I was a few months old when this song came out, more than 40 years ago. I remember my parents playing the record quite often. It was one of the first songs in English I learned, although for a long time most of the meaning was well beyond my second language knowledge of English. Still, it is one of those long-time companions and surely belongs to my life's soundtrack. So, there is a good chance with your baby-girl... |

Recently enjoyed watching again Paul Simon perform this song on the SNL 2000's Special, when he was on after 9/11. Very moving.

Is that a didgeridoo in the left speaker in the beginning?
