In London we were taken to the studio and that was the first time for us as a group.
to meet Paul Simon.
Wow, this is wonderful, it felt so good and so exciting.
So the microphones were set there and then we get there.
We started to sing the song.
[F#] .
But the song didn't want to work.
The first day [E] .
our producer here at home, Westinghouse, he was there trying to help.
He said, no guys, just sing like this, maybe Paul wants this.
[F#] .
And there were so many people trying to help.
We tried the song from two o'clock until six in the evening.
.
And then the song didn't want to work at all.
And Paul Simon said, OK, let's call it [C] a day and then we'll see tomorrow.
We went back to [A#m] our hotel [E] very disappointed because usually, ladies and gentlemen, we.
record 12 songs a day.
But this time only one song, we couldn't make it.
We were so disappointed.
And then when we got in the hotel, we had dinner and then we got together, we prayed.
Our prayer was very deep that day.
I remember that I was so concerned that, no, I've never failed in anything.
So this is not time to fail now.
And then so we practiced [A] the song until 12 midnight and then the song was [A#] together.
I [N] should come over here.
Oh, maybe.
The next day when we went to the studio and Joseph Jackson woke up to Paul Simon said,.
we have been practicing.
So we want you to listen what we have been practicing.
.
[F#] We just look one another, [B] OK, guys?.
[G#] Just like I'm angry.
.
And then Paul, homeless.
.
I nearly faint.
I thought he's going to wait until we finish and he gets there in the right position.

Homeless.
I think it took two takes.
They had it so perfectly.
The beginning of the song is a folk song or a traditional song.
I said, well, what does it mean?.
And they said, oh, we're far away from home and we're sleeping and our fists are our pillows.
And I said, oh, that's beautiful.
.
[N] I enjoyed [Em] working with Paul Simon.
It was just [A] like, it's my younger [G#] brother or elder brother.
Who is this guy?.
He was [G#m] hiding himself in America.
This is my brother.
I call him brother every day.
Brother.
[C#] Because of music.
