Pentatonix - The Sound Of Silence Lyrics
Hello darkness, my old friend
I've come to talk with you again
Because a vision softly creeping
Left its seeds while I was sleeping
And the vision that was planted in my brain
Within the sound of silence
In restless dreams I walked alone
Narrow streets of cobblestone
'Neath the halo of a streetlamp
I turned my collar to the cold and damp
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light
That split the night
And touched the sound of silence
Ten thousand people, maybe more
People talking without speaking
People hearing without listening
People writing songs that voices never share
No one dare
Disturb the sound of silence
Of silence, of silence, of silence...
"Fools" said I, "You do not know
Silence like a cancer grows
Hear my words that I might teach you
Take my arms that I might reach you"
But my words like silent raindrops fell
And echoed in the wells of silence
And the people bowed and prayed
To the neon god they made
And the sign flashed out its warning
In the words that it was forming
And the sign said "The words of the prophets
Are written on the subway walls
And tenement halls
And whispered in the sounds of silence"

Pentatonix The Sound Of Silence Comments
I wish i could see you sing together with Avi, the same piece. But i love this song with Matt.
Mitch’s voice is out of this world. Matt has more control of his range than is humanly possible. I’m planning my next vacation to see them live. Well done!
I like this song so much cry
For those who lost their lives today
In war, earthquakes, storms volcanic eruption and disease
This song is nice like always. They colored it, I like it. ;-)
The only thing that brought tears to my eyes was the hairstyle of the little man. I don't know if I'm crying or laughing, maybe both. :-E
Very lovely.
This song is always Godly powerful, no matter what version you listen to.
I absolutely love the girls voice. Gives me goosebumps
Awwwww that's sooooo beautiful ❤️
2:00 it's amazing.
Can't stop listening. Matt and Scot gave me the chill
What If Avi Back?
Meh. Disturbed version of sound of silence is way epical than this.
No thanking disturbed for the inspiration?
Kakofonix
Fiquei arrepiada.
Each one of these individuals could be a solo artist. The new Member is very good . Always stood by the smaller white guy. His voice is amazing.
This Matt guy slays, I love his voice
Kirstie is so freaking gorgeous and her voice is so freaking beautiful and I could listen to her sing all day. ♥
more Simon and Garfunkel!!!
Expectacular
well - lets just say - they need 5 person to sing 2 person song. confirmed
The range of vocals in this take give the song a whole other definition. The original is okay...an acquired taste. This one is more varied making it SOUNDS (plural) of Silence. Still no beating DISTURBED's beating though.
Cisza hymn po simierci prezydenta gdansk
Algum Brasileiro ouvindo essa música em 2020?
Who is still listening to this wonderful song in 2020?
Азиата не хватает.
They have it all.. deym they don't even need instruments
You know how many times I replayed that COOL octave drop of Matt it's amazing
I grew up with the original but this was knocked out of the park, through a couple of windows and landed in a bakery. Nice cover!
Lets hear a Rush cover..K thanks :)
Alguem do Brasil??🇧🇷🇧🇷
Beautiful voices.
Is this Accapella?
Pham Quoi yes, they are an a cappella band
How many hundreds of hours of practice went into these 4 minutes of video?
They are angels
Great! I dedicate it to memory of Mer of Gdansk, Piotr Adamowicz killed in 2019
🙏👏👏👏👏👏👏🙏
Nah... David Draiman killed this song....
E in Italia...I neri per caso
I 💚 Pentatonix! Their voices...OMG!!!
So what's your vocal range?
Pentatonix: ...Yes
Very beautiful!
Através de minha pessoa itajai santa Catarina curte essa bela música Parabéns obrigado . ( itajai- sc )
Beautiful 😍
Just fantastic! Love it.💖💖💖
My god! I'm hooked.
Was für Talente ! Einfach wunderschön , stark und unglaublich!
I hate every cover of this song... except this one!
Love it can't get enough 💖
How can anyone keep a dry eye when listening to this, or any other, version of this song? Answer: Not easily.
Only those who hear without listening... And that apparently is surprisingly many judging by comments to this song. Some only hear a beautiful song and do not reflect upon the deeper meaning, ironic since that is exactly what the song is about :).
Too true...and it has an even deeper meaning in the current era...
Tell her that she should make a song about Alvin
Does the girl has a son named Alvin
Eva Leal no, she does not have kids
The beginning of the song isn't the same without Avi. He would of made that sound 10 times better!
Good of the music♥️♥️🤗
they should try now with the condor happens from the same authors Simón & Garfunkel
Pena que não dá pra curtir 1000 vezes !!
That coat.
che fin che la fai ul jesü criscto che u cantava in "Halleluja"?
Красиво)
Awesomeness
What a range of voices. Ptx never ceases to amaze. Legendary take on a legendary song.
