Art Garfunkel, Bridge Over Troubled Water (live), Napa, CA, May 12, 2019 (4K)

Art Garfunkel plays "Bridge Over Troubled Water" live in concert at the Uptown Theatre in Napa, California on May 12, 2019. The song was written by Paul Simon and originally appeared on the Simon and Garfunkel album of the same name in 1970. This version does not include the Sail On Silver Girl verse about Simon's then wife, Peggy Harper, which Garfunkel had suggested but which Paul Simon never really cared for. The song has also been reworked to match an earlier version of the song Paul Simon discussed in a recent documentary. Joining Mr. Garfunkel onstage are Tab Laven (guitar) and Paul Beard (keyboard).

Bridge Over Troubled Water lyrics:

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 pain 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

Written by Paul Simon

When he sings, the croak of old age that has crept into his speaking voice melts away. He doesn't have the power of his younger self, but the same vocal sweetness still rings. All these years, and it's still beautiful.

[JESSEHARTBRASIL]

I was friends with his son James. And I got to meet art in Vegas. What a wonderful human being.

[sallyhansen]

I don’t think there could ever be a person who could not appreciate the music of Simon and Garfunkel. It just touches the soul and makes you feel. Respect.

[DJxDJ]

I always admired Paul Simon's masterful songwriting. But Garfunkel's voice... damn, incomparable.

[hildegardbellmann]

I am almost your age, but your voice and this song saved my live from suicide. Thank you.

[heathkish]

This comment section restores my faith in humanity... I love you all!

[hollyhope]

It makes me soooo sad, to see how we all HAVE TO become older. I loved Art and Paul in my youth and still do. So many many years past. I wish I could scroll back these times full of passion and hope.

[DH-enql]

49 years after the release of the song, Art sounds just as beautiful as the first time he sung it.

[jimbarron]

Heartbreaking to think that one day that angelic voice will be silenced forever. I try not to think about it too much but in moments like this it hits you.

[GodsVibes]

The Beautiful Art, always loved his sweet voice for the past 50 years.

[cookiesays]

His voice never gets old. Oh god i love this man

[williamreaves]

I heard Arthur sing this when he, Paul, and their terrific band played the Central Park Concert in 1981. The best show I ever attended, and the biggest crowd too!

[NelsonWin]

Mr Garfunkel maybe old but he still can sing me a lullaby. So beautiful.

[JohnTischler]

I define a Legend by staying power and tolerance for risk. For Art to be still out there trodding the boards after 50 years is amazing. Takes courage and love. Shame on the detractors!

[yamo]

This is why I love Art Garfunkel. Oh my God, I love you.

[Sequentonal]

after all these years it still makes the hairs on my neck stand up...
stunning!

[nakisteelo]

50 years of singing this song and you have still got IT.👍

[alexacuna]

Simon & Garfankel, In 1982 I emigrated to the states (NJ) from my native Peru.and I liked there music very much and I used to practice my English singing these music. I still listen this great musicians.!!! God Bless them!!! 🤓

[artchem]

Paul Simon said when he wrote Bridge over Troubled Waters.. he said” I knew immediately this was going to be a sin for Artie”. .. “ For his voice will make this song sound better than I could by accompanying him- I wanted him dot do without me “
In the interview with Alex Baldwin. 🌟🧡🌟

[cjever]

WOW after 5 years he brought the song back to its high notes 😮
