Yes, bread of angels it’s called. There’s a big idea behind it, kind of kingdom of God is within you feel.
“The problem is all inside your head”, she said to me. The answer is easy if you take it logically. (…) She said it grieves me so to see you in such pain, I wish there was something I could do to make you smile again. I said I appreciate that. (…) She said why don’t we both just sleep on it tonight, and I believe in the morning you’ll begin to see the light. And then she kissed me and I realized she probably was right.
{ Paul Simon, Fifty Ways to Leave Your Lover, 1975 | Lyrics }
50 Ways to Leave Your Lover is a 1975 hit song by Paul Simon, from his album Still Crazy After All These Years. It became number one on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 on February 7, 1976, and remained there for three weeks.
Written after Simon’s divorce from first wife Peggy Harper, the song is a mistress’s humorous advice to a husband on ways to end a relationship. Studio drummer Steve Gadd created the unique drum beat that became the hook and color for the song consisting of an almost military beat. The song was recorded in a small New York City studio on Broadway.
