(WMG owns this not me) (Lyrics) Let us be lovers well marry our fortunes together I've got some real estate here in my bag So we bought a pack of cigarettes and mrs. wagner pies And we walked off to look for america Kathy, I said as we boarded a greyhound in pittsburgh Michigan seems like a dream to me now It took me four days to hitchhike from saginaw I've gone to look for america Laughing on the bus Playing games with the faces She said the man in the gabardine suit was a spy I said be careful his bowtie is really a camera Toss me a cigarette, I think theres one in my raincoat We smoked the last one an hour ago So I looked at the scenery, she read her magazine And the moon rose over an open field Kathy, Im lost, I said, though I knew she was sleeping I'm empty and aching and I dont know why Counting the cars on the new jersey turnpike They've all gone to look for america All gone to look for america All gone to look for america Less

May 2, 2012 - Amazing! It's not just a song - it's an artistic high-wire act. Paul Simon manages to get through the whole thing making every line absolutely original and exactly right. Lyricists - listen to this song and tremble!

Mar 29, 2012 - Yes Paul Simon is one of the best singer-songwriters in the history of American pop music . Cameron Crowe ingeniously employed at a wonderful time in the film Almost Famous _______. I love the line from simon's solo effort Slip Slidin Away He wore his passion for his woman like a thorny crown and from my little town Hanging out shirts in the dirty breeze

Feb 28, 2012 - It's always iffy responding to year old comments, but...I believe the song you are referring to is "Fantasy" from All 'N All (1977). I am priveleged to know Maurice White's ex-wife, and also his nephew...The song was partly inspired by the movie "Close Encounters of the Third Kind," and coincidentally, I also knew Dr. J. Alllen Hynek pretty well, the man whose work inspired "Close Encounters."

Jan 6, 2012 - I remember this past summer I rode my bike about a mile up the road at about 7 or 8 to see the full moon. I sang this song as I rode up there, and when I got to the top of the hill where there was a huge field on either side of the road, I found myself singing, "And the moon rose over an open field." over and over.

Nov 24, 2011 - The podcast is trying to write a song at least half as epic as this. I don't think it's possible...
TFrills Says:

Jun 15, 2010 - Well, Razzyboy, it took me a long time to realize that you ARE who you are, & "time" doesn't have a thing to do with it; no matter how old you are, once you are age 14, you're "complete," & what you like, & can appreciate, is pretty set. You must not be a "follower," but, instead, a "thinker," & that means that you want more than just "what is popular"; perhaps you like the music of the 1960s because it was "raw," & really SAID something; it was true ART, not computerized "noise."

Jun 15, 2010 - You are so right! The kids of today are beginning to appreciate the great music of the 60's and early 70's. I really hated disco music! Someone said it was great and I asked him to give examples.I said the Bee Gees, but their earlier work in the 60's was much better! I said OK to Earth, Wind and Fire. But honestly, that's about it! And they said rock and roll was just a phase! Rock and roll is here to stay! Even though the music of today is so bland and pop. Hate it!
