For Emily, Whenever I May Find Her - Simon & Garfunkel

Just a beautiful, short little song. Penned by Simon and sung by Garfunkel, it is a wonderful image of an ideal. Although many believe it is written about an imaginary girl, Simon has stated that it is actually about a belief, while their later song "Overs" is about the end of this belief. Amazingly, Simon doesn't really like this song, although I speculate it's because he was never able to fulfill his image he describes in it, but Garfunkel really enjoyed singing it and does so with such passion. A truly romantic piece that is stunningly beautiful in it's simplicity.
