Michael Parkinson Show

Songwriting and the creative process

Simon explains that songwriting is for him a slow, demanding, and often uncertain process. He says that songs rarely begin with a clear message; instead, they emerge from an attention to language, rhythm, and the sound of words. Meaning, he suggests, sometimes becomes clear only after the song is finished — even to the writer himself.

He emphasizes how much he rewrites and discards material, describing songwriting as a solitary discipline that requires patience and persistence.

Singing and performance

A major point of discussion is his relationship with his own voice. Simon says he has never thought of himself as a great singer, but rather as a songwriter. He openly acknowledges that some songs — most notably Bridge Over Troubled Water — were better suited to Art Garfunkel’s voice than his own.

He speaks candidly about his vocal limitations, accepting them as part of his artistic identity rather than something to overcome.

Simon & Garfunkel

When discussing Simon & Garfunkel, Simon remains measured and unsentimental. He recognizes the duo’s achievements but explains that the breakup was necessary for his personal and creative development. He avoids bitterness or nostalgia, presenting the separation as an inevitable result of creative tension.

He observes that their collaboration depended on a delicate balance that was difficult to maintain over time.

Solo career and artistic freedom

Simon describes his solo career as offering greater artistic freedom, allowing him to experiment more with song structure, lyrical ambiguity, and musical form. Although he does not yet reference world music directly, he suggests an openness to influences beyond conventional pop.

Views on fame and success

Simon expresses a cautious view of fame, suggesting that success can be harmful to creativity if it leads to repetition or complacency. He stresses that his primary goal is artistic integrity, even if it means disappointing public expectations.
