Woooof, grated, honestly the end of that was a real relief. Please enlighten if have missed something REALLY subtle. Finding it very hard to believe Paul Simon "made" that. Perhaps at gunpoint, hence the frenetic quality. :)

 
Usually I like this song but it was definitely PSD material today.

Don't I know you from the cinematographer's party?

Bonus points, surely, for using the word "cinematographer" in a song. I think it's one of those one off lyrical mentions - like "Belsize Park" in Kayleigh.

If anyone else can name a song that mentions either cinematography or Belsize Park or both in a lyric, I'd be happy to hear about it. 
 
Actually there is a song by Palace Brothers (aka Will Oldham) called "I am a cinematographer" which mentions that one a lot. There is also a version of that song on the Bonnie Prince Billy (aka Will Oldham) album Sings greates Palace Music.

Actually, bindi's right. It sounds like the woman's singing while juggling hot coals.

Generally like this album, but the background singers on this song are hard to listen to.

Paul Simon, you would think he was African. Seems to have lost the ability to write a song that does not plagiarise the African continent.

Great song....but the backup vocals absolutely kill it.  Those high notes are completely unnecessary; they contribute nothing to the harmonies.  Would probably be tolerable if they were lower in the mix (much lower).
