Mrs. Robinson
How often I have sung your tune without knowing anything about you. Your song seemed spiritual, full of possibilities.
Your song brings the feelings of childhood back because my parents played your song on the record player over and over.
Finally in adulthood, I saw your movie and then I understood your song. Another layer of childhood innocence seemed to be stripped away.
Your song is not so sweet anymore.

I also grew up with that song and have a early child hood memory watching my older brother getting dressed while th song was playing probably on the radio and thinking he seemed so big and "on his way" some where and I was still small. I also never understood what the song was about or any of the songs where about at that time in my life but they made me feel something, perhaps more alive for the moment the song played.
Do you think maybe this song, that seemed at the first to be grand and wonderful, really might also be full of possibilities?
I know you're just talking about a song. But the song was about looking for a savior, looking for answers, looking for the security that the past once held before the breach.
I think the song is hopeful just for the fact that heaven is hoped for in the painful lyrics.
Whether or not Paul and Art meant that to be.
Just Pat -
Thank you for that thought. It opens up a way to enjoy the song again with new ears.
