59th Street Bridge Song (Feelin' Groovy)
Simon And Garfunkel · Other Songs - Simon And Garfunkel
you move too fast
you've got to make the morning last.
Just kickin' down the cobble stones
looking for fun and feeling groovy
Ba da da da da da da
Feelin' groovy
Hello lamppost
Whatcha knowin'?
I've come to watch your flowers growin'.
Ain'tcha got no rhymes for me?
Do do do do
Feelin' groovy
Ba da da da da da da
Feelin' groovy
I got no deeds to do,
no promises to keep.
I'm dappled and drowsy and ready to sleep
Let the morningtime drop all its petals on me
Life I love you
All is groovy.
Ba da da da da da da (repeat over and over again until fade out)...
59th Street Bridge Song (Feelin' Groovy)
Released in 1966, Simon & Garfunkel's "59th Street Bridge Song (Feelin' Groovy)" stands as a defining example of the Greenwich Village folk-rock revival. The track captures the band's signature interplay between Paul Simon's intricate guitar work and Art Garfunkel's melodic vocals, blending traditional acoustic instrumentation with emerging psychedelic influences. While often associated with the broader counterculture movement of the mid-1960s, the song reflects a more introspective and urban perspective, contrasting with the overt protest themes of their earlier work. Its rhythmic groove and catchy melody made it a staple of live performances and radio play, cementing the duo's reputation as masters of storytelling and musical harmony during a pivotal era in American music history.
