Simon and Garfunkel 'The only living boy in New York'.

This is another song i love (i have a lot of them, but i'm not very good at making my mind up) and i adore Simon & Garfunkle anyway's, and this is one of my favourite song's by them.

Paul Simon wrote this song to Art Garfunkle, who had started a second career as an actor at the time. The name used to address Art is 'Tom', which is a reference to the duo's first 'group', which they called themselves 'Tom and Jerry'.

It's a lovely song, and one of the first song's i ever heard from the group. It's from the excellent 'Bridge over troubled water' album, and the whole album is filled with excellent track's and worth a listen.
