"Cecilia" is a track by the American duo Simon & Garfunkel, released in spring 1970 as the third single from their fifth and final studio album, Bridge over Troubled Water. Paul Simon composed the piece, which originated from a spontaneous late-night gathering where the musicians and friends struck a piano bench rhythmically. They captured this sound via tape recorder, applied reverb effects, and synchronized it with the machine-generated beat. Simon subsequently developed the song's guitar melody and vocal content.
