Point Taken.

Point taken.

he always holds his cig so gayly. be honest

I am Seth, the Red.

I am Seth, great of magic.

I am Seth, lord of the wind.

I am Seth, lord of the storm.

I am Seth, lord of the desert.

I am Seth, the destructive one.

I am Seth, he with the great roar.

I am Seth, before whom the sky shakes.

I am Seth, he who is in the middle of fire.

I am Seth, the lord of power and strength.

I am Seth, he with great power at the tip of the Barque.

I am Seth, and I answered your call.

Were you aware, when you came to me?

Were you aware of what I would bring?

Were you aware that I would stick around?

Were you aware that I would tear your heart out of your broken ribs?

Were you aware that I would stand among the flaming sand as you cried out for help?

Were you aware that I would be there to help you?

Of course you were not.

That’s why I came.

You needed me.

You needed my lessons, the harder the better.

You needed to understand your rage more.

You needed to dance through the storm - no: with the storm.

You needed to find your may among the swirling dust devils and their dervish songs.

You needed to know how much you belong to the red sands, deadly and unforgiving, yet constellated with oases of peace.

And now that we’ve been through all that, tell me: would you really want me to go away?

Yeah. I thought so.

Uhm, yeah, sometimes I write my own devotional bits too. Sometimes someone inspires me and I listen and write. This time, it was Seth. The Red himself. So, a litte bit of devotion for him.

While in the classic scenario his guitar is Artie, lol.

it’s 1am and all i’m doing is watching the central park concert over and over and thinking about how paul looks at his guitar like he wants to fuck it

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.

I love this! Thank you so much for sharing! 🤩

I didn't fully understand what Paul says though, can some native speaker help me out? 🥲

Just uploaded this TV segment about S&G featuring a short interview. It's a bitter one. Check it out!
