The music (and harmony vocals) of Simon and Garfunkel is often considered to be so hauntingly beautiful, much of their output can really move one to tears.
- "Seven o'Clock News/Silent Night". There's just something in the juxtaposition of the calm and peaceful melody and all the violence in the news report.
- Just stop and really pay attention the next time you hear "The Sound of Silence".
- "Bridge Over Troubled Water" can absolutely kill some people (not literally), as does the beautiful cover version by Eva Cassidy.
- "Scarborough Fair" becomes really depressing when you listen to the lyrics and realise what it actually says. Sarah Brightman's version is particularly haunting.
- "Old Friends/Bookends" can bring a tear to many a person's eye -- and, as time goes on and he keeps getting older, it just gets sadder and sadder.
- "He Was My Brother", made worse by the fact that it's based on a true story.
- "The Boxer".
- "For Emily, Whenever I May Find Her", especially the version found in their 1972 Greatest Hits album.
- "The Sun Is Burning".
- "Sparrow." My God, "Sparrow."
- "April Come She Will"
- Their version of Daniel Robles "El Condor Pasa".
