sound of silence

[fernandorene1994]

THIS IS THE BEST SONG OF THE WORLD!!!!

[przebieglabrukiew]

I get the feeling that over 11 million views is my doing.

This is the best version they ever played. LOVE IT

[Jukebox36O]

Pillowy Mounds of mashed potatoes.

[tmge6l6l6l]

Now, I'm watching the movie "The Graduate."

It is theme song, you know?

In addition, The movie I'm watching is Blu-Ray DVD Version.

That's really Awesome! That's all.

[djembe85]

the songs message is very depressing. this song should be be the anthem of generations. this songs sums up SOPA and ipaa and the even more evil ACTA

[edger428]

Anyone who give this song a thumbs down just baffles me...

[ifinoxonifi]

Epic face turn at 02:06

[tapinakis]

Πανέμορφο κομμάτι σε ταξιδεύει

[maccamikeM]

one of my all-time favorites, the sliding bass on the hit single version is incredible.

[gillangloverpace]

great song,,,,check out the song "AMERICA"

[aekoriginale21]

the best sound..

[EvilJ67]

Proof that music can soothe the savage beast! I'm a punk/metalhead, and after listening to this song I am completely mellow. To all you haters, get a life. Remember the old saying, if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all!

[WannabeLyricist]

I love the dark enigmatic quality of Paul Simon, he is visually very photogenic and a compelling player. That combined with the angelic quality of Art Garfunkel's voice and you have this timeless combination.

I'm 22 and how F***ing glad am I that somehow as a girl, fate and my own personal taste threw me in the path of these two glorious individuals. If the world ever runs out of soul Someone Play a Simon and Garfunkel track, all the soul the world needs can be found there.

[onlywhenpissed]

@mrbabblehead Lol. I can't believe you took the bait on my comment. All too easy.

[deboraeael]

Da Broke Fraser é muuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuito melhor!!!

[berthajoadams]

the words of the prophets are written on the subway walls --very 12 monkeys:)

[onlywhenpissed]

Good too see their homosexuality was accepted even back in those days. Good music.

[mrbabblehead]

@onlywhenpissed Seriously man, do you just shit things out of your ass so you can come back and stare at it with a twisted sense of satisfaction? Where did you get your information from.....they both have been married for many years and have children.

[IINabs]

YOUR MY BOY BLUE!



[mikesnow232]

true silence is the voice of reason. it is the voice of truth. Moments in which one can reflect are truly beautiful. even one's loneliness can be reconciled by appreciating the silence. I've been chronically depressed for a while, and these kinds of songs mean the world to me. for another great "lonely" song, also look up "June by Genry Gene"

[WannabeLyricist]

@mikesnow232 Thanks for articulating how I feel! :)

[lamaymusic]

@mikesnow232 i hear you...

[shallowdrak]

@mikesnow232 Cartman would destroy you... Hippie

[Indeverment]

@shallowdrak

ohh sheeet watch out theres a bad ass here!

[TheForrest1996]

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

[mickeybourke]

393 people are WRONG

[IvegotsomeapplLululu]

Great talent, but that's not an excuse for bad haircuts ( 2:49 ) :P

but seriously, great song, lyrics, and harmony, one of my favorites

[markovicp10]

Imagine this song in Johnny Cash's voice! Should be amazing

[heavydea1]

@FlatLand43 simply amazing...still leaves me with goose bumps.

[sierria64]

SHOWS THAT IN THE DAYS WHEN THIS WAS NEW AND FRESH... ARTIST COULD SING... THEY SOUND WONDERFUL

[MidnightQueller]

Goddammit that harmony is amazing

[minafl1]

This version has the best sound, you really get to appreciate their voices. It never looses it's power

[JustTheChorus]

392 people can't hear the sound of silence that we all can

[giniluv68]

Wow. Just an awestruck wow. Nothing before or since comes close.

[mrbabblehead]

Great song from two artists who contributed to society with their music......Paul's guitar playing is great. So much rhythmic contrast and the accents in his playing shows his confidence and mastery of his instrument.

