@imlostfornames08 Indeed! I was just listening to his version and I must say that I like it better than this...no offense, of course, I love S&G...

Warrel Dane made it his own version...but both of them are fantastic.

OMG, I haven't heard this song in probably 20 years. As I played it, I couldn't believe I still know all of the lyrics. I can't tell you if I took my medication today or not, but I know all of the words.LOL

I have no idea what the context of the Indian song is because it's in an Indian language, most likely Hindi, but also possibly any one of a thousand other languages. Whatever Indian musical theory is, it usually leads to a practice of shrill, hurried cacophonies that give me a headache.

@SamBlob Perhaps it's more of the context of the Indian song rather than the Indian instrument.

Best Simon and Garfunkel song ever !

This was the first song I ever heard with Indian instruments, although I didn't know it at the time. I didn't hear "Norwegian Wood" or "The Inner Light" until long after that. I (sometimes) like Western songs with Indian instruments, whereas I have learned from experience that I cannot *stand* Indian music. I have never heard of Warrel Dane and, based on the comments I have read here, I don't think I want to.

It's got something in common with Jefferson airplane's White rabbit, I think...

@imlostfornames08 I prefer the original. I grew up listening to my dad sing simon and garfunkel and his old records...I'm probably a bit biast. But..Warrel dane's is more..aggressive sounding. I appreciate it, but I think the original just captures the tone of the song better.
