Paul Simon - Blog Posts
(from the Paul Simon TV special, 1977)
Home, home
Sun on my doorstep
Shocks me to find
I'm a child again еntwined
In your love, in your light
In your cool summer shade
—————————————
But I love to watch you walk across my doorway
I cannot be held accountable for the things I do or say
I’m just jittery
I’m just jittery
It’s just a way of dealing with my joy
It’s just a way of dealing with my joy
Just a way of dealing with my joy
Love Is Like A Braid - 2023
Stranger to Stranger - 2016
Paul is, to this day, a houseplant king 🙏🪴
Okay listen to this audio then watch the Kraft Music hall performance of this song… https://youtu.be/-HQ2j-SGBZk?si=_RtpW_FhoziBVTBm
Can you imagine us years from today
Sharing a park bench quietly
How terribly strange to be seventy
Old friends
Memory brushes the same years
Silently sharing the same fears

Stranger to stranger
If we met for the first time, this time
Could you imagine us
Falling in love again?
Still believing that love endures
All the carnage and useless detours
Oh I love you, I love you, I love you…
Old Friends - 1968
Stranger to Stranger - 2016
Okay, can we please talk about how Song for the asking is literally written almost like a desperate love confession? It’s killing me like “Take it, don't turn away I've been waiting all my life” oh go to jail Paul Simon.
(Also, a bonus - this is a clip from the harmony game documentary where Paul and Art talk about this song. We’ve probably all seen it a million times but it never gets old 🤕)
Paul and Artie looking at each other and smiling on stage
Went for an eye test today and they found a small image of American singer-songwriter Paul Simon burned permanently into my retinas in the same way images get permanently burned into old TV's when you have the one thing on screen for too long.
that’s exactly what is going on here
