  1. Getting emotional listening to this #cassette tape I picked up yesterday from a free box. I owned this album (on tape, I believe) when I was a kid and I listened to it a lot. It's almost 80 minutes of music and wouldn't even fit on a single CD. I love Simon and Garfunkel. Paul Simon's solo work never quite carried the emotional weight of this duo for me.

  5. In the car is a boxer (engine)
    And a fighter by his trade
    And he carries the reminders
    Of every knock that laid him down
    Or ping him till he cried out in his anger and his shame
    "I am stalling, I am stalling", but the engine barely maintains

  6. They call me Baby Driver
    And once upon a set of wheels
    I hit the road and it's gone dead
    What's the tow truck's number?

  8. "For Emily, Whenever I May Find Her" is a song written by Paul Simon and recorded by #American music duo #SimonAndGarfunkel on their third studio album, #ParsleySageRosemaryAndThyme (1966). It is sung solely by #ArtGarfunkel, and consists mainly of his vocals with heavy #reverb and a 12-string acoustic guitar. The lyrics concern finding a lover, although Simon once characterized the subject matter as being about a "belief", rather than about a specific individual.
