Paul Simon

Hearts & Bones

An under-appreciated masterpiece

Review Score: StarStarStarStarStarStarStarStarStarStar (10/10)
It's been said many times that Hearts and Bones gets lost in the shuffle of Paul Simon's recordings. I couldn't agree more. This is an album of beauty and wit and longing and love. For my money there may not be two more powerful songs of love, and love lost, than Hearts and Bones and Train in the Distance. I still get shivers when I hear Simon sing "You take two bodies and twirl them into one...their hearts and their bones, oh and they won't come undone." How stunning, and how beautiful. And then "Everybody loves the sound of a train in the distance, everybody thinks its true." I've heard that train in the distance and thought it was true, so the song has particular meaning for me.

Both versions of Think Too Much are excellent. And of course, Johnny Ace. Still brings tears to my eyes.

If you don't have this album, buy it...you will not regret it.
