Take a Look Around
Paul Simon wrote many great songs and the recorded version of “Take a look Around, The Leaves are Brown.” with Art Garfunkle is still a classic. A portrait and a wake up call of New York by a top artist at their prime. Its a slice of life in winter time. These songs define us even when we don’t want them to. Urgent yet loving. It holds up over time. It is philosophy of the street. I disregarded this song when it came up in my Juke Box Brain because it had been ubiquitous when it was originally released. But it stubbornly played over and over in my frontal lobes for days until I acquiesced and gave it print time here. “Time see what you’ve done to me.”
