Description

Bridge Over Troubled Water ｜A Timeless Ode to Unspoken Love & Strength

When Paul Simon penned “Bridge Over Troubled Water” in 1969, he had no idea it would become one of the most iconic ballads of the 20th century. Inspired partly by gospel influences—particularly the style of gospel singer Claude Jeter—and the soothing sound of Johann Sebastian Bach, the song emerged as a gentle promise of unwavering support through life’s hardest times.
🔹 What many don’t know is that Art Garfunkel, not Paul Simon, sang the lead vocals—something Paul later expressed mixed feelings about. And yet, Garfunkel’s hauntingly pure delivery turned the lyrics into something transcendent.
🔹 Released in 1970 during a time of political turmoil and cultural change, this song became an anthem of comfort, friendship, and hope. Its spiritual and emotional weight resonated deeply then—and still does today.
🔹 This video is a visual journey through each line of the song—brought to life in dreamlike, cinematic imagery designed to evoke the same comfort and strength the lyrics offer.
🔹 Let this song be a bridge when life feels like 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
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 your part
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
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
