The Obvious Child

"The Obvious Child" is a song by the American singer-songwriter Paul Simon. It was the lead single from his eighth studio album, ''The Rhythm of the Saints'' (1990), released on Warner Bros. Records. Written by Simon, its lyrics explore mortality and aging. The song is accompanied by a performance from Brazilian drumming collective Olodum in a live recording. Simon wrote his lyrics based on what would compliment the song's rhythm, leading to many passages that could be considered nonsensical.
The single—released in September 1990—performed well on charts worldwide. In the United States, it was mainly successful on the Album Rock Tracks chart, where it peaked at number 21. Outside the US, "The Obvious Child" was a top 15 hit in the United Kingdom and the Netherlands. The song received highly positive reviews upon its release. Simon promoted the song alongside Olodum in a performance on ''Saturday Night Live''. The song also had an impact on popular culture; it is the namesake of the 2014 film ''Obvious Child''.
==Background==
The rhythm tracks are performed by Grupo Cultural Olodum, a drumming collective ("bloco afro") directed by "Neguinho do Samba" (Alves de Souza) and also signed to Warner Bros. It, like many songs on ''The Rhythm of the Saints'', was recorded live in the streets of Pelourinho Square of Salvador, Brazil in February 1988. Microphones were hung from windows or on telephone poles to capture the performances. According to Simon, "Hundreds of people gathered. It was an amazing day — an amazing recording experience." The vocal track was recorded at the Hit Factory in New York City.