[AssesinoCereal]

The sound of 240p.

[stycks32]

This is musical talent at it's best. Like FlatLand43 said, written decades ago, still so beautiful and amazing, pick one song nowadays that you hear on the radio that will be like that. You can't. I wish i was born in their time.

[Blakazzkkklown]

its too short! my finger hurts from raping the replay button

[NinjaaarPC]

WATCHMEN.

[christianrockbass]

@NinjaaarPC The Graduate ;) That's THE MOVIE!!!

[Olimogtaba]

@NinjaaarPC THE GRADUATE.

[vincentca2004]

RON PAUL 2012!!!!!! Research the JFK of the 21st century. Do not be swayed by the media. He will bring real change!!

[patrickh1776]

@vincentca2004 RE: RON PAUL 2012 , HE IS MOST LIKELY EVIL !

do not be distracted by the beautiful People.

[vincentca2004]

@patrickh1776 Do you even know the man? By the way you phrased your answer, does not seem like it. Do a youtube search, you will not be disappointed.

[Litterboxer529]

@vincentca2004 Why are politics being brought into this video again? I mean, I know the song is about JFK, but really, come on. This is about music.

[vincentca2004]

@Litterboxer529 Some wise person said that a revolution needs young people and music ;). As long as i am free to spread the message of peace, freedom and Individual rights i will do it for my and your own good. Peace! :)

[realmaniek]

Piękny kawałek...

eat a pork pie in the morning you clowns

[patrickh1776]

@39manpat Art and Paul dont LIKE pork ! duhh...........

[Ravxge]

I love the guitar at 0:27 <33

[schvemler93]

no entiendo como puede haber una sola persona en el mundo que no le guste esta canción

[yant0san]

This is one of the best chilling songs....fags and non fags alike ;) ;)

[chilliam00]

I'm a hippie :D

[GameHydra]

Hello 240p my old friend...

[Haight27Ashbury]

@shallowdrak

Hello, sweet princess, were you looking 4 me?!

Your acronym implies, " swallowing dick?!

But I only do chicks, if you're a dude, then I know why you're angry ...

Oh, You're a dude aren't you?! Gross :P

You're on here because because you can't get chicks or you're gay trolling 4 dudes!

Don't worry bro, I don't have anything against faggots. The more faggots there are in the world, the more chicks 4 me :)

By the way, "Silence" means " DEATH "

Take the dick out your mouth & learn!

[davidmvdg10]

This song was louder than I originally anticipated...

[CourtMcCartyisGay]

Chuck Norris is about to bitch slap 391 people

[Eh2Zedbananaz]

[anu7ho]

I have this poem as my homework.

[flyvibe71]

i was rocking out to joan jett, and now i'm here. proof that there are time warps.

[MrMarlinso]

geil

[zicojr10]

the most remarkable music of all time in my opinion love it (awesome)

[caloy2x]

One of my all time favorite, still intriguing to hear the lyrics and melody of this song.

[herotiramisu]

i truly love this song, although i m not from the english speaking background, but this song sooth my pain and make me feels peaceful, none of other songs have this magic to me

[Alienhunter12345]

wie jeder den sound of Germany mist jezt lieber mag

[boxerin3000]

Behnam moghadam sang es viel besser

[nodinodi11]

behnam moghaddam ist der beste :D

[450teamsuzuki]

too deep for soft rock...they have their own genre

[ARunawayTrain]

@stations44 Perhaps...but it was really moreso chronicling the internalization of the tragedy that beset the American public and obviously most directly John F. Kennedy in November of 1963. Americans felt afraid to speak of their feelings regarding it or the apprehension they felt because of it. Hence the sounds of silence...people talking without speaking, says it all without actually saying it. Garfunkel and Simon penned a true classic.

[madcat789]

I perfer the sound of needlers.

[mmrp1965]

great song great times saludos desde EL SALVADOR

[LaburnumDorado]

I wish I had seven thumbs up to give, sadly I can spare only one.

