Meaning
At first I didn't get the song and I thought it was just a weird song… but then when I finally thought about it I realized this song is about God, and the importance of love. I think the other voice in this song is supposed to be God. He says "love me, thats the main request I receive" which to me is saying that people are not loved enough. The deep voice also says "the big bang was a joke I made up" which is downing science and saying that God has a sense of humor and then saying hopefully some day people will get the joke. He also says he made up the joke when he had eons (eternity) to kill. I'm not the greatest theist but I give major props to Paul for doing this. I've never been a huge Paul Simon fan but he really is a legend and its too bad songs like this don't get recognized. A very humbling and peaceful meaning. Something you don't hear in songs very often these days. I guess that's why in the long run he's considered such a great songwriter. As a musician I'm jealous, because its almost impossible to put yourself in that position these days and make money at the same time. Stan.
