	I love the beginning of Girl, Interrupted when they play this song. For me, this song sums up everything about being innocent and not wanting to lose it. Great song.

No Picture Maarten Average	#2 by Maarten Wuyts at Feb 16, 1993 at 2:57 AM EST
	amazing, i've always been a huge paul simon fan since i was a kid, i grew up listening to him from my mom, and i always liked this song, then i had a death of a good friend recently and this song along with the lyrics from the other bookends song really hit me, "can you imagine us years from today, sharing a park bench quietly", and he was my best friend and i could imagine that, then when this part of the song starts its like the feeling of the harsh reality that its not going to happen now, because memories are all that i have of them now. very moving song for me

No Picture Drennan Professional Badass	#3 by Drennan Bragg at May 6, 1993 at 3:25 AM EST
	This is one of those timeless songs that hits one deeply emotionally. It's all about how the past seems to always be better in retrospect than the present. In the end, it's only your memories that define who you were and who you are.

No Picture Erik Lead Player	#4 by Erik StJimmy at Sep 23, 1995 at 2:42 PM EST
	I find it absolutely amazing that so much can be said in only 4 lines.
