Song: Homeward Bound Aritst: Simon & Garfunkel
I'm sitting in the railway station Got a ticket to my destination On a tour of one-night stands My suitcase and guitar in hand And every stop is neatly planned for A poet and a one-man band
Homeward bound I wish I was Homeward bound Home where my thought's escaping Home where my music's playing Home where my love lies waiting Silently for me
Every day's an endless stream Of cigarettes and magazines And each town looks the same to me The movies and the factories And every stranger's face I see reminds me That I long to be
Homeward bound I wish I was Homeward bound Home where my thought's escaping Home where my music's playing Home where my love lies waiting Silently for me

這是我前兩天開車回家的路上,聽到電台播放著這首歌曲,一直都特體熟悉這首歌曲的旋律,可是從來都沒有去留心這首歌名。
回家後,我就根據聽到的歌詞,在Google上查到了這首歌曲,原來是我喜歡的歌手Simon & Garfunkel演唱的《Homeward bound》。
《Homeward bound》這首歌收錄在Simon & Garfunkel第二張專輯《The sound of silence 沉默之聲》。
寫這首歌時,保羅賽門旅居於英國,還未成名的他在各地演唱,多半搭乘火車往返。
有一次班車誤點,他在月台上等車時,一時思鄉情切、靈感泉湧,寫下了這首平淡但雋永動人的好歌。(摘自網絡)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Simon & Garfunkel are an American singer-songwriter duo consisting of Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel. They formed the group Tom & Jerry in 1957, and had their first taste of success with the minor hit "Hey, Schoolgirl". As Simon & Garfunkel, the duo rose to fame in 1965, backed by the hit single "The Sounds of Silence". Their music was featured in the landmark film The Graduate, propelling them further into the public consciousness.
They are well known for their close vocal harmonies and sometimes unstable relationship. Their last album, Bridge over Troubled Water, was delayed several times due to artistic disagreements. They were among the most popular recording artists of the 1960s; among their biggest hits, in addition to "The Sounds of Silence", were "I Am a Rock", "Homeward Bound", "A Hazy Shade of Winter", "Mrs. Robinson", "Bridge over Troubled Water", "The Boxer", "Cecilia", and "Scarborough Fair/Canticle".
