The rare and beautiful 'Soft Parachutes' from the sadly deleted film 'One Trick Pony,' written and directed by Paul Simon.
I was going to upload the whole deleted film, but had a pang of conscience that it might infringe copyright, even though it's out of circulation and many fans haven't had chance to see it :-( So I hope what is (imho) the best song in the film will be of some comfort to those of you who haven't had chance to see the film!

You are absolutely right Nicole. I wonder, however, if the song is written this way for the very purpose of the listener always wanting more. Paul had truly achieved this goal. I can listen to it over and over again, and not tire of its sound and also its message.11 years ago

I love this song.(!) I can only imagine Paul thought of it as a throw-away song--but not for those who look it up obviously--it matters to us deeply. He is the reason I am going back to school for a music therapy degree and the reason why I picked up guitar in the first place 18 years ago.12 years ago

In Italy the movie used to be shown late night now and then years ago. I never caught it, and now since years it's not to be seen anymore.13 years ago

Why did he leave this song out of the original One Trick Pony album? Did he think it wasn't good enough? I can't make it out.13 years ago

Just finished watching this movie again. It's been years since I've seen it. Such a shame this song was left off the album. I love it!13 years ago

As the film was less than well-received critically, this song (as I recall) was also dismissed by music critics as being insipid or puerile. 'Tis a shame, because I always found it to be extremely powerful and affecting.14 years ago

It's arguably the best song in the movie, but was the only song in the movie not on the soundtrack album! I still play it on guitar from time to time. The other songs were mostly forgettable. Would love to see the film again someday.14 years ago
