Simon & Garfunkel/Tear Jerker

The music (and harmony vocals) of Simon and Garfunkel is often considered to be so hauntingly beautiful, much of their output can really move one to tears.

---

• "Seven o'Clock News/Silent Night". There's just something in the juxtaposition of the calm and peaceful melody and all the violence in the news report.
• Just stop and really pay attention the next time you hear "The Sound of Silence".
• "Bridge Over Troubled Water" can absolutely kill some people (not literally), as does the beautiful cover version by Eva Cassidy.
• "Scarborough Fair" becomes really depressing when you listen to the lyrics and realise what it actually says. Sarah Brightman's version is particularly haunting.
• "Old Friends/Bookends" can bring a tear to many a person's eye -- and, as time goes on and he keeps getting older, it just gets sadder and sadder.
• "He Was My Brother", made worse by the fact that it's based on a true story.
• "The Boxer".
• "For Emily, Whenever I May Find Her", especially the version found in their 1972 Greatest Hits album.
• "The Sun Is Burning".
• "Sparrow." My God, "Sparrow."
• "April Come She Will"
• Their version of Daniel Robles "El Condor Pasa".
