Chilling Lukas Nelson And Lily Meola ‘Homeward Bound’ Cover By Simon Garfunkel - More Music

Two unbelievably talented musicians, Lukas Nelson and Lily Meola, have turned in an outstanding and chilling cover of Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel’s classic, “Homeward Bound.”

Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel are legendary musicians. Their musical partnership produced classic tunes that are still widely played decades after they were first released. Songs like “Bridge over Troubled Water,” “Mrs. Robinson,” “The Boxer” and “The Sound of Silence” have been covered thousands of times by hundreds of musicians. 

In a clip posted on YouTube, Lukas Nelson, son of legendary country musician Willie Nelson, teams up with Lily Meola for an awe-inspiring performance of another Simon and Garfunkel classic, “Homeward Bound.”

The iconic song, as the title indicates, is about a traveling musician out on the road, playing an endless stream of gigs. He’s been on the road playing so long that everywhere he goes and plays blends together. It all looks the same. He wants nothing but to go home, and that’s where he’s headed as the song begins.

“Homeward bound
Home where my thought’s escapin’
Home where my music’s playin’
Home where my love lies waitin’”

Lukas and Lily’s video is nothing special. They are standing outside on either side of a large microphone, and Lukas strums on the guitar. It’s not even a long video, at a little over a minute and a half. But in that short time, Lukas and Lily display unbelievable talent.

Their voices are absolutely magical, working perfectly with one another as they sing the iconic lyrics. This is a marvelous cover that could and should be listened to repeatedly. Some may even argue that this version is superior to the original by Simon and Garfunkel. I would definitely be one leaning in that direction. 

Colossians 3:16 “Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.”
