6-10-11 - "Cecilia" ~ Simon & Garfunkel

As promised, here's a song with a lot lighter of a mood than yesterday's.  This one's either about a relationship on the rocks or the trials and tribulations of a songwriter... or both, perchance?  St. Cecilia is the patron saint of music in the Catholic faith; Paul Simon supposedly was trying to express the fleeting nature of artistic inspiration.


Either way, it's just a fun song with unusual percussion and cool harmonies:




"Jubilation,
she loves me again,
I fall on the floor and I'm laughing..."
