Paul Simon

In March 2013, during his mesmerizing performance at the International Convention Center in Taipei, Paul Simon was deep in the thick of his post-legacy, showcasing tracks from his extensive career. Just before this captivating live recording, Simon released 'So Beautiful or So What' in 2011, which reestablished his profound lyrical prowess and rhythmic innovation after a decade of relative quiet. It’s intriguing to note that this album marked his return to a larger public consciousness, with Simon weaving together themes of love, loss, and existential reflection. Performing 'Hearts and Bones' in the medley highlights not just a nostalgic moment but also showcases his ability to blend older themes with contemporary soundscapes, gaining fresh resonance even now. Simon's journey has always been about evolution, and this live performance was yet another testament to his unyielding spirit and artistry.
