These Two I Swear - Tumblr Posts

Ok, now I might as well throw my fucking back out laughing. 🤣

As a sequel to @allinsideyourhead’s recent post about Art throwing his back out laughing, here is another gem of a cancelled show story. Some accounts say that that London show was in fact cancelled because Art was actually too ill to sing…Paul’s biography, however, offers a more amusing story. Also dying to know what happened at the hospital—did he just trip or was there some dramatic fainting incident 💀

(bonus content: the infamous hitchhiking story)

I can't.

And Bye Bye Love right after these.

And Song For the Asking to close the album, where he literally says ASK ME FFS I CAN'T

we don't talk about how really deranged paul simon actually is for writing this about art garfunkel OR ANYONE FOR THAT MATTER like he doesn't even stick to saying I miss you... he's literally gonna hang himself on the highest tree over this. and he's gonna question him like 20 times why he hasn't written him .

And the other idiot still asking himself 50 years later or so why didn't he write him.

"In May of ’69, Mike took the film to Rome, and Paul’s writing changed from “I know your part’ll go fine”—words of a deep friendship (“The Only Living Boy in New York”)—to “Why don’t you write me?”—words of frustration.

(...)

Why didn’t I write him? No doubt Paul and I enriched each other’s lives immeasurably. Where could the crazy notion come from of moving on from this wonderful duo? From hurt. From crazy motion. If Paul felt Mike had given me the means to “sock it to him,” maybe I was doing just that. Why didn’t I write him? Who are these two sensitive Jewish boys whose mothers loved them so much? Who throws the stone and who throws the return stone? Whose stone is imagined? Whose real?"

Of course, taken from What Is It All but Luminous: Notes From An Underground Man by Artie himself.

hes so crazy like. if i dont hear from you right now im going to kill myself

Instead, your partner was in a corner backstage thinking "author, author" because your partner is Paul Simon and that pretty much sums it up.

Ok this is fucking beautiful. Think about singing a new song. You're nervous, hoping it'll do well. You give your best performance while the whole time you're scared it's going to flop.

Then the crowd cheers like this for nearly 30 seconds. They're clapping, crying, celebrating the beauty of this new song. They've never heard this before, and they respond with such a beautiful reaction.

Your partner, the guy who wrote the song, must've been beaming with pride.

This is why Art Garfunkel is one of the best male vocals out there.

Now that's a really good question, yes!

After they couldn't have the (rather beautifully illustrated) all-familiar suggestion on the cover of Wednesday Morning 3A.M., it really begs the question why any of these two pics couldn't have been the cover of Bookends. Richard Avedon, please.

These are perfect 😭

(I remember from somewhere that the 80s one in the third row was supposedly taken during a honeymoon, only it was Paul's and Carrie's... they thought to bring their good friends Artie and Penny along, if I recall correctly, and I always found it... cute? Peculiar? Strange.)

Wedding photos and the honeymoon…

👬👨‍❤️‍👨🫶🏻💍😍🥰❤️

Paul & Artie forever 😘

E X C U S E Y O U

Are we gonna talk about this? Please?

Worst choice of words ever .

Artie did compare it to a marriage though, as far as I recall. Fairer, imho.

[About Art] Is it fair to characterize your relationship of thirty years as complicated as most marriages? (x)

The fact that Paul still remembers a silly remark from their teenage years really tells a lot imho

Art Garfunkel “I’ll always be taller than you” will always be famous to me

All of the nights we'd harmonise 'til dawn,

I never laughed so long, so long, so long...

FOR THE SAKE OF ALL THAT IS HOLY, ARTHUR

I'll never get over this I swear.

I know he stated in The Singer that one loves the giver of a beautiful gift, but ffs...

What a mess, these two.

still losing my mind over this . you literally sang the song what the fuck did you think it was about ??? 😭

YES! Thank you @in-restless-walks , I had forgotten about that - to think it's from 2012, not that long ago...

I can't believe this is how Paul tries to sell the story now. I'm not one to judge as I don't know personal stuff and shit (nobody knows but them, after all), but his words now are just unfair. And as far as I'm concerned, they sound full of resentement.

"We do not refer to Beatles songs as early Paul McCartney songs or early George Harrison songs. They are Beatles songs. (...) Rolling Stones songs are not referred to as Jagger's or Richards’s songs. Ray Davies wrote most of the Kinks’ songs but we do not call them early Ray Davies songs. The songs of Simon & Garfunkel were a collaborative effort, and are distinctly different from Paul Simon’s successful solo career. The works of Simon & Garfunkel have won many awards in the name of Simon & Garfunkel. They are in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in the name of Simon & Garfunkel." "Art Garfunkel was Paul Simon’s missing ingredient. Without him you’ve got smoke but not the explosion that was Simon & Garfunkel."

Thanks fuck somebody said this. Bravo.

Do not allow Art Garfunkel to be written out of history

There was a magical time for modern music, loosely between 1955 and the end of the 20th century, yet a very small percentage of it will surv

I thought Freddie and Deaky used to wear short shorts. I didn't expect them on Artie. Combined with his sexy naughty bitchy silly pose, it's something to see indeed.

I won't speak of Paul because my eyes hurt enough already.

Appreciation of Art Garfunkel in Simon & Garfunkel merch - and shorts.

Can we please talk about the second picture, please? How Artie is basically eating Paul with his eyes? Like, eye-fucking at its finest? He's this guy 😏 thinking "hmmm, yummy!".

And I love his sweater, but that's another story.

Forrest Hills, NY, August 1967

gorgeous Artie and smiley Paul

I fuckin' LOVE the look in Artie's eyes in the second pic. I don't know how to explain it, but I love it. So essentially him.

Who gave you the right to combine these lyrics with these pictures? 😭 Don't get me wrong, I love the combo, it's deliciously heartbreaking.

Something So Right is so much about Paul's relationship with Artie - as are most of his songs, nevermind what he says. Maybe he doesn't even realise, you know, stream of consciousness and stuff, but they are.

When something goes wrong

I’m the first to admit it

And the last one to know

But from what I understand sex must've been great.

"This is an intense couple in every way and their sexual relationship is something truly exciting and challenging at the same time. They are linked through their animalistic natures, continuing one another, ruled by planets that also rule their opposing signs. This is a complicated sexual contact, for they are ruled by Venus and Mars, as if they were made for each other. However, they seem to lack the touch of the element they both need, separated by the quick, superficial element of Air in Libra and emotional, slow element of Water in Scorpio.

Even if they don’t make each other happy in other parts of their relationship, when a Libra partner lets go to their instinctive, animalistic side, they easily become one with their Scorpio partner. Their sex life can be incredibly emotional and demanding, for the pull of their energies is extremely strong and makes them both obsessive and possessive to one another. They will both often get so tied that their relationship seems impossible to break. These ties are created through their physical contact, even if everything else in their relationship makes them deeply unsatisfied." [x]

they were always doomed btw because one is a scorpio and one is a libra

I’m not saying it’s real. I’m just saying that if J2 wrote a J2 fic, it’d be a) reasonably kinky and b) pretttty consistent about Jared’s submissive role. THAT’S ALL.
