Our Take

SIMON & GARFUNKEL - THE GRADUATE

It's like the cool older siblings you always wanted, showing you the way to the good stuff. Simon & Garfunkel's soundtrack for "The Graduate" is a classic slice of 60s folk that still sounds fresh and relevant today. From the iconic "Mrs. Robinson" to the haunting beauty of "Scarborough Fair/Canticle," this album is a masterclass in storytelling through music.

The duo's harmonies are as tight as ever, floating effortlessly over delicate acoustic guitar arrangements. With themes of love, loss, and confusion, Simon & Garfunkel capture the essence of youth in turmoil, making this soundtrack a timeless gem.

But it's not all melancholy introspection – tracks like "The Sound of Silence" and "April Come She Will" inject a sense of hope and longing that is both uplifting and bittersweet. The instrumentation is sparse yet lush, creating a dreamy atmosphere that pulls you in and refuses to let go.

The production may sound a bit dated to modern ears, but that's all part of the charm. It's like stepping into a time capsule and experiencing the magic of the 60s all over again. So sit back, press play, and let Simon & Garfunkel take you on a journey through the highs and lows of life. You won't regret it.

The album remains a masterpiece of the folk-rock genre, showcasing Simon & Garfunkel's unparalleled ability to blend traditional folk elements with a contemporary sensibility. Despite their undeniable talent, Simon & Garfunkel were not without their struggles. The duo's fraught relationship often led to tension both on and off stage, culminating in their eventual breakup in 1970.

From the haunting melodies of "The Sound of Silence" to the wistful nostalgia of "Mrs. Robinson," Simon & Garfunkel's music continues to inspire generations of listeners. Their songs capture the essence of a bygone era while remaining relevant in today's ever-changing musical landscape. So if you're in the mood for some classic folk-rock with a touch of nostalgia, look no further than Simon & Garfunkel. Their music is like a warm embrace on a cold winter's night, reminding us of the beauty that exists in simplicity and harmony.
