*dances* it's me and Julio down by the schoolyard!
Oh, Simon & Garfunkel!
I love the Concert in Central Park album!

In restless dreams, I walked alone
Narrow streets of cobblestone
'Neath the halo of a street lamp
I turned my collar to the cold and damp
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light
That split the night
And touched the sound of silence

-Simon & Garfunkel, Sounds of silence

@mike67 yes! And I also really like Mrs. Robinson by them!

,,And here's to you, Mrs. Robinson, Jesus loves you more than you wil know, woo woo wooo..."

Oh, yeah, and the Boxer, of course:

In the clearing stands a boxer
And a fighter by his trade
And he carries the reminders
Of every glove that laid him down
Or cut him till he cried out
In his anger and his shame
"I am leaving, I am leaving"
But the fighter still remains

As photographers, not to forget Kodachrome, see my post 5 Sep 22:

Kodachrome
They give us those nice bright colors
Give us the greens of summers
Makes you think all the world's a sunny day, oh yeah
I got a Nikon camera 😉
I love to take a photograph
So mama, don't take my Kodachrome away

@mike67 I'd love to write another song lyrics, but unfortunately, that's all I know by Simon & Garfunkel... 😅

@elsieblack145 Anotherone from the Concert in Central Park:

Homeward bound

I wish I was
Homeward bound
Home where my thought's escapin'
Home where my music's playin'
Home where my love lies waitin'
Silently for me

Or look for "Wake up little Susie", although it is originally by The Everly Brothers!

@mike67 Thaks for the recommendations! I knew the song Wake up little Susie, but had no idea that Simon & Garfunkel sang it too 😅 (also, "All I Have to Do Is Dream" by the Everly Brothers is amazing, too! :-))

@elsieblack145 My all-time favourites are (next to Queen, as you might know...) Dire Straits and Pink Floyd.

And what have you got
At the end of the day?
What have you got
To take away?
A bottle of whisky
And a new set of lies
Blinds on a window
And a pain behind the eyes.
-Dire Straits, Private Investigations

Remember when you were young, you shone like the sun.
Shine on you crazy diamond.
Now there's a look in your eyes, like black holes in the sky.
Shine on you crazy diamond.
You were caught in the cross fire of childhood and stardom.
-Pink Floyd, Shine on you crazy diamond

@mike67 oh, okay, thank you! I'll definitely listen to these! :-)

@mike67 The Dark Side Of The Moon by Pink Floyd is amazing!

@elsieblack145 Yes, indeed, it is! I enjoy Dire Straits and Pink Floyd usually using head phones, lieing on the floor, concentrating on listening. But lately there is no time doing so.
