Simon & Garfunkel - 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 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."

Poignant , magnifique !
Just sheer brilliance, writing & singing
Hello darkness mild friend...
Moja muzyka,wychowałam się na niej
I love this, but disturbed style hit it closer as far as the ambiance of the lyrics goes.
its like that song, Pumped up kicks, the message does't quite match the rhythm.
So schaurig schön und gleichzeitig so traurig
sad affleck brought me here
Some people just listen to music, and never feel it... This is one song, if you listen to it, you feel it....
Sound of Music: *exist
Simon&Garfunkel: I think thats too noisy
*creats Sound of Silence
"People talking without speaking. People hearing without listening", basically sums up the comments section on YouTube videos.
exactly
A beautiful song that was ruined by some artist who thought it was a good idea to remake it
One of the best two part hamronies ever recorded.
the fuck outta here boomers

disturbed's version of this is way better this is too slow for me i know not everyone will agree but thats my opion
it's 2020. never gets old. ❤
😭😭😭😢😢😢😢
Thanks for the tune. 👍
Parçayı bugün keşfettim. Sanki yıllardır dinliyormuşum gibi. İnsanı sonsuzluğa götüren bulut gibi... (04/01/2020)
What a gentle sound.
What soulful voices.
What meaningful lyrics. A genius masterpiece never gets old!!! 💖
Masterpiece...I agree
https://youtu.be/JX4X87QSF0Y a big influence on me.. but not comparing myself to them of course ✌
1964 to 2020,This song never gets old.
listening in 2020 ????
This was my dads favorite song. He always played and listened to this song while he'd drive me to dance or gymnastics. He was always so proud of me and supported my hobbies and talents. 3 years ago he was diagnosed with liver cancer. The doctor told my mother he only had 2-3 years to live. Of coarse she never told me and my little brother until recently. My dad tragically passed away recently. 9/10/2019 to be exact. Its hard to have him gone but i know he isnt in pain anymore. This song has been a huge comfort for me. Its so complex and of coarse it hits close to home. Im planning on learning this song and working on it until im perfect, so I can sing this piece of art whenever I want
That 1 short dancer im so sorry for you and your das, i hope you will feel better. Love from France 🇫🇷 God bless you and yours 🙏
@Exodus thanks so much! I really needed that support today
That 1 short dancer No problem, i will be always here if you need any support 😊🙏
So sorry for your loss. It sounds like you had a special dad. Praying for you. 🥀

My first time ever listening to this song and I gotta say this is nice, really nice tbh
Yea it hits close to home
j ai besoin d'écouter cette chanson, elle me ressource, m'aide à continuer à vivre
"This too shall pass, and This too shall pass, and this too"
Fuck disturbed, this is the only version for me
From what I remember at age 70 this song came out around Christmas time and according to Garfunkel, the song was first developed in November.
David Draiman sounds like a pussy ...

Rest in peace THE COMEDIAN.
Maybe it's because this is the first version I heard I like it better than their later version. Much more pure.
Ориґінал завжди лучче
super velmi
I can still remember when this was released and saw them at the Fillmore East in 65.
The original and best-the version by Disturbed adds emotional colour and anger, where only cold reflective monochrome is appropriate.
Jack Frost x Mavis : Sound Of Silence
"The Sound Of Silence"
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 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
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
No one dare
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”
I just heard this song performed by a group called [ DISTURBED ], it was amazing and powerful!, it felt like the arc angels came down to earth to warn mankind of it's own self - destruction!.
Hello my baby
and it cant even compare to these 2 lads
@Cooper Hughes Cooper, I think the version by Disturbed is powerful!, S&G's version is more haunting!..
Reminds me of walking the streets of Prague at 3am.
listen to the cover by Jadyn Rylee
Obra prima
Русских нету на горизонте?
If they don't play this at my funeral I wont come
Приблизно так я й думаю
*Cough, cough*
Copied comment
*Cough, cough
@Star Prune have you got a cold?
I like this song ...
The mind of democrats; so blind and deaf to American people.
I love both this and disturbed version but disturbed will never come close to how good this is.
Because this is original, and Disturbed is a good copy. Anyway, I think David sung this song good enough.
this song is beautiful
S &G ‘64: a flowing, poetic warning to the world.
Disturbed ‘16: an powerful, angry reissue of that warning.
Both, just epically beautiful.
Most definitely If you haven't, check out the Pentatonix version - excellent as well.
Pentatonix ‘19: the desperate plea to listen after the anger has disappeared.
No se lo que dice la cansion pero se que es Algo sad
Ah, this reminds me of before Watchmen became a trainwreck lol
Круто )
J'adore....
why so dark here?
Last day I had to bring my best friend to an animal shelter. Where he can play with other cats. Where he can be happy I could not give him the best ...I miss him so much And this is such a hard time... this song helps me a little
maravilloso mientras a otros solo les interesa el dinero y el poder
КТО ИЗ РАААШКИ?
I don't speak Russian
@The Chatkid Ты знаешь русский?
Despite all the memes, this is really a beautiful song
The Graduate
Just watched it. Fantastic film.
nearly 2020 and still poyant

Genial et inouïe
Some of my favourite lyrics in this timeless song
Beautiful. The end... ⚘ 14/12/19

Alguém em 2019?
Eu, e ainda e bom demais! (desculpa, so americano e so tenho teclado americano, e estou esquecendo portugues lol) Ja viu a versao que o Disturbed fez? E um remake, mas e otimo! acho que esta cancao vai pertencer a nossa dia pra sempre, ate o fim!
A világ egyik legtehetségesebb párosa!!!!!
like si vienes por el fail de fernanfloo en deadlocked xd
The best version of all
Ace song
Música maravilhosa!
Love this song very much
Silence is maddening..
The silent whispers upon my ears,
The craving of a touch
Words of love
A feeling that I'm being thought of in the heart or mind...
But there is nothing but the void of silence
It's as coolness if a frightening chill
That lays upon the skin penetrating deeper within
The heat of a fiery heart, dampened by the crystals of ice
Prediction of HELL ON EARTH
Bestimmt hat Paul den Song geschrieben! Es schreiben immer Påls die Songs...
Ineffable!Je laisse le silence parler....Merci.
According to all of recorded history, the world has almost always been this way. Good people never have power, never enough to override mass cruelty and oppression. I don't know if any nation on Earth is truly a beacon against the anti-human rights movement.
found out the late Joe South and the late Glen Campbel played guitar on this song the late Hal Blaine was the drummer
UNA DE LAS CANCIONES MAS HERMOSAS DE LA HISTORIA DE LA MUSICA
Best song ever, sad thing thats they grown in a perfect World, after WW2 and they let us the worst world ever made, silence
This is my song Blackhill Toi
Bitch bitch bitch, people just have to have something to bitch about, meme this meme that who cares, it is still a classic LOL!
S&G-would have,with "The Boxer"-maybe 3 songs in my all-time top 100-other artists more,but they-uniquely- have 2 in my top 10,if not top 5-this- and I don't have to tell you the second.
Como amo essa canção amo lembro dó meu primeiro amor que Deus abençoe onde estiver te amo tico
Süper👍
After 50 years we can see what this song means. Everything turning into digital. Even those most important like love and family. We are witnessing it these days.
Once a classic now a meme
Still a classic
Beautiful😍
