Simon and Garfunkel - “The Only Living Boy in New York”

When most people think of Simon and Garfunkel and music soundtracks it is easy to pin down their songs on the soundtrack for 1967’s the Graduate.  But it might be easy to forget their contribution to the indie laden Garden State soundtrack, “The Only Living Boy in New York”.

The song, written by Paul Simon, is a very transparent message to Art Garfunkle who flew to Mexico to shoot the movie Catch-22, leaving Simon alone in New York to write what would become their final album together, Bridge Over Troubled Water.
