"Fakin' It" was one of Simon's and Garfunkel's single releases in 1967. Its B-side was "You Don't Know Where Your Interest Lies," a single-only track.

The running time of the song was actually 3 minutes and 14 seconds. Radio stations resisted playing songs lasting longer than three minutes, so the time was "faked" to read 2:74 on the label.

Not a S&G fan, per se but this is my favorite song of theirs. My neighbor had this 45 in the early '70's and we played it all the time. I never heard it on the radio and never heard any mention of it over the years. I don't know why that is...this is just so brilliant.

Walking along the sand during a winter day. Waves 2 to 3 feet. Thinking of the girl named Windy. Heard this song on first puff of you know what. Hooked into music forever. Now its legal."good day Mr. Leitch." At the dispensary 2018. Life came full circle. On my way out.

Love the coda, the strings, the horns and the hand claps; I could listen to that all day long.

When she goes, she's gone.If she stays, she stays here.The girl does what she wants to do.She knows what she wants to do.And I know I'm fakin' itI'm not really makin' it.I'm such a dubious soul,And a walk in the gardenWears me down.Tangled in the fallen vinesPickin' up the punch linesI've just been fakin' itNot really makin' it.Is there any danger?No, no, not not really.Just lean on me.Takin' time to treatYour friendly neighbors honestly.I've just been fakin' it, fakin' itNot really makin' it.This feeling of fakin' itI still haven't shaken it.Prior to this lifetimeI surely was a tailorLook at me( good morning, Mr Leitch. Have you had a busy day? )I own the tailor's face and hands.I am the tailor's face and handsI know I'm fakin' it, fakin' itI'm not really makin' it.This feeling of fakin' itI still haven't shaken it.I know I'm fakin' it,I'm not really makin' it.

During the beginning of autumn I break out Simon & Garfunkel. I love the notion of "faking it" which is deeper than just lying. A fake has to first deceive themselves then convince others who will reinforce the faking. It is a reciprocal process.

One of my favorites. Love the guitar riff and the strings. Very Beatlesque, as some other Simon+Garfunkel songs of the era (e.g. "Hazy Kind of Winter" which is reminiscent of "Penny Lane").Has a kind of "Good Vibrations"-type production.

What struck a corny chord, @ first listen, so looong ago, today, ads a quaint little touch of what about it's distinctive. Time, has altered my perception.
