Songs That Deal With Autism/Aspergers

Post Reply New Topic

I agree about Simon and Garfunkel's "I Am A Rock," and "Sounds of Silence."

Gad, so many to choose from
"The Bitterest Pill" - Jam
Script for a Jester's Tear - Marillion...
Smiths, some Morrisey (don't swing that way, but does strike a response)
"Creep" - Radiohead
early Cult ("Always Wrong" - boy does that sound familiar..
could go on and on...

How about John Lennon's "The Fool on the Hill"


Day after day,
Alone on the hill,
The man with the foolish grin is keeping perfectly still,
But nobody wants to know him,
They can see that he's just a fool,
And he never gives an answer,
But the fool on the hill
Sees the sun going down,
And the eyes in his head,
See the world spinning 'round.

Well on the way head in a cloud,
The man of a thousand voices is talking perfectly loud
But nobody ever hears him,
Or the sound he appears to make,
And he never seems to notice,
But the fool on the hill
Sees the sun going down,
And the eyes in his head,
See the world spinning 'round.

And nobody seems to like him
They can tell what he wants to do.
And he never shows his feelings,
But the fool on the hill
Sees the sun going down,
And the eyes in his head,
See the world spinning 'round.

woah ooh,
Round and round and round.

He never listens to them,
He knows that they're the fool
They don't like him,
The fool on the hill
Sees the sun going down,
And the eyes in his head,
See the world spinning 'round.

I love the Beatles.

Shades of Me,

I like the Beatles too. They are my favorite group. Simon and Garfunkel is a close second.

By Dream Theater:

I remember, some years ago, hearing a country song about a man who had an autistic brother who would look at the dust particles in the sunbeams as a child and, upon reaching adulthood, eventually had to be institutionalized.
