A beautiful haunting song with vague lyrics will be misinterpreted for decades. Generations of fans enthusiastically bending the meaning to their specific whims.
It was about miscommunication the whole time. 🔥

You're not talking about Ode to Billy Joe, are you?
@ClaraListensprechen4 i was not.. but I must admit I don't know that one - so thanks for posting
@dannotdaniel
Then your hashtag wasn't a general statement but a reference to Simon & Garfunkle ... which has more than one composition fitting that description #ScarboroughFair
@dannotdaniel
Don't know if the subject was miscommunication but there was a lot of that happening, ha. See also "At The Zoo".
@ClaraListensprechen4 oh cool I don't know that one.
or at least, I don't know-that-I-know it, yet..
thanks! 🤩
@dannotdaniel
I got an album with all that on there and it's a trip...speaking of which, America is on it too (...we've gone to look for America...)
@dannotdaniel
Forgot to mention the name of the album: Bookends
@ClaraListensprechen4 ahh ok well of course I know THAT one
listening to the zoo one now, it's def new to me
@ClaraListensprechen4 was that song also about miscommunication? I think elements of the post are for sure general..
see the video I posted below where Art Garfunkel explains exactly what it's about, and then Google for the meaning and buckle your seatbelt 😅
