Een man loopt door de straat. Hij zegt: waarom voel ik mij nu zacht in mijn middel? Waarom voel ik me zacht in het midden? De rest van mijn leven is zo hard? Ik heb een herinnering in beeld nodig. Ik wil een beeld van de verlossing. Ik wil niet eindigen als een spotprent, op een begraafplaats voor tekeningen. Lijkenpikker, lijkenpikker. Honden in het maanlicht. Ver weg mijn verlichte deur. Meneer Bierbuik Bierbuik, Hou die mormels bij me vandaan. Je weet dat ik dit niet grappig meer vind. Wil jij mijn lijfwacht zijn, dan ben ik je langverloren vriend. Ik zou je Betty noemen, en Betty wanneer jij mij roept, kun je me Al noemen. Een man loopt door de straat. Hij zegt: waarom kom ik aandacht tekort? Die aandacht duurt altijd zo kort.. En mijn nachten zijn zo lang. Waar zijn mijn vrouw en familie? Wat als ik hier sterf? Wie zal mijn voorbeeld zijn, nu mijn voorbeeld verdwenen is? Foetsie Hij dook terug in het steegje, met een mollig, klein meisje met een vleermuizengezicht . En daarna daarna, waren er voorvallen en ongevallen. Er waren aanwijzingen en aantijgingen. Wil jij mijn lijfwacht zijn, dan ben ik je langverloren vriend. Ik zou je Betty noemen, en Betty wanneer jij mij roept, kun je me Al noemen. Noem mij All Een man loop door de straat. Het is een straat in een vreemde wereld. Misschien is het de derde wereld. Misschien is hij er voor het eerst. Hij spreekt de taal niet. Hij heeft geen los geld. Hij is een buitenlander. Hij is omgeven door geluid. Het geluid. Vee op de marktplaats. Kleine geluidjes en weeshuizen. Hij kijkt rond, rond. Hij ziet engelen in de bouwstijl, alsmaar in het rond tollen. Hij zegt: Amen en Halleluja! Wil jij mijn lijfwacht zijn, dan ben ik je langverloren vriend. Ik kan je Betty noemen, en Betty wanneer jij mij roept, kun je me Al noemen. Noem mij Al

If you be my bodyguard I can be your long-lost pal I can call you Betty And Betty, when you call me, you can call me Al.

Paul Simon About You Can Call Me Al "You Can Call Me Al" is a song by the American singer-songwriter Paul Simon. It was the lead single from his seventh studio album, Graceland (1986), released on Warner Bros. Records. Written by Simon, its lyrics follow an individual seemingly experiencing a midlife crisis. Its lyrics were partially inspired by Simon's trip to South Africa and experience with its culture.

Simon's fame, influence and commercial success began as part of the duo Simon & Garfunkel, formed in 1964 with musical partner Art Garfunkel. Simon wrote most of the pair's songs, including three that reached No. 1 on the singles charts: "The Sounds of Silence," "Mrs. Robinson," and "Bridge Over Troubled Water." The duo split up in 1970 at the height of their popularity, and Simon began a successful solo career, recording three highly acclaimed albums over the next five years.

Nastoletni fani muzyki, patrząc na ostatnią listę zestawienia UK Chart Top 100, czyli najpopularniejszych płyt w Wielkiej Brytanii, zapewne zdziwiliby się, pytając, kim jest ten artysta, który lądując na szczycie listy, pobił Beyoncé, Coldplay czy Drake'a? Podobnie byłoby z tymi, którzy spojrzeliby na listę Billboard 200, tam ów artysta znalazł się na trzecim miejscu. Ponad 74-letni dziś muzyk został tym samym najstarszym wykonawcą solo, który zdobył szczyt UK Chart. Tym sposobem Paul Simon, bo o nim mowa, nawiązał do swoich największych osiągnięć solo sprzed lat czy w duecie Simon & Garfunkel. Pracując nad każdą płytą, Paul Simon słyszy zewsząd pytania, co zdradził magazynowi "Rolling Stone", czy to będzie nowy "Graceland"? Czy może coś bliskiego Simon & Garfunkel? Na swojej 13. płycie Paul nie odwołuje się ani do folkrockowych dokonań duetu, który w latach 60. zgarnął 10 nagród Grammy, dzięki hitom "The Sound of Silence" i "Mrs Robinson". Ani do płyty "Graceland" z 1986 roku z przebojem "You Can Call Me Al", dzięki której afrykańskie rytmy, z których korzystał, zachwyciły Zachód i która ląduje niemal we wszystkich zestawieniach płyt wszech czasów. Oczywiście na nowym krążku Paula "Stranger to Stranger" są naleciałości tego, co grał przed laty, ale udanie muzyk wszedł z nimi w nowe muzyczne klimaty. Wiele o tej płycie i samym Simonie mówi klip do pierwszego, znakomitego singla "Wristland". Widać w nim uśmiechniętego, niskiego pana w kapelusiku wchodzącego do sali nagrań. To Paul Simon. W sali przy instrumentach kilku muzyków. Na zupełnym luzie grają, w części wygląda to, jakby jammowali zabawny kawałek z tekstem o tym, jak trudno jest czasami członkowi zespołu wejść na koncertowy backstage, jeżeli nie ma odpowiedniej opaski na ręku. Simon namawia w trakcie numeru muzyków do solówek, sam bawi się swoim wokalem, opowiadając historię z przymrużeniem oka. Nie mniej zabawy jest w wersji numeru na żywo, która znalazła się w dodatkach do "Stranger to Stranger". Oto właśnie cały Paul Simon, pełen humoru, tworzący genialne, wpadające w ucho melodie, do tego otoczony doskonałymi muzykami i niebojący się współczesnego brzmienia. To w tym numerze, obok gitar, saksofonu, trąbki czy kontrabasu, słychać sample i bity stworzone przez włoskiego producenta i DJ-a Clap! Clap! Wstawki tego gościa, którego Simon poznał przez swojego syna, najlepiej słychać w doskonałym "Street Angel" z naleciałościami world music. Podobny klimat ma "The Werewolf" z dźwiękami indyjskiego instrumentu jednostrunowego gopichand (zwanego też ektara). Na płycie wyprodukowanej na spółkę z Simonem przez ponad osiemdziesięcioletniego dawnego współpracownika Simon & Garfunkel, Roya Halee, słychać też marimbę, tubę, marakasy czy cytrę, na których grają albo sam Paul, albo muzycy pochodzący z różnych stron świata. Simon stworzył tym samym multikulturowy muzyczny tygiel, który wymyka się klasyfikacjom. Muzyk dokłada do niego nie tylko zabawne teksty, jak we wspomnianym "Wristland", ale też bardzo poważne lirycznie, na przykład inspirowane tragicznymi masakrami w amerykańskich szkołach. Jedną z piosenek, instrumentalną "In the Garden of Edie", poświęcił swojej wieloletniej żonie, znakomitej wokalistce Edie Brickell. "Stranger to Stranger" to album wielowymiarowy, ze zmieniającym się napięciem. Osadzony w folkowych, jazzowych, rockowych i bluesowych amerykańskich klimatach muzycznych z silnymi naleciałościami wielu kultur. Paul Simon jest w formie i jak przekonuje, nie zamierza jeszcze przechodzić na emeryturę.
