"A Hazy Shade Of Winter" #13 12/10/1966

One of my very favorite Simon and Garfunkel songs. Definitely one of Paul Simon's better writing efforts, it could be considered a companion piece to "California Dreamin' " as it deals with the transition from fall to winter. This didn't show up on any of their albums until "Bookends" in 1968. The Bangles did a somewhat harder-edged version in the late 80's that left out the final verse.

Another anthem of a wasted life of a "nobody".
Paul Simon's a genius when figuring out the gist of humanity. Move over Psychology.
