I love Simon and Garfunkel. Love the harmony. This was one of the first songs I remember liking when young and asking questions about - the others being Bohemian Rhapsody and The Carpenters - Calling Occupants. I used to ask my dad about the lyrics. I guess I was quite a morbid child. I sensed the sadness in this song as a child and it's stood up as I have gotten older. I think lyrically this is a stunning song.

Well, you can imagine what someone going through what I was going through as a teen made of a lyric like:

'Hello darkness my old friend,
I've come to talk with you again'

I don't think those two ever produced a bad song.
