ALBUM: PARSLEY, SAGE, ROSEMARY AND THYME
LABEL: COLUMBIA RECORDS
GENRE: FOLK ROCK
YEAR: 1966
Parsley, Sage, Rosemary
and Thyme is the third studio album by American music duo Simon & Garfunkel.
Produced by Bob Johnston, the album was released on October 24, 1966 in the
United States by Columbia Records. Following the success of their debut single
"The Sound of Silence", Simon & Garfunkel regrouped after a time
apart while Columbia issued their second album, a rushed collection titled Sounds
of Silence. For
their third album, the duo spent almost three months in the studio, for the
first time extending a perfectionist nature both in terms of instrumentation
and production.
The album largely consists
of acoustic pieces that were mostly written during Paul Simon's period in England
the previous year, including some recycled numbers from his debut solo record, The
Paul Simon Songbook. The album includes the Garfunkel-led peace "For
Emily, Whenever I May Find Her", as well as "7 O'Clock News/Silent
Night", a combination of news reports of the day (the Vietnam War, the civil
rights movement, the death of comedian Lenny Bruce), and the Christmas carol "Silent
Night".
Many critics have considered it a breakthrough in
recording for the duo, and one of their best efforts. "Homeward
Bound" had already been a top five hit in numerous countries and "Scarborough
Fair/Canticle" performed similarly. The album peaked at number four on the
Billboard Pop Album Chart and was eventually certified triple platinum by
the Recording Industry Association of America.
Simon & Garfunkel were
an American folk rock duo consisting of singer-songwriter Paul Simon and singer
Art Garfunkel. They were one of the best-selling music groups of the 1960s and
became counterculture icons of the decade's social revolution, alongside
artists such as the Beatles, the Beach Boys, and Bob Dylan. Their biggest
hits—including "The Sound of Silence" (1964), "Mrs. Robinson"
(1968), "The Boxer" (1969), and "Bridge over Troubled Water"
(1970)—reached number one on singles charts worldwide.
Are you going to Scarborough Fair?
Parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme
Remember me to one who lives there
She once was a true love of mine
Tell her to make me a cambric shirt
(On the side of a hill in the deep forest green)
Parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme
(Tracing a sparrow on snow-crested ground)
Without no seams nor needlework
(Blankets and bedclothes the child of the mountain)
Then she'll be a true love of mine
(Sleeps unaware of the clarion call)
Tell her to find me an acre of land
(On the side of a hill, a sprinkling of leaves)
Parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme
(Washes the ground with so many tears)
Between the salt water and the sea strand
(A soldier cleans and polishes a gun)
Then she'll be a true love of mine
Tell her to reap it in a sickle of leather
(War bellows, blazing in scarlet battalions)
Parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme
(Generals order their soldiers to kill)
And to gather it all in a bunch of heather
(And to fight for a cause they've long ago forgotten)
Then she'll be a true love of mine
Are you going to Scarborough Fair?
Parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme
Remember me to one who lives there
She once was a true love of mine.

Magda Davitt (born Sinéad
Marie Bernadette O'Connor (/ʃɪˈneɪd oʊˈkɒnər/)
on 8 December 1966) is an Irish singer-songwriter who rose to fame in the late
1980s with her debut album The Lion and the Cobra. As Sinéad O'Connor, she
achieved worldwide success in 1990 with a new arrangement of Prince's song
"Nothing Compares 2 U".
Since then, while
maintaining her singing career, she has occasionally encountered controversy,
partly due to her statements and gestures—such as her ordination as a priest
despite being a woman with a Roman Catholic background—and her strongly
expressed views on organised religion, women's rights, war, and child abuse. In
addition to her ten solo albums, her work includes many singles, songs for
films, collaborations with many other artists, and appearances at charity fundraising
concerts.
In 2017, O'Connor said that she had changed her legal
name to Magda Davitt.
I hope you're happy now
I could never make you so
You were a hard man
No harder in this world
You made me cold
And you made me hard
And you made me the thief
Of your heart

Oh, but you're colder still
And for the first time
I feel like you're mine
I'll share you with the one
Who will mend what falls apart
And turn a blind eye
To the thief of your heart
Oh, you lost
Oh, you lost
Hope
You lost hope
You lost hope
I'll never wash these clothes
I want to keep the stain
Your blood to me is precious
Nor would I spill it in vain
Your spirit sings
Though your lips never part
Singing only to me
The thief of your heart
Oh, you lost
Oh, you lost
Oh, you lost

You lost hope
Oh, you lost
Oh, you lost
Hope
You lost hope.

Grandfather watches the grandfather clock
And the phone hasn't rang for so long
And the time flys by, like a vulture in the sky
Suddenly he breaks into song
I'm waiting by the phone
Waiting for you to call me up and tell me I'm not alone
I'm waiting by the phone
Waiting for you to call me up and tell me I'm not alone
Hello, speak up, is there somebody there?
These hang ups are getting me down
In a world frozen over with over exposure
Let's talk it over, let's go out and paint the town
Cause I'm waiting by the phone
Waiting for you to call me up and tell me I'm not alone
Cause I want somebody to shove
I need somebody to shove
I want somebody to shove me
You're a dream for insomniacs, prize in the Cracker Jack
All the difference in the world is just a call away
And I'm waiting by the phone
Waiting for you to call me up and tell me I'm not alone
