49. Simon and Garfunkel - Bridge Over Troubled Water

Found on: Bridge Over Troubled Water (1970)
Picked by: EV

The best aspect of this secular hymn - besides the beautiful devotional lyrics - is the way it builds. Art's airy voice barely audible at first, but with each moment he gains confidence and volume, as if he believes his own words more and more as he says them. By the end, we're nearly overwhelmed.
