| Paul Simon – My Little Town Lyrics
| 21 years ago

The visual images stirred up by this song are very moving (yet, haunting as a statement about the death of the industrial age). . . kinda takes me back to my childhood. I love the way the whole mood turns on the trademark simon and garfunkle "mmm, mmm, mmm" which follows the lyric "i was just my father's son. . ."
Musically, i absolutely love to hear this drummer (probably steve gadd). . . who builds the song up from his bass drum, yet who plays only what the song asks for. Kudos to the pianist and bassist also. And the horns and choral harmonies are awesome. One of my favs! |

Nick is an absolute workhorse on guitar on this one, isn't he? I love the back-and-forth movement of the guitar and piano. And of course, Nick brings it all home with a beautiful ending. . . What does it mean to me? Well. . . the man in the shed needs help. When she tells him he'll have to find a friend, he looks to at HER to be that friend. |

I have always enjoyed this song for its simplicity. Especially the way the lyrics move slightly out-of-step with the music. In other words, I love Nick's "phrasing." What does this song mean to me? Well. . . have you ever had a friend that you really wanted to have a closer relationship with. . . Someone who is always telling you just how special they think you are? Yet, for whatever reason, they don't want to have a closer relationship with YOU? |
