Paul Simon
Slip Slidin' Away
Slip slidin' away
Slip slidin' away
You know the nearer your destination
The more you're slip slidin' away
I know a man
He came from my home town
He wore his passion for his woman
Like a thorny crown
He said Delores
I live in fear
My love for you's so overpowering
I'm afraid that I will disappear
Slip slidin' away
Slip slidin' away
You know the nearer your destination
The more you're slip slidin' away
I know a woman
Became a wife
These are the very words she uses
To describe her life
She said a good day
Ain't got no rain
She said a bad day's when I lie in bed
And think of things that might have been
Slip slidin' away
Slip slidin' away
You know the nearer your destination
The more you're slip slidin' away
And I know a father
Who had a son
He longed to tell him all the reasons
For the things he'd done
He came a long way
Just to explain
He kissed his boy as he lay sleeping
Then he turned around and headed home again
Slip slidin' away
Slip slidin' away
You know the nearer your destination
The more you're slip slidin' away
God only knows
God makes his plan
The information's unavailable
To the mortal man
We work our jobs
Collect our pay
Believe we're gliding down the highway
When in fact we're slip slidin' away
폴 사이몬은 포크를 파격적인 리듬과 가사, 그리고 레게,
아프리카 비트, 브라질의 토속리듬, 뉴 올리언즈 흑인 영가
등 세계의 고유 리듬과 접목하는 실험정신을 발휘했다.
2000년 발표한 "Greatest Hits-Shining Like A National Guitar"
앨범은 '72년 첫 솔로 데뷔앨범 'Paul Simon'에서 '97년 발표한
마지막 정규 앨범인 'Songs From Capeman' 앨범까지 폴의 실험
정신이 강한 30년 음악 역사를 고스란히 기록하고 있다.
"사이몬 & 가펑클"이라는 이름으로 영위했던 감미롭고 대중
적인 포크송은 폴 사이몬의 첫 데뷔 앨범 이후로는 찾아보기
힘들다. 그의 실험정신으로 인해 사이몬과 가펑클 음악 느낌은
점차 사라졌기 때문이다.
