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

这是我前两天开车回家的路上,听到电台播放着这首歌曲,一直都特体熟悉这首歌曲的旋律,可是从来都没有去留心这首歌名。
回家后,我就根据听到的歌词,在Google上查到了这首歌曲,原来是我喜欢的歌手Simon & Garfunkel演唱的《Homeward bound》。
《Homeward bound》这首歌收录在Simon & Garfunkel第二张专辑《The sound of silence 沉默之声》。
写这首歌时,保罗赛门旅居於英国,还未成名的他在各地演唱,多半搭乘火车往返。
有一次班车误点,他在月台上等车时,一时思乡情切、灵感泉涌,写下了这首平淡但雋永动人的好歌。(摘自网络)
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".