I'm speechless thanks for sharing
I love this. I've seen them 2x wish I could see them again.
Matt... The lower octave was jst wow..........
Reading all these posts....Do any of you know what the song represents...PTSD
Chuck Roden Jr it has many meanings to many people. According to one interview with Paul Simon he wrote it in regards to teenage angst
💛💛💛
А где делся бородатый?
Never knew Keither Sutherland could beatbox....
I'm a fan, but they ruined this one. The lyrics paint a dark and disturbing picture of a dystopian destiny. Turing it into joyous, uplifting celebration totally misses the whole point of the song. Yes, they can sing, and yes, it's an interesting arraignment, but this interpretation is utterly ridiculous.
SunPower Guru it’s not joyous, it’s pleading and hopeful.
This is surely the best of them all
Who is the newest member. He is equally good as well
Thomas od Matt Sallee has been the bass since 2017. Everyone else is original to the group
Magnifiques voix ! J'adore ....♥️
Shallow & just piggybacking on the emotion of the song so shallow pop music fans may FEEL less shallow—still just hearing but not listening to the deeper meaning will always perfectly describe pop music fans—hence why pop music lyrics are insufferably shallow & on average use Kindergarten level vocabulary. And btw all the singers similar hand gestures annoying as hell—& was that a minority Joe Dirt representing😜
son excelentes me gustan mucho cantan espectacular. 👍🌷
So sad avi left before they performed this
Leave this song alone leave it to the Jews to sing 🎶 disturbed does this song justice psalms 88 and 58:8-9 is where this song was derived from and don’t replace neon gods with neon lights
Yeah, their voices are all PHENOMENAL... But who else thinks Kirstin's voice is a GIFT to humanity?💗
God: how much talent do you want?
Pentatonix: yes
Me: they took it all
Me: ;'(
Que bello
I am 70 years old and heard many groups in my day who I really liked, but, I have to admit in all those years no singing group has ever touched me the way your group has. I love the sound effects but especially
the feeling you put into the songs. I listen to the Sound of Silence and feel the fear also The Little Drummer Boy, WOW! I mean I feel like I was there. Thank you, keep making those great songs I actually believe if everybody in the world listened to your music you would actually bring peace to mankind. Only one complaint, I listen to your songs every night before bed and many nights I stayed up late because I just want to hear one more song and one more, etc.
James Hergan I love reading comments like this. Thank you for sharing!
Perfect ❤️❤️
Amen xxx
Amazing
you've revived the song 😍
can you come to my house and pruform
That was awesome, goosebumps
THey need 3 hot girls and you can have to dudes with too much hair going on.. IT work without being lame
wait what happened to the deep voice guy?! its been so long since ive caught up with these guys, he would have been so perfect for this song! Not that its bad at all, its still amazing
Alex Salter he went solo in 2017
Putain c'est beau...👍👍
Kd o Avi
Kd o Avi
The only thing lower than matt's voice is my confidence
@FemMechanic 18 ?
@Superwholockfanatic 999 Why would your confidence be so low though? Maybe it's just a joke and I'm overthinking this.
@FemMechanic 18 because i ~hate~ myself ✌
@Superwholockfanatic 999 Oh. Have a good life then.
@FemMechanic 18 will do thanks
To be honest, I feel like Matt is a Baritone but could pass as a Bass. His voice shines better when he is in the Baritone range. That's why people compare his Bass vocals to Avi's bass. Avi shone best on Bass because he is mainly a Bass then Baritone. Either way, I love it both. No problem.
God showered them with so much talents and skills
2:32
Matt: Doing his thing
Kristin: Words!!!
Scott: Words!!!
Mitch: Words!!!
Kevin: Kah!!!
Matt: bumm!!!

And hold them it up in the air people, now it's the time
Hello darkness, my old friend
I've come to talk with you again
Because a vision softly creeping
Left its seeds while I was sleeping
And the vision that was planted in my brain
Still remains
Within the sound of silence
In restless dreams I walked alone
Narrow streets of cobblestone
'Neath the halo of a street lamp
I turned my collar to the cold and damp
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light
That split the night
And touched the sound of silence
And in the naked light I saw
Ten thousand people, maybe more
People talking without speaking
People hearing without listening
People writing songs that voices never share
And no one dared
Disturb the sound of silence
"Fools, " said I, "You do not know
Silence, like a cancer, grows
Hear my words that I might teach you
Take my arms that I might reach you"
But my words, like silent raindrops fell
And echoed in the wells, of silence
And the people bowed and prayed
To the neon god they made
And the sign flashed out its warning
In the words that it was forming
And the sign said, "The words of the prophets are written on the subway walls
And tenement halls"
And whispered in the sounds of silence
Give it nice and loud for Mister Myles Kennedy
Scott green pentatonix
Sounds fo sounds Come over
Hoem pentatonix yes
Matt your voice is special.......
