"Cecilia" is a song by American music duo Simon & Garfunkel, released in April 1970 as the third single from the group's fifth studio album, Bridge over Troubled Water (1970). Written by Paul Simon, the song's origins lie in a late-night party, in which the duo and friends began banging on a piano bench. They recorded the sound with a tape recorder, employing reverb and matching the rhythm created by the machine. Simon later wrote the song's guitar line and lyrics on the subject of an untrustworthy lover. The song's title refers to St. Cecilia, patron saint of music in the Catholic tradition.

Cecilia ( fl. 1439), was a Danish lady-in-waiting, royal mistress and the morganatic spouse of the Scandinavian monarch Eric of Pomerania, king of Denmark, Norway and Sweden.
Cecilia was the lady in waiting of Eric's wife, Philippa of England. After the queen's death in 1430, she became King Eric's mistress. The relationship was a public scandal and is mentioned in the royal council's official complaints about Eric. According to legend, nobleman Oluf Axelsen Thott overturned her carriage, struck her three times with a sword, and told her to carry his compliments to King Eric, and say that she should part him and Denmark.
Cecilia is described as loyal, and she followed Eric to Pomerania after he was deposed in 1439. She is to have married Eric sometime after the death of Philippa, unknown more exactly when. Cecilia was never queen. In Pomerania, she is referred to as married to Eric in a donation to a convent. She was last mentioned in 1439.
