Simon &amp; Garfunkel reunited several times after their split, but I guess it will never be the same.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.nme.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/SimonAndGarfunkelPA220512.jpg\" alt=\"Paul Simon: 'I'll never record with Art Garfunkel again'\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Paul Simon wrote this about providing comfort to a person in need. It started as a modest gospel hymn but became more dramatic as he put it together.&nbsp; At first, Simon thought the opening lyrics were too simple: \u201cWhen you\u2019re weary, feeling small. When tears are in your eyes, I will dry them all.\u201d He later realized that it was this simplicity that helped give the song a universal appeal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2010, the Songwriters Hall of Fame honored \u201cBridge Over Troubled Water\u201d with its Towering Song Award. At the ceremony, Art Garfunkel said: \u201cWell, here we are, years later, I\u2019m still singing it from town to town, and it\u2019s completely alive and fresh to me. There is nothing dated, or any feeling of the past \u2013 I love doing it. Thank the Lord the feeling \u2013 the goosebumps \u2013 constantly checks in every time I do it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/d30dlsmzf55i8e.cloudfront.net\/images\/processed\/title\/62a9ae13d40a1cbacff75e52.JPEG\" alt=\"Bridge Over Troubled Water chords by Simon &amp; Garfunkel | GuitarTuna\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Indeed.&nbsp; Art is absolutely right. \u201cBridge Over Troubled Water\u201d has passed the test of time. It is without a doubt one of the&nbsp;most beautiful melodies ever written.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The following video shows a heartrending performance where this musical duo got back to sing their hit song together for the last time. Things were not very well between these legends, but thankfully that doesn\u2019t affect their performance at all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Enjoy this enchanting hit song right below, and don\u2019t forget to share it if you like it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Simon &amp;
