Story behind the song
i wanted to cover this to try and improve my piano skills and i love the song . It was very difficult to put together but enjoyed having a go at it! everyone needs a bridge to negotiate "troubled Water "
Lyrics
when you're weary , feeling small When tears are in your eyes , I will dry them all I'm on your side ,oh when times get rough And friends just can't be found Like a bridge over troubled water I will lay me down Like a bridge over troubled water I will lay me down When you're down and out When you're on the street When evening falls so hard I will comfort you I'll take you part Oh when darkness comes And pain is all around Like a bridge over troubled water I will, lay me down Like a bridge over troubled water I will lay me down Sail on silver girl Sail on by Your time has come to shine All your dreams are on their way See how they shine Oh if you need a friend I'm sailing right behind Like a bridge over troubled water I will ease your mind Like a bridge over troubled water I will ease your mind

yeah great cover of such a timeless classic - really like how you approached this with the want (and belief) to do justice to this piece, that's the attitude which delivers such great results, - you most def nailed it!

I was fortunate to meet Art Garfunkel many years back... This is a beautiful cover of that renown Simon & Garfunkel hit from yesteryear. Bravo Steve :^))

A difficult song to cover Steve but you did it! Great work on the vocals. You definitely needed a lie down after this one. Good work bud!

This is a very nice cover of one of my favorite Simon & Garfunkel songs. You managed to capture a lot of the magic of the original song. Great work!

One of your best attributes is your smart thought on what song to work on. You captured Garfunkels angelic voice in only a way you can. There are were many musicians and bands who would have been delighted to have you included in their ensemble!

Well Steve, you have pulled off the almost impossible. Your vocals are absolutely fantastic. They are full of emotion and all the little nuances of the original. The vocal harmonies, strings and Big Production at the end section is nothing short of amazing. Your piano playing is very very good. I dabble in keyboards but this song is way out of my league. A real triumph and so beautifully recorded and mixed.

You are a brave soul. I would never attempt this. Such a difficult song to cover but you've done it justice Steve. Amazing keys and even more so as keys ain't your first instrument. Incredible comes to mind here. Wow! 10 stars!

Wow. For someone who doesn’t play piano ha quite a challenging piece. I am assuming you just read music to take on all the notes in the piano part and the vocals on this are quite challenging. Kudos for the bravery and the results are excellent. Great work.

A deceptively difficult song to perform & produce. Very impressed by the level of work you have put into this & it has definitely paid off. Superb job on the vocals and fantastic the way you nailed the production & music, especially the part where the song shifts up a gear. You captured the vibe perfectly.

First to comment! Enjoyed the listen. A very difficult song to take on and you gave it your all and then some. It's evident in the final product. Congrats on a job well done. Simon and Garfunkel are not an easy artist to cover and you did it well. Keep up the great work my friend!
