The first time I heard it. I went right out and bought the album. Of course by that time I was buying all they're albums as soon as they came out.

Garfunkel was trying to break into acting. Paul Simon wrote the song because Garfunkel (who was an architect)wanted a song about Wright. So Simon repeated the words " so long" over and over In the song. Hinting they were breaking up.
