, you wouldn't care.
@Subtle B3ast love this song but I'm with Arthur. It's a disturbing song
Me too darlin,without fail.. So many years..hard to look back,hurts like hell. Irresistibly beautiful,though.💔
Me too
Michael brecker on sax with an Iconic solo
I first heard this song at 12, played to me from my dad via a cassette player after we'd moved across the globe. There are few times when you look up, listen to the silence of your own father listening to a track, them feeling those pangs of regret for having shown you, and having felt the weight of each word. Lyric after lyric, sang as if on a recorder on repeat in that man's mind, his whole life turned around having moved across the globe, bringing his family with him. Sometimes you get a real window into someone's soul and this was it, for me, for my dad, at the tender age of 11 or 12. I can't say what it fully meant to him, being kind, but I can understand why he was hesitant to show me it after a boozy port evening, and why it's stuck with me for so long
I liked reading that. A sad old man who enjoys recalling playing this song liked what you wrote. "Born unloved", life ruined "on purpose" by my family and my friends, I deserve to still be crazy after all these years. Yet, here I still am. "Maine" says "hello". Happy Earth Day tomorrow. I "celebrated" by removing 5 gallon buckets worth of plastic scraps from our Back Cove. Many people stopped on the walking trail to say "Thank you for doing that" to me. That left me happy. I was expecting to hear "The Sound of Silence"(another great Paul Simon song I grew up with. They didn't have to take the time to do what they did, and my efforts don't feel unappreciated one bit now.
No matter what we say, or the likes we vote… nothing nothing prepares you for the evanescent beauty of this song.
Takes my breath away… yes, after all these years.
THANK YOU LARRY DAVID🙌🏻
One of the most soulful sax solos in existence.
+Patti Geiger saw it live..one of the Brecker brothers and he brought the house down.
Beauty of Michael Brecker. The man could play some of the hardest lines. But at the same time, he could also play stuff super melodically and with such a passion. I have a huge amount of respect for him, what a musician he truely was...
@@tylerpauletti4265 you got that right
@@rightchordleadership Chills
Can tear you up.
I never worry, why should I? It's all going to fade 🎶
yup
he's one of those artists who make the best use of world-class musicians.
because he is one....
Undoubtedly
Yeah I love P.S. but to your point. He picked Steve Gadd to play drums in central park. Steve Gadd is the best session drummer, hell he's the best drummer around. It's a sign of respect that he came away from his other work to drum live with Paul.
@@chuckgreenfield4484 That's because Paul had Steve's baby locked in a drawer somewhere
This will still be played on the radio one million years from now.
+illustrate100 Bold prediction.
Surely by then we will have evolved into seal like creatures who catch fish and are just happy.
@@9ZenMedia hahahaaaa awesome
well they dont play it now.......so....
Well, actually, there will be no "radio" in 1 million years, as we'll as a species will be LONG gone, but I get what you're saying.
Seul Paul Simon sait arranger différents sons musiquaux du monde et en faire toujours un succès 👍👏❤❤❤❤❤❤
Paul Simon can tell a great story and write some of the most beautiful songs ever
Americans need a narrative in their songs. It's a throwback to cowboy/country and the blues.
@@blackbird5634 I love Donovan and I was born here in the states. If you find the version of his song played on the movie "Rules of Attraction" that would be awesome. I saw him with Arlo Guthrie on the banjo, so may have been a rendition of that. You'd have to see the movie to know what I'm talking about
I just never get tired of this wonderful song - after all these years. Bravo Paul!
what a great song after all these years...................................
The sound of the Fender Rhodes piano on this song just washes over you like the most beautiful of waves! Such a masterpiece.
The Fender Rhodes sound was everywhere in the 1970’s but then it seemed to just disappear from the soundscape. Like you, I love their sound and I miss hearing them except for these old gems from the 70’s.
I listened to this album for two years steady, sometime in the seventies when I was going through some very tough times in my life. I had this on an eight-track tape cartridge. Every time I got into my car I would play this from beginning to end. 😜🍾🥂☮
And now you are ok and through the tough times? Mad how decades pass and people change. You've a story to tell 👌
Best wishes brother.
I loved this song as a kid in the 70s...now I'm an old fart but I can appreciate Paul's lyrics even more now😄
Like so many Paul Simon pieces, this is an absolute master class in songwriting. Takes my breath away!
Paul simon and the Muscle Shoals Rhythm section, a match made in Heaven!
The orchestral arrangements are flawless. And the sax too.
Paul Simon brought me here
LOL
PERFECT comment!!!!
Dude
Same
Garfunkel brought me here
That electric piano grabs you right from the start .... great song...
Yeah and sadly
The jazzy piano throughout, the soulful sax solo and Paul's storytelling voice this song is a classic and one of the best songs ever written .
