Simon, Paul - 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, 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, 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 shared, and no one dared
To stir the sound of silence

Fool, said I, you do not know, silence, like a cancer, grows
Hear my words and I might teach you, take my arms then 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'd made
And the sign flashed 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

    It was Amazing.. I gave away an extra ticket i bought for my sister for her birthday that didnt wan to come from a grudge. Faite is fate an hipster hippie lady gave the ticket i gave her to her daughter. We had a blast. I bought her some merch and tolder her about my friend jimmie / jim Beckstead. who fought for you and me in Nam. Volunteered 4 tour's. He was so loving and giving. And my gift was from him to you to enjoy this.

  76. b.... ....

    Silence when you sing 🎤 it is so beautiful 😍 the audience is so wonderful they are singing to you ✨❤️

  77. M.... R....

    *2019 ??*

  78. R.... O....

    Most people loved that song because of the original tone,, but when it played not the same tone, it may not be so good to hear..

  79. C.... B....

    Great Paul!

  80. m.... ....

    Studied the lyrics of this song in class some 50 years ago, It has stayed with me, haunted me and continues to give me meaning half a century on. It reveals significance with every visitation. That, is art!

  81. M.... B....

    Was at this concert and yes it was just as awesome as it looks on the tube, amazing song, amazing artist

  82. s.... t....

    That solemn moment of the setting sun and the song amazing

  83. S.... W....

    Nope. I don't like this rendition. Skip.

    S.... W....

    Why? Because of Art's absence?

    S.... W....

    Rod96 No. I prefer Simon without Garfunkel.

    S.... W....

    @Sean Webb Hahaha that's what I'm asking. Paul Simon wrote the song, the only thing missing is his ex-partner Art Garfunkel..

    S.... W....

    @Rod96 Nope. It is not the only difference.

  84. g.... ....

    Some people I wish I had lived forever. Paul Simen you are one of them!

  85. A.... ....

    I guess I was 9 years old when I first your songs. It was something about a tape recorder and something about a bridge over troubled waters. And then there was a silence and a condor.
    You were my hero!

    You sang and I had no idea about what you were singing and why.
    But I was hooked.
    God bless you Paul Simon together with your friend Art.
    Today I'm 57 and still I weep upon hearing your songs.


    God bless you.

  86. t.... m....

    Where is Mr Garfunkel?

  87. K.... M....

    So special.

  88. J.... A....

    Your spirit is divine and I thank you from my hearts light within, my family has had you in there lives as many have and what a lucky life it is for you to grace us with your enlightening words and awesome voice, I am starting to post and share my views of nature and skies with some light hearted fun and would love to use the last third of A bridge over troubled water in a post as the words are how I feel and would love to express that to my small community of viewers who also have the love for all life around them, it is inspiring just like you are I do know your super busy but if by chance you read this and all who do, I send you blessings of compassion and joy to be with and around you always.

  89. S.... ....

    Don't really like this version.. I hate when they take a great song and kinda "frank sinatra" it. It is a very beautiful and dramatic song, and this just feels like he's tired of doing it and slogs

  90. l.... d....

    Zo mooi

  91. S.... G....

    Paul Simone you are a star and a good human being. Thank you for giving Kodi Lee permission to sing your Master piece. A bridge over troubled waters😍😍😍😍😍💋💯👏👏👏👏👏
