stranger to stranger has got to be the craziest song paul simon has ever written.
any time he mentions melody and/or harmony in a solo song i raise an eyebrow cause its like. what else could you possibly be talking about? but this one is on another level
"stranger to stranger/ if we met for the first time/ this time/ could you imagine us/ falling in love again?" WHO THE FUCK STARTS A CONVERSATION LIKE THAT I JUST SAT DOWN
"words and melody/ easy harmony/ old-time remedies" YOU'RE LITERALLY INSANE
don't even get me started on "certain melodies tear your heart apart/ reconstruction is a lonesome Art* " i feel like im going to explode
