After All These Years
Saturday, February 3, 1996 by Dave Winer.
I'm having a lot of fun with a collection of "Paul Simon" songs, Negotiations and Love Songs 1971-1986.
He pulls at the heartstrings so beautifully:
I met my old lover on the street last night.
She seemed so glad to see me, I just smiled.
And we talked about some old times and we drank ourselves some beers.
Still crazy after all these years.
Ohhhhh.
Still crazy after all these years.
Yeah!
It's a sad jazzy song, it really reaches inside.
To a fine place, a very rich place.
It's what you share!
A secret way of communicating.
A joke that only we get.
A truth that we agree on.
A secret language.
A way to get nutty without anyone else getting it!
Your best friend.
So...
This song is a toast to our lovers, past, present and future.
Where ever they may be.
Still crazy after all these years.
YES!
