Paul Simon - Me And Julio Down By The Schoolyard
Review by Ax Realm
Me And Julio Down By The Schoolyard is a classic album by the legendary singer-songwriter Paul Simon. Released in 1972, it features some of Simon's most beloved songs, including the title track, "Mother and Child Reunion," and "Duncan."
The album showcases Simon's signature style of combining folk, rock, and world music influences to create a unique sound that is both catchy and introspective. The lyrics are deeply personal and often reflect Simon's experiences growing up in New York City.
The title track, "Me and Julio Down by the Schoolyard," is a fan favorite and features a catchy melody and upbeat rhythm. The song tells the story of two young boys who get into trouble with the law and is a perfect example of Simon's storytelling abilities.
"Mother and Child Reunion" is another standout track, featuring a reggae-inspired beat and heartfelt lyrics about the loss of a loved one. The song was inspired by a dish Simon had at a Chinese restaurant called "Mother and Child Reunion."

When this was in the Top 10 in the Spring of 1972 I used to let my first girlfriend drive my Dad's old '56 Ford. This always reminds me of those sweet innocent days.

The Mother and child reunion. Don't expect too much. It will probably be awkward and difficult, Don't expect too much. Just take it as it comes.

Mother & Child reunion was actually the name of a dish in a Chinese restaurant where Paul had a meal- all of the intense meaning came form the listener- not the artist
2023-04-07
The sopranos brought me here pretty good and catchy song
2023-04-07
That’s a terrible pain to go through ???❤
2023-04-06
I really love Paul's songs
2023-04-05

Música de 1972 que fez muito sucesso nos salões de festas de São Luís do Maranhão, Brasil... nestas épocas estava aportando na Jamaica Brasileira, como a cidade também é conhecida, o ritmo jamaicano o Reggae que no estado é daçado agarradinho... Recomendo que ouçam, também da mesma época, Stir it Up (de Bob Marley) que inicialmente fez sucesso com Johnny Nash.

Love it ...Thank you

The Chinese government murdered my sister with their Covid virus on 25th Feb '21. This song was her favourite song.

This song is my 'yesterday, today, and forever' #1.
There have been many,many challengers throughout all of my illustrious golden years of music and very hard to decide. That's right. Beatles, Motown, etc., etc., etc...

In high school when this came out. Seems like a few yrs ago. Folks, the clock starts turning like a fan when you start to age. Don't be so impatient to get a little older. Enjoy your life, but do not make the same mistakes as I. Trust me, get a bible and read it. I'm so sorry I did not listen to my parents until I was 40+ yrs old. I lost my youth to the military, and then 2 yrs in prison for drugs a couple of yrs after I rotated back to reality. I do have 2 wonderful daughters, and a wife who still loves me, so God was watching over me because my parents and 2 sisters prayed all the time for me. This song always reminded me of Catholic doctrine. Mother/Child worship, which is nothing but the old pagan religion posing as Christianity. I've read the bible, and the Reformers were right about the Vatican, so stay away, or come out of her. God bless you all, and may the New Year bring you what you are looking fror. But, the end is near. The bible is just like a news source before it happens. I've seen a huge % of end times prophecy in my lifetime. And it has nothing to do with those E Europeans squatting in Palestine. They are no more remnants of the Israelites of the OT than my dog or cat. Shalom
