I'm with @mikethebeginner. If I had to pick one Paul Simon song, this would be the one. Apart from the fact that it's one of his most accessible, being recognisably about his relationship with the much missed Carrie Fisher, I just love the layered guitars, right down to the big bass guitarron. It sounds so simple until you actually start to unpack it. This is as good an example as you can get of why this man will endure when other artists have been forgotten.

This is one of the first albums that was recorded all digitally. Digital gets a bad rap sonically but Hearts and Bones sounds great. Also Hearts and Bones often gets overlooked in the shadow of the following Graceland but I always loved it.

Same, man. I love the line, "Thinking back to the season before. Looking back through the cracks in the door." It somehow encapsulates my 20s, now so many years ago, in one line. Looking back at a life with the wisdom, but also the sadness, that only the passage of time provides. This song is a treasure, loaded with emotion and nostalgia... Hearts- the passion and intensity of the moment. Bones- all that remains through the passage of decades

@@serotoninsyndrome That's interesting. I've never thought of it like that, I usually think of hearts and bones meaning the entanglement of two people in such a way that even their hearts and their bones become inseparable. Even if they try to run from each other and forget their past, their hearts and their bones won't allow them to. "You take two bodies, and you twirl them into one. Their hearts and their bones, nah they won't come undone." Truly immaculate writing.

I'm also Jewish and he's the Paul Simon fan...anyhow the words just hit me and it has morphed into being our favorite song we listen to together.
