the boxer

In the clearing stands a boxer, and a fighter by his trade
And he carries the reminders of every glove that laid him down or cut him
til he cried out in his anger and his shame
I am leaving, I am leaving, but the fighter still remains
Yes he still remains

-Simon and Garfunkel, "The Boxer"


SIMON & GARFUNKEL - The Boxer - 1975 - Live - MyVideo

Timeless masterpiece. One of the few things that keep me afloat nowadays. If you have time, listen to the whole song. And please listen and read the lyrics. This is beyond a beautiful bluegrass rendition.

May this song encourage everybody who's going through a tough time.

Keep swingin'
