Cover art for Old Friends/Bookends lyrics by Simon and Garfunkel

Beautiful. The story, the music, the theme, all of it. In fact, the entire album is a masterpiece, but this song stands out to me in particular. Although I am 11, I am convinced the best music was made from 1954 to 1974. I am currently going through a big Simon and Garfunkel phase in general, but no song tops this. This is the best.
