Paul is deeply confused and unsatisfied, but he doesn't know why. He just knows that something is missing. It is also about the \"American Dream\" - the guarantee that you will make it if you stumble upon this country. That is why they are coming to America.\n\nThe song is a great example of Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel singing in unison, which was a hallmark of their sound. Garfunkel is especially fond of the section where they sing, \"And walked off to look for America.\" https://tinyurl.com/2czfave6", "location": 1, "location_name": "Default", "play_type": "trackplay" }
