	America (Paul Simon song) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The song was released as a single in 1972, to coincide with the album Simon and Garfunkel's Greatest Hits, and eventually hit #97 on the Billboard Hot 100.
		Finally the realization dawns on the singer that, like El Dorado, the fabled America for which they are searching is an illusion, and all the travelers (and by extension all Americans) are seeking this mythical land in vain.
		The song was completely rearranged by the progressive rock band Yes in 1971.

	America ( Paul Simon ) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		Simon was managing to make a living out of his music and during 1965 he and Kathy undertook a cross-country holiday in the USA, which would later form the basis of the 1968 song 'America'.
		The song's climax sheds light on universal quest, but as in the final scene of The graduate, the individuals' inability to communicate is tragically apparent.
		The song's narrator is 'empty and aching' without knowing why; something has gone sourly wrong with himself and his country, and in a vision of a suburban Armageddon he imagines the New Jersey turnpike clogged with cars all keen to search for their own vision of an America that has gone, perhaps forever.

	The History of Rock Music. Paul Simon: biography, discography, reviews, links
		Simon & Garfunkel's songs had become famous thanks to their melodies, but, in reality, they parted from the rest of rock and folk music mainly because of the elegant, intricate and sophisticate sound that the duo crafted in the studio.
		Simon seems to wander in an imaginary past: the frantic cajun-bluegrass rigmarole of Gumboots, the Coasters-like sax-driven swirling novelty That Was Your Mother, the mournful vocal harmonies of Homeless, have the "feeling" of nostalgy, although their sound has never existed before.
		Simon's simple and naive spirit redeems the pagan, ritual, primitive nature of the rhythm, and views the universal message of the civilization that produced it with the eyes of a Christian prophet.

		For Simon, the 1990s were a time of continued experimentation, concentrating primarily on a major musical called "The Capeman".

	Paul Simon - The neck of my guitar -
		Paul’s passion for baseball and the New York Yankees was also thanks to his father.Paul has recounted many times the memory of he and Eddie playing pretend baseball in their bedroom, with sound effects and commentary by the boys themselves.
		Paul was singing along with a record one evening in his bedroom and as his father passed by the door he told Paul that he had a very nice voice.
		Paul was instantly attracted to her and he would eventually immortalize her in two songs; “Kathy’s Song” and “America.” Kathy was somewhat of a muse for Paul.

		The song is therefore another warning against turning inwards upon oneself, and as Simon performs it in the most matter of fact way, rather like a court official reading the most awful details in a clinical,-detached manner, the impact is the greater.
		The songs are certainly disturbing and Simon thinks that "a lot of the pain that comes in some of these songs is due to the exaggeration of being high." But more than drugs the songs stem from our over-crowded city lives and I think they accurately reflect it.
		Simon is still resting himself with the song, none of the complacency which is apparent in later versions is there (just listen to the way he attacks the penultimate verse "Fools, said I.

	Paul Simon in Relationships
		Paul Simon was born in Newark Heights, New Jersey in October, 1941.
		As the second song on Paul Simon's new album begins, he's walking along a riverbank, "locked in a struggle for the right combination of words in a melody line." The words on Surprise radiate with the grace, wit...
		Simon had gone to England after the initial failure of Wednesday Morning, 3 A.M., and there had pursued a solo career, releasing the album The Paul Simon Song Book in the United Kingdom in 1965, but he returned to the USA to reunite with Garfunkel after "The Sounds of Silence" began to enjoy commercial success.

	Simon and Garfunkel
		The duo was never a true rival to their British counterparts, the Beatles, but they still made a lot of memorable recordings and were a major force on both the singles and LP charts.
		Simon & Garfunkel tunes form a small minority - three tracks that also are covered on the earlier Central Park record, plus "Cecilia." The Simon solo tunes are predictable too, with many of them again appearing on the earlier record, and the rest being the better tracks from the last two studio albums.
		Simon sings tunes from his shortlived Broadway show about a real-life teenage murderer, from his childhood in Puerto Rico through the 1959 killings in Manhattan and his subsequent imprisonment.

	Mother And Child Reunion by Paul Simon Songfacts
		Simon wrote this after seeing a chicken and egg dish called "Mother and Child Reunion" on the menu at 456 Restaurant in Chinatown, New York.
		There were two songs that were played on a local Philadelphia rock station that well forever be imprinted in my mind.
		The lyrics talk about a "mournful" mother and child reunion; which I always assume comes about because the family members have had a dissagreement and fallen out, only to be re-united by the death of one of them (with feelings of regret).

		For Paul Simon, the strategy was simple--as in "Keep it simple." His 1972 solo debut is the bantam bookend to the expansive Bridge.
		This album represented Paul Simon's emancipation from the wearying exposure and constant pressures of fame as part of the Simon and Garfunkel phenomenon.
		Paul Simon was something of a surprise when it was released, and remains perhaps his best album, as it showed a level of musical diversity that probably few people thought him capable of.
