When did Paul Simon write 'Bridge over Troubled Waters'?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Paul Simon wrote the song in the summer of 1969 while Art Garfunkel was busy filming Catch-22. Simon brought the song into the studio to record but it only had two verses. He and producer, Roy Halee, felt the song needed a third verse. Simon wrote the third verse in the studio, but never felt it blended well with the first two verses.

Why do boys like when girls bodies are wet?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Answer I don't know if its when the girls body is wet, or when the girl has a tight white top on and the top is wet, exposing her nipples. That's why there are wet T shirt contests. Answer Drives men nuts Guys like wet t-shirt contests, as well as seeing girls get soaked by sprinklers as well as watching women coming out of the pool for one reason, and that reason has not even been close to being mentioned. We like it because wet women remind us of them having sex, as when attractive (well endowed) or fit women are soaking wet with sweat, and that naturally turn us on.

What is the meaning of the lyrics of Trailways Bus by Paul Simon?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The song is from the musical, "The Capeman" by Paul Simon (obviously!). It tells the story about a 16 year old Puerto Rican gang member called Salvador Agron, who took part in the brutal murder of innocent teenagers, in the 1950's. He became the youngest person on Death Row but his sentence was commuted. During his time in prison, he became fully rehabilitated, taking and passing his High school exams. Being a model prisoner, he was allowed out to go to college. One day, however, he did not return to prison, instead taking a Trailways Bus to Arizona in an attempt to escape. The song tells the story of his journey on the bus; it describes some of his fellow passengers and the passage through Dallas - the site of Kennedy's assassination. During his incarceration, he was written to by a Native American woman who lived on a reservation, and they maintained contact, perhaps falling in love. The verse which includes the words, "...no money to come East" are hers. The end of the song are his feelings of being an outsider, as the border police enter the bus, and also describe his memories of the night he committed the murders - he is unable to forget these, in his quest for redemption.

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

guys usually don't really care about makeup. But if you wear tooo much, they're gonna think its "wierd looking" or something like that. So don't cake-face ur face with the makeup. make it look natural and pretty.

Answer:

that's bull! most guys are like that not all, trust me, I got experience with this. But like that other person said, don't wear too much makeup or the guys will think of you as a total weirdy! Wear a little, then explore with a little more at a time, DON'T OVERDO IT! Tips:

Too much eyeliner makes you look like a raccoon, not kidding

Dark eyeshadow, gothic

Pink eyeshadow, are you crazy, the guys will think of you as a slut that wants to look like barbie.

wearing red lipstick as a teenager, makes you look like a wannabe slut, and an idiot. DON'T DO IT!

Just put mascara on, don't glob the whole bottle at once, maybe a shimmery lipgloss, something glossy but not too much, eyeliner, just a simple line, and you'll be good, no point in wearing eye shadow, you look good enough, no point in overdoing it.....

3rd Answer:

I've done everything .... well a boy will love you to wear some makeup, but narural is best ! but i guess its what you and the boy are like .. if your emo and the boy is too, then yeah dark eyeshadow and thin layer of eyeliner and loads of mascara will be great. if your cute .. then cute is always natural! trussttt. if you want to be fake , then go ahead no1 is stoppping you .. loads of foundation, eye liner, mascara , eye shadow sometimes... all up to you! x

4th Answer:

How did Paul Simon write homeless?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

He saw a BBC documentary featuring Ladysmith Black Mambazo and wanted to record with them, arranging to meet their lead singer Joseph Shabalala when he went to South Africa to start Graceland. They gave him some albums which he listened to each night during his stay. As he didn't want to go back to South Africa for political reasons he wrote something upon his return to America. He send the demo of himself on piano singing "homeless, we are homeless. Moonlight sleeping on a midnight lake" to Joseph, saying he could change whatever he wanted. He carried on the lyrics in Zulu, a reworking of a. traditional Zulu wedding song. Somebody say is taken from an existing Ladysmith song, but I don't know which. I think the ihi ihi part comes from a further song of theirs which Paul vaguely recalled and thought it would provide the song with the part he felt was missing

What religion does Paul Simon singer songwriter practice?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

AnswerI am not sure what he practices now but he is Jewish from origin and went to school with Art Garfunkel who is also Jewish by origin

**************************************************************

Its pretty clear that he is non - religious (agnostic or atheist) and definitely does not follow any organised religion now...

Take a look at his lyrics from 'How can you live in the Northeast' from his last album Surprise (2006) for example :-

How can you be a Christian?

How can you be a Jew?

How can you be a Muslim, a Buddhist, a Hindu?

How can you?

Weak as the winter sun, we enter life on earth.

Names and religion come just after date of birth.

Then everybody gets a tongue to speak, and everyone hears an inner voice.

A day at the end of the week to wonder and rejoice.

If the answer is infinite light, why do we sleep in the dark?

In another song, appropriately titled 'I don't believe' from the same album comes the lines:-

I don't believe we were born to be sheep in a flock

To pantomime prayers with the hands of a clock

And another song 'Wartime Prayers' has the line:-

People hungry for the voice of God

Hear lunatics and liars

Paul Simon lyrics are sometimes obscure, but I think all these lyrics add up to as unequivocal statement as he can get regarding his disbelief.

What did Paul Simon wear?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

When and where? Personally his dress has never been rock star. The sixties and seventies saw a lot of tank tops. His best image via attire for me was late 80s early 90s when it was black boots; blue jeans; tee shirt and smart casual jacket; then late 90s early 00s saw trainers; slacks; loose, untucked shirt or sweater with the sleeves rolled up and a baseball cap; mid to late 00s shoes; slacks; short sleeved shirt or sweater then back to jackets with the baseball cap giving way to a trilby hat. His Hyde Park concert saw a return to the jacket and tee with the trilby

Who sang bridge over troubled water first Elvis or Paul Simon?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Elvis recorded it first. On the very first released recording Art Garfunkle sang the lead, though Simon joins him in the third verse. The demo version with only Paul Simon was later released. So Paul Simon sang it first, but Elvis recording was released before Paul's but later than the Garfunkle version.
