  When this song was at its height, my sister was 19 years old, dying from cancer. I was 17, and left school to spend a dreary winter with her in a Chicago hospital where they were doing experimental chemo. Late night, we'd order a pizza to be delivered to the ER in the basement, because nobody was allowed on the 8th floor cancer ward that late. We'd ride the elevator down and back, harmonizing this song together. She died too soon after that. I'm in my 70s now, but when I hear this song, I'm 17, in an elevator with great acoustics, holding a pizza, and singing my heart out with my best friend.

  This is the song that changed my whole life! &nbsp;I&apos;m Japanese and heard this song first when I was in high school. &nbsp; <br>I got so interested in the lyrics of this song and started to study English. &nbsp;Now I&apos;m over 60 and have been teaching how to speak English to Japanese for over 30 years. &nbsp;Thank you S&amp;G. &nbsp;You are my eternal heroes!!!

  They didn&apos;t have autotune, fireworks, colorful shows or strange outfits. All they had and all they needed was their incredible voices and a guitar. So simple but still or so perfect, or maybe the simplicity of it is what made it so perfect.

  Art Garfunkel...lots of people consider him to be one of the most under-rated singers of all time. &nbsp;<br><br>Not me. &nbsp;Just listen to that voice.<br>Give a THUMBS UP if you agree.<br>Thanks for posting.

  I am 69 years old. My generation was truly blessed to have grown up with this music. Whether it was folk, or rock or motown; many of the songs and lyrics reflected what was going on in the world at the time. You could understand the words being sung; and the music was beautiful!

  I&apos;m unemployed and stuck in every aspect of my life. I feel lonely, and instead of moving forward, I am moving backward—everything has come to a standstill. I also suffer from overthinking.<br>However, when I watch this show and hear those sweet voices, I feel a sense of comfort and reassurance, and my mind finally stops overthinking. I simply enjoy every word of the song. I hope tomorrow brings better days.<br>Thank you from Morocco.❤❤❤