One of the first albums I bought while in high school. Played it in my bedroom on a BSR turn table with a Fisher reciever and speakers after school while laying on my single bed in dark navy corduroy bell bottoms with wide big buckled belt and white cotton big collared shirt after taking off my side zip brown boots with the high big heals...and fall asleep when the album was over. I was always very sleepy after school in my teens.
😌Huh, such good memories.
I'm Still Crazy After All These Years and I would go back to those days in a flash.
Something about this song always gets me. Its like an old friend you visit every few years. A true classic.
You sure are right!
Thank's Paul Simon for your music of the days gone by.Your music of my younger days is still Beautiful.Thank you Cheri Johnson that worked at May Co. at the Tyler Mall in Riverside Calif in 75,76.
Music the way it should be!!!
It will never ever be this good again sadly.. Grateful to God I was there.. I wouldn't trade one single solitary second of the greatest time in history,the 70s. We had the last of the best that was ever to be.. Feel so sorry for the folks today ,the quality of popular music is so low now it's ludicrous. This song tears me apart ,it so succinctly tells the pain we've all felt of lost love,lost time.
Cynthia Martin You are sooooooo, right. There is no other music like our music. So happy 😀 we have it.
So true! Had this album maný years ago! Love Paul simon
The song becomes more relevant as one gets older. This song describes me in some ways. Songs sing of your life. You only have to listen to the words to learn your future.
Love the Sax in the middle.....
This music is for people present in life.
I'm checked out and listening.
I get goosebumps at the sax solo. Oh What magnificent chord changes here. Paul’s’ a master story teller and musician. Thx
In my mind this is a perfect song. Flawless.
"And we talked about some old times, and we drank ourselves some beers" My God its feels alive when I hear this... Complete mastery of storytelling put to a beautiful voice and music. Unique experience.
Listen to 99% of the music on the radio these days (2022), then listen to this masterpiece. Some songs that last three and half minutes seem to last seven minutes, this seems to last only about a minute it's so beautiful.
During this ongoing pandemic, I'm still listening to this classic after all these years.
Loving Barry Beckett’s keyboard on this track. Just perfect to accompany Paul Simon’s soft vocal.
that sneaky modulation in the final chorus. you genius you
If there was a Pulitzer Prize for song this definitely would win. Why?? Because of the depth and the varied plethora of facets that’s performed with such old country simplicity, then again that’s Paul Simon.
One of the greatest American songwriters.
Still listening after all these years
2018
Still listening in 2020
Still a beautiful song after all these years.
How this song can mean so much to me after 46 years is so precious and amazing...
" im not the type of man who tends to socialize- i tend to lean on old familiar ways". me then me now
yes
Seem
You must hate Bernie Sanders because he's a socialist.
True words spoken.
Seem
Such a beautiful song.11/23/22 Saturday Night Live throwback brought me here.This song is very nostalgic.I remember hearing this as a elementary aged kids.I haven't heard it in years.Thanks for posting👌🥰
I saw this song mentioned in my favourite manga and I'm glad I searched it, it's magnificent.
Given? I'm here for the same reason.
@@user-iv2lo1gm7e yup☺️
Same reason!
Yay I found my people 🎉
Hadn't heard this one in a while. Wow. Just fantastic songwriting - really at the very top. Singing, arranging, the playing, the production values - all near perfect. It really doesn't get much better than this. Timeless.
When you look up genius in the dictionary, Paul Simon's picture will be there.
+tommybass40 he is a talented guy
The sax solo that starts around @2:10 is maybe the most soulful thing I've ever heard.
The late, great Michael Brecker.
Yeah mellow lilting sax like this just soothes your soul
2020 and as I look back on my life and the songs and artist that stayed in my head keeping me alive - Paul Simon could possibly have the most songs on that list. I wish I could thank him for sharing his craft.
One of the most soulful sax solos in existence.
Paul Simon can tell a great story and write some of the most beautiful songs ever
Phil Woods played the Alto Sax solo.
@@pfaessel1 No, son, incorrect. But thanks for trying. Michael Brecker played the sax break on this song. Phil Woods played on Have a Good Time
Bought this album used at the record store today. small things make a difference, small things like this make my week.
Eric I had the exact same experience...
Beautiful!
Born in the 50's. Still crazy!
Such a beautiful song, I wish he'd recorded it solo with his acoustic however, like he used to play it live before this record came out. It still came out beautifully, I just wish his acoustic version received a studio recording too.
One of my Dad's favorite songs. Its been 11 years today RIP.
It just doesn't get any better than this!!! The best ever!!!
my high school girlfriend gave me this album, it was and still is a staple on my play list.this song especially! the sax just sends me back into her arms.And of course, I'm still crazy after all these YEARS!
Still get chills. Such an amazing album.
Thank you Paul Simon. U da man! 💜
Such a beautiful song. Beautiful arrangement also.
