A long time ago, two singers named Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel made music together as Simon & Garfunkel. They created a super famous album, but then they decided to stop singing as a team. This made their fans, including me, really sad because their music was so special. They did sing together a few times later, but it was never quite the same as before.
One song they made, called “Bridge Over Troubled Water,” is extra special and still loved by people today. Paul Simon wrote it to cheer up anyone feeling sad or tired. The song starts quietly, like a gentle hug, with simple words: “When you’re weary, feeling small…” At first, Paul wondered if those words were too plain, but they turned out to be perfect because they make everyone feel understood. As the song goes on, it grows bigger and more powerful, like a warm blanket wrapping around you.
In 2010, a group called the Songwriters Hall of Fame gave “Bridge Over Troubled Water” a big award for being an amazing song. Art Garfunkel said, “I still sing this song everywhere I go, and it feels new every time. It never gets old, and it always gives me goosebumps.” He meant that the song feels alive and touches people’s hearts, no matter how much time passes.
You can watch a video of Simon & Garfunkel singing this beautiful song together one last time. Even though they had some disagreements, when they sang, it was like nothing else mattered. Their voices blended perfectly, like two best friends sharing a happy moment. The song feels like a bridge that connects the past to today, helping everyone feel a little stronger.
