1966 A Hazy Shade of Winter is a song by American music duo Simon & Garfunkel, released on October 22, 1966, initially as a stand-alone single, but was subsequently included on the duos fourth studio album, Bookends (1968). The song peaked at number 13 on the Billboard Hot 100. In 1987, The Bangles recorded a cover version of the song that charted higher, at number two on the national charts. A Hazy Shade of Winter follows a more rock-tinged sound, with a fairly straightforward verse-refrain structure. The song dates back to Simons days in England in 1965. The song follows a hopeless poet, with manuscripts of unpublished rhyme, unsure of his achievements in life. The lyrics evoke the passage of the seasons, but (as the title suggests) focusing on the gloominess of winter.
