Скачать или смотреть America - Simon & Garfunkel Cover

#paulsimon #simonandgarfunkel #america


Paul Simon has written too many good songs to count, but America, off of the Simon & Garfunkel album Bookends, is one of my absolute favorites.

It has a cinematic feel to it's story telling ("And the moon rose over an open field")

The orchestration is majestic and dynamic (Those drums?? That bass playing?? The french horn?? So good).

It's hopeful and forlorn ("I'm empty and aching and I don't know why" contrasts beautifully with the undulating "All come to look for America")

Listening to Garfunkels harmonies is a masterclass. Where other singers might just follow the melody line in thirds, he skips and jumps around and always finds the more interesting part.


This song was definitely a challenge to cover, but I gave it my best shot. Hope you enjoy. -Adam
