是有关于人性的真善美的音乐作品，作为追求这情理志的我们没有理由不喜欢！

很喜欢前期的Paul Simon, 充满文学意味的歌词和优美流畅的旋律令人神往；现在有一种论调，包括paul Simon自己，把前期的作品称为“superficial sign (肤浅的叹息)”，似乎旋律的优美就代表思想的肤浅，津津乐道于其后期受非洲音乐影响而节奏强烈、群魔乱舞的风格，实在是不敢苟同。

《浊水河上的桥》是一首歌颂友谊的歌曲，感动、激励过很多人，意境很高，但歌曲并不复杂，旋律优美，激荡人心。下面是歌词：

When you're weary,
feeling small,
When tears are in your eyes,
I will dry them all
I'm on your side.
When times get rough
And friends just can't be found,
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down.
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down.

When you're down and out,
When you're on the street,
When evening falls so hard
I will comfort you.
I'll take your part.
When darkness comes
And pains is all around,
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down.
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down.

Sail on silvergirl,
Sail on by.
Your time has come to shine.
All your dreams are on their way.
See how they shine.
If you need a friend
I'm sailing right behind.
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will ease your mind.
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will ease your mind.