[23hairnation]

great song, but unfortunatly, my high school english teacher ruined it for me by making us study and disect the lyrics for poetry. will never forgive her for ruining the song for me

[martharoyce]

@23hairnation

Faith! I know how you feel.

[stations44]

Wow.Predicting the turbulent '60s.

[jon2kx]

Amazing song.

[ianwienpien]

really good sound quality for an old video

[poisonegde]

this song have so many versions... but this one still the best with diference

[KillerSnopy]

damm thats a old video.....but i love it

[adrianlindsaylohan]

The Graduate

[tommcarthur]

@adrianlindsaylohan haha fuck the watchmen its all about the graduate and the sound of silence

[martharoyce]

@murphy54000

I couldn't agree more. I'm Wiccan (Pagan) and the Wiccan Rede which is our version of the bible (only it's shorter and is written in rhyme and fits on one page telling us how to behave) says " Soft of eye and light of touch, speak ye little and listen much". This song reminds me of that.

[Twistvenue]

@murphy54000 I got goosebumps reading that :/ awesome! :D

[rbrrtx]

@murphy54000 very profound to say the least

[ADEMruinedmylife909]

@murphy54000 Indeed it is true that "words are silver but silence is golden".

[shallowdrak]

@murphy54000 Young and foolish break silence you say... For generations people have been forced into silence and left their voices unheard by evil men TYRANTS!... REBELLION IS NECESSARY TO PURIFY THE UNJUST REBELLION!!! RIOT!!! The greatest people in history struggled ohh so much to be heard and you say those who break silence are fools... You are a fool hippie a damn fool.. V FOR VENDETTA!!!

[murphy54000]

@shallowdrak It so seems that you are the foolish, for you seek entertainment, and not Wisdom, or to teach.

The greatest people in history struggled to be heard because the ignorant world snuffed their single voices.

Silence allows those who speak to be always heard; there is no silence if their voice can't be heard in the first place.

Therefore, your comment is incorrect and point goes to me.

[shallowdrak]

@murphy54000 V for Vendetta!!! V FOR VENDETTA!!! LIVE FREE OR DIE HARD!!!! ENEMY MINE!!!THE DARK KNIGHT!!!!! now that im done mentioning good movies... Umm right like cartman once said FUCK YOU HIPPIE!!!

[judgedreed2000ad]

@murphy54000 you sound like an asshole and it's funny you try to sound wise but call wise people

[murphy54000]

@judgedreed2000ad And you sound completely stupid, considering that your sentence wasn't even fully formed. Come back after you've fully thought your counter arguments through?

[FlatLand43]

Even though it was written and recorded decades ago, there is something that scares and disturbs me about this. Now that's talent.

[Pantoflingos]

@FlatLand43 itvis the sad truth that scares u.

[ollyolly85]

Haha guystoners comment, you dick head if its crap music and gay 'like the generation that came with it' then why did you search for it? Twat

[izaiahisback]

..............Ron paul....... 2012?

[guystoners]

I made it 388 - this music is gay and the generation that came with it

[doostierose1217]

@guystoners lol thats why your known by guystoners...how original

[poisonegde]

@guystoners in mi country we named people like you "canis", maibe you must start to lisend REAL music, if you dont want to do this... GET THE FUCK OFF !gtfo!

[martharoyce]

@guystoners

My mother and father adored this, particularly my mother and they were both born in the fifties. How dare you! Neither are gay and gay is an old word meaning "happy" so shut up and don't watch this if you don't like it.

[EchoNiiner]

@guystoners And our current generation isn't?

[staggo3000]

justin bieber thumbed this down 387 times because he doesnt understand real music

[ThisMeansWarRecords]

We're an independent label trying to make it in this game and the best way to do that is by being more known on youtube.One of the ways we stand out is we help unsigned artists get more fans by uploading their songs for a new fan base

You can change our future with one simple click.

Please thumbs up so other people can see this and check out our channel and comment with feedback if you like,also if you think we could improve.

If you like check the other artists we have over 90 vids up!

Cheers!

[swanderer01]

so true.especially today,just look around at all the neon signs screaming today and thank the stars for silence....