I'm forgetting about the sentiment here of aging without changing much (at least on the inside). Just from the sake of construction, harmony, melody, lyrics, and phrasing, this is one of the greatest songs from the pop age. If it's not recognized as such it's because it's so subtle and low key. The chord changes and modulations here are worthy of a serious composer. (I'm talking about a genre, not dissing Paul Simon as a composer -- it's silly to call them classical music composers as the classical period ended like 200 years ago). Just a great song. I don't think Lennon and McCartney ever wrote a song this musical or poignant (and I love their songs). Forget the Brill Building songwriters or Burt Bacharach. This is a great, great song. Oh... and the sentiment, which I'm forgetting about here, is as touching as "Old Friends" one that's been kicking my ass this month as I turned 70. "How terribly strange to be seventy..." How Simon could have written that song at 25 is unbelievable to me. The guy is a god.
I was thinking the same thing,as regards Old Friends.I'm 70 in March next year.I have always loved I am a Rock,A Most Peculier Man,Richard Cory,all similar songs about the darker side that most people(except Morrissey ex Smiths,with Asleep) leave alone.I agree,Paul Simon is a legend.
Gotta say I agree, I also think that the Stones have many, many more poignant songs and moving songs than the Beatles - love em, but they often sound like exercises in being clever.
@@MrBirchmoor33 Add "My Little Town" to the edgy, dark category.
Yes it's an incredible song, even for Paul Simon's standard. Stevie Wonder can pull off this kind of harmony in a pop song, while being at the same time very memorable and perfectly singable like a pop song should be. The Beatles are quite different, they had endless creativity, great melodies, but a more limited knowledge of harmony (which didn't hurt their songs at all).
Happy Birthday 🎂
Ohhhhhhhh so very beautiful!
I love this song. A classic.
I fell in love with this song the very first time I heard it❤
Thank you Paul. Nothing like sharing a moment with an old song.
Gorgeous song...
Love, love, love this man! He is the epitome of originality! Spread the wisdom of your thoughts to us all ! 🥰
Paul Simon at his peak.
With you Stephen.I have most of Pauls albums but he peaked at this one in my opinion.Hey but one the greatest no doubt.
Such beauty can only come from care and love ❤ saxophone 🎷 carries me beyond tears 😢 for my long gone loves and friends ❤but then the lovely happy times i had with all those people who passed on
And the tears turn to happy ones ✌❤🎵
Magical
When I saw PS in concert many years ago, I waited until the ENCORE to hear my favorite song. Love this song.
One of Paul Simon's hit songs that came out in 1975-the year I was born : ) always have loved this one "Still Crazy After All These Years" thanks : )
Awesome : )
my year too!
Dannie C Awesome!
One of the most relaxing songs that I know of to listen to!
Paul Simon you get me through the best of times and the bad,too.To say I am grateful to this man for his life changing music,is an epic understatement. I love it through and through. La musica de mi corazon❤
Paul Simon is magical💕💕💕💕💕💕💕
I love this song. One of my top 10 to be played when I die.
What are the other 9?
This, Tupac- Cant C Me, Guy- Teddys Jam 2 Remix, Low Roar- I'll keep coming and Rainbow brite-Brand New Day are definitely on mine...and put me in the ground to Adam Raised a Cain.
PERFECT PRODUCTION
I will always remember Paul Simon signing this on Saturday Night Live wearing a turkey suit, it was a fine costume. It was near Thanksgiving as I remember it. I have no idea if the link is on CZcams but it was amazing. BTW I love the song and the arrangement is flawless.
roy gunter you can watch him sing it on fire stick on snl season 1 episode 2
I remember that SNL too. I thought it was a chicken suit which is why I laughed so much. Are you sure it was a turkey suit? I guess it’s the same thing right ??
ME TOO!!😄😂😄😂
@@dxx7570 Definitely turkey.
@@premanadi correct. That was a Turkey suit he wore on that episode of SNL before Thanksgiving of 1976
Fantastic song flawless!!!
Paul Simon really has away of touching hearts thru his music as he definitely touched mine although I was quite young when all these beautiful songs had been released , Just sitting back and listening to his lyrics is kind of like a poetic experience along with his guitar playing , Words and music that fit perfectly together. I've always enjoyed these songs and songs written by other artist from the 70s as My Mom and my older brothers would play this on the turntable, There was nothing like having a Beautiful fire going in my mom's fireplace in the house where I grew up , And just taking this music in , Truly some of the more peaceful times I've ever known. Thank You Paul Simon for contributing to the Soundtrack of the more peaceful times in my life .
This might be the song of my life.
Time passes, moments fade. Beautifully rendered...
But also the sad times what you can hear through the song.
Love this song
A true classic !! 😁👍
I love this song; he is a musical genius.
