Concert in Central Park Sony このアイテムの詳細を見る

ジョンレノンがＮＹのアパート前で撃たれた翌年、１９８１年の９月１９日セントラルパークは雨模様、公園緑化チャリティコンサートに５０万人がつめかけた。デュオは’７０に解散したから１１年ぶり、サイモンとガーファンクルはこのとき１９曲を歌った。このアルバムを聴きながら、またいっしょにやらないものかと思ったがふたりの歩む道は異なった．．．

２００１年９月１１日ツインタワーは崩壊。コンサートからいろいろあった２０数年後の２００５年ふたりはテレビに出てなつかしいBoxerを歌ってくれた。近年また一緒にやっているといううれしい出来事。．．．Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme,　Remember me to one who lives there,　For she once was a true love of mine.．．．Cecilia．．．
Ｓ＆Ｇよ、新しいのやってよ、4decades、思い出というのはちょっと苦手に．．．でも一番輝いていたとき、大事にするのもいいのじゃないかと思い直した。


I am just a poor boy though my story's seldom told
I have squandered my resistance for a pocketful of mumbles, such are promises.
All lies and jest, still a man hears what he wants to hear
And disregards the rest, hmmmm

When I left my home and my family, I's no more than a boy
In the company of strangers
In the quiet of the railway station, runnin' scared, laying low,
Seeking out the poorer quarters, where the ragged people go,
Looking for the places only they would know.

Li la li...

Asking only workman's wages, I come lookin' for a job,
But I get no offers,
Just a come-on from the whores on 7th Avenue.
I do declare, there were times when I was so lonesome
I took some comfort there.

La la la...

now the years are rolling by me, they are -[rockin evenly]-
I am older than I once was
and younger than i'll be that's not unusual.
no it isn't strange after changes upon changes we are more or less the same
after changes we are more or less the same

Li la li...


And I'm laying out my winter clothes and wishing I was gone,
goin' home
Where the New York City winters aren't bleedin' me, leadin' me,
goin' home.

In the clearing stands a boxer, and a fighter by his trade
And he carries the reminders of every glove that laid him down or cut him
'Til he cried out in his anger and his shame
I am leaving, I am leaving, but the fighter still remains.


Li la li...
