"Still crazy after all these years" @ my first vocal gig ever....song by Paul Simon
This song is a case of lyrical dissonance explains Simon... where the music doesn't match the mood of the words. "The song is a bit darker than people think. Because the chorus and the phrase are so suggestive of a long time passing, it has a touch of the 'Auld Lang Syne' to it. I don't think people pay attention to the lyrics of the song, which makes me feel I probably wrote the wrong lyric to it."Regarding the unusual chord changes, he added: "I was studying with a bass player and composer named Chuck Israels at the time so I was doing more interesting changes. I was studying harmony with him. Instead of using a minor chord I use a major chord and go up a step. It is hard to get an interesting key change. I also like to write a bridge and just jump a whole-tone up. 'Still Crazy' has that."Simon won the 1975 Grammy award for Best Pop Vocal Performance for this song, and the album won the Grammy for Album of the Year. At the ceremony, Paul Simon got up to make his acceptance speech and thanked Stevie Wonder, who'd won the previous two years, for not making an album that year. And the next year's Album of the Year Grammy went to Wonder again.
