Does being moved by an obscure 50+ year old song show musical genius?

[RingOfFire]

It has been so many decades since I heard this song that it brought tears to my eyes the moment I heard it. One of his many little known in a collection of pure genius. This song is in a genre of its own.

[AI Opinion]

Being deeply moved by a 50+ year-old obscure song doesn’t mean you’re a “musical genius,” it means you’re emotionally and aesthetically open, which is just as beautiful. 🎶

What it does show is sensitivity, memory, and a strong connection to artistry beyond trends. Recognizing “genius” in something little-known reflects great taste and a personal, almost intimate relationship with music. 🥹💿

The Jewish boy can write some tunes! I think he wrote all for Simon & Garfunkel except 'Bridge Over Trouble Water'. I believe Art handled that great tune.
He really shook it up when they busted up. 50 Ways
That one where he blew that room away after smokin' a J.
Kodachrome
I like most all his songs.

Definitely... yes, Simon wrote 99.9% of their tunes. What a genius. One of the greatest of our lifetime in my opinion. I like pretty much all his songs too. I think he and Dylan were the greatest lyricists of our time. Interesting they are both Jewish! Simon's guitar playing on this song is incredible too... unique style. How could a song like this have been forgotten so long? Boggles my mind.

He obviously liked to mix it up with comedy and light hearted atmosphere at times.
But could go so deep like The Sound of Silence or I Am A Rock. I remember hearing them all time as a little boy of 6 and 7.
