"I'm leaving I'm leaving
But the fighter still remains"
The boxer Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel is one of the songs that I loved and still love most in the history of music, probably because it addresses a very important period of my life ...
I just found out that it took 100 hours to record it! Incredible, if you think that does not seem so difficult ... is a classic fingerpicking to Paul Simon, an arpeggio that follows us constantly throughout the piece, without interruption. Takes us by the hand and shows us the life of a poor boy who wants to go home, but will let you know that everything he has suffered and struggled. Anyway, a little 'us play on this schedule in the background, change some parts to stanzas varies greatly, even if it could not be boring ... and the chorus? "Lie, the lie" repeated several times, Simon said he did not know what to say, but many also see the word "lie" (lie) ...
I leave it to those interested in discovering the verse is not registered for the 'original, but present in many versions live ... very nice also!
