  • "A Hazy Shade of Winter" is a song written by Paul Simon, recorded and released by Simon & Garfunkel in 1966, and then included on their 1968 album, Bookends (although it also appeared on their Live from New York City, 1967).

Critic Richie Unterberger described the song as "one of [Simon and Garfunkel's] best songs, and certainly one of the toughest and more rock-oriented". The lyrics evoke the passage of the seasons, but (as the title suggests) focusing on the gloominess of winter. The chorus of the song repeats: But look around,leaves are brown nowAnd the skyis a hazy shade of winterLook around,leaves are brownThere's a patch of snow on the ground. They reflect perhaps subconsciously those of John Phillips' "California Dreamin'".
