I read someplace that Cecilia, Simon and Garfunkel's jolly tune, is based on Saint Cecilia... er... really?
?
Aaah... as in:
"The song does reference St. Cecilia and describes Simon's frustration with his muse leaving him and his jubilation upon her return"
(had this quote written down in a notebook... have to try and see from where I got it)
I always loved this song so nice to know not just about a flighty girlfriend, but about the artist's muse. And it's rhythm also goes along perfectly well with the rhythm of opening a can with and old fashioned can-opener!
Cecilia
— Simon & Garfunkel
CHORUS:
Cecilia, you're breaking my heart,
You're shaking my confidence daily.
Oh Cecilia, I'm down on m my knees,
I'm begging you please to come home.
Come on home
CHORUS
Making love in the afternoon
with Cecilia up in my bedroom,
I got up to wash my face
When I come back to bed,
Someone's taken my place
CHORUS
Jubilation,
She loves me again,
I fall on the floor and I'm laughing
Jubilation,
She loves me again,
I fall on the floor and I'm laughing
