It's old and well known, but I can think of no better response to tears...
"The 59th Street Bridge Song (Feelin' Groovy)" is a song by #folkRock duo #SimonAndGarfunkel, written by #PaulSimon and originally released on their 1966 album #ParsleySageRosemaryAndThyme. #CashBox called it a "sparkling, spirited lid". The song is named for the #QueensboroBridge which spans the #EastRiver between the #NewYorkCity boroughs of #Manhattan and Queens.

I don't recall buying this 1968 album, and it must have been part of Mrs H's collection. It was the duo's breakthrough album in the UK, and contains the well known numbers America and Mrs Robinson, and the fascinating "Voices of Old People", recordings by Garfunkel of residents of old people's homes.
Listening to this milestone of an album and thinking about a different America in a different time.

#KleeBenally's moving cover of #SimonAndGarfunkel's "The Sound of Silence"
"Hello, darkness, my old friend
I've come to talk with you again
Because a vision softly creeping
Left its seed while I was sleeping
And the vision that was planted in my brain
Still remains
Within the sound of silence
In restless dreams, I walk alone
Narrow streets of cobblestone
'Neath the halo of a street lamp
I turned my collar to the cold and damp
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light
That split the night
And touched the sound of silence
And in the naked light, I saw
Ten thousand people, maybe more
People talking without speaking
People hearing without listening
People writing songs that voices never share
And no one dare
Disturb the sound of silence
'Fools,' said I, 'You do not know
Silence, like a cancer, grows
Hear my words that I might teach you
Take my arms that I might reach you'
But my words, like silent raindrops, fell
And echoed in the wells of silence
And the people bowed and prayed
To the neon god they made
And the sign flashed out its warning
In the words that it was forming
And the sign said, 'The words of the prophets are written on the subway walls
And tenement halls
And whispered in the sound of silence."
- Paul Simon, 1964 (modified by Klee)

"Fools, " said I, "You do not know
Silence, like a cancer, grows
Hear my words that I might teach you
Take my arms that I might reach you"
But my words, like silent raindrops fell
And echoed in the wells, of silence

I finally found the time to practice a lot and the resolve to film this.
I don't know a soul who's not been battered.
I don't have a friend who feels at ease…

I'm amazed I've got in first with this one. I have issues with Paul Simon which I'm sure I'll get around to talking about one day, and I'm sure the metaphors in the song are going over my British head. But it's a fun bit of jangly pop.
