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!