[purplepineapple311]

Amazing song. The lyrics are pure poetry. I don't feel right growing up in the generation I'm growing up in.

[ihateme124]

387 people are silent(dead)

[gabymichellee]

So beautiful

[rosebudines]

387 must remain in silence forever.

[chrisjlat]

50 years since this song was produced in 1961 and number one in January. Amazing.

I watched the recent version of this song with aged Simon and Garfunkel. Amazing.

We won't have such gift musicians around for much longer, and then "Silence."

[TheRammstein101]

genial, saludos desde Argentina!

[marketwizz]

One of 10,000,000 + Favorites. This song I tagged when I was a pilot in some strange place and alone walking down a dark street.

[TylerGDaniels]

i play this song while i'm walking through an airport terminal

[DrSlick138]

This Song get more deep toe as I get older. But unlike me it never gets old, it's a timeless classic,

[sebz61]

Great song. Merry Xmas!! & a happy new year ya filthy animal

[musiclover6492]

youtube. putting a thumbs down on this video. silly! I second itsMinuteMaid's sentiment :)

[nicholasomesfilms]

Long live Art and Paul

[wietskecoenen]

nothing but love

[kokosz33]

Old music and todays music are like fruit in supermarket. Before the fruit was tasty and natural but not so perfect in its looks. Now the fruit is beatiful but has no taste or smell. What do you think ?

[futuju]

@kokosz33 theres still tasty fruit out there, you just cant get it at the supermarket

[GrStHo]

Play this on my funeral. so damn beautiful!

[zaq4267]

When I lisen to this I don't feel peace. I feel rage. I want to pull, grab, and rip at the fabric of space time, and go back to when music was great.

[TheBrad606]

and the people bowed and prayed to the neon-god they made.

[Intimatycal]

hm, cool song!



[Eminemfan1542]

382 people are muther effer!

[Eminemfan1542]

how can i share this to facebook from my ipad?

[TheDeathofGrace]

good song to listen to alone on an ipod outside at night while walking past neon lights

[TheDeathofGrace]

@sonofthebrickman I am surprised you didn't just recommend, "the only living boy in new york".

[amiaquariusiam]

@sonofthebrickman Glory your maker. Some time's we fill the great winepress, to get us closer. All has drink of that cup. It is good to walk alone sometime's, when you think that no one understand's you. May you grow even morn. May the water's of God be upon you. Who is better to teach you, then man. Been there. Man can make a tail to be so long. But not God.

[dahniuru]

Well expressed. If you can keep finding songs like this one to identify with, other things might start seeming more positive. It works for me. Cheers.

[shallowdrak]

@sonofthebrickman Silence could be that! orrrrr... Just thinking with reason and saneness sorry if it offends you... THE ABSENCE OF SOUND!!! Ohh i said it no deep meaning behind it just the absence of sound! idk just thinking like a smart person would DAMN HIPPIE

[hkadira]

Most peaceful song I have ever heard. When I listen to this I feel harmony and tranquility. Really love this song. Hat's off.

[kenimisoncanada]

Amazing how this song can still cause debate among strangers almost 50 years after it originally charted.

[rahcinella]

haunting but beautiful

[ragingrage2]

brings tears to my eyes sometimes

[TheFishWhat]

O_o I'm in that amazing part of youtube again.

[MenaPaws21]

[Saurabhrh]

381 people were high!!!

[rsohlich1]

@Saurabhrh and the rest were too! Only they had just smoked pot and the people who missed the thumbs up were to down and out and drunk on booze.

[itsMinuteMaid]

Silly YouTube. They accidentally put a Thumbs Down button on this video.

[SenfMann132]

@itsMinuteMaid Oh, your so funny.



[SkinnedLynryd]

@metaldude710 No one knows what it means but it's provocative.

[juliannevillecorrea]

thank you ...

[AllBobsAllTheTime]

Always loved this one - the poetry is so over-the-top bad that it's great!!! Kind of like Ginsberg's Howl for Carl Solomon.

[AJTbayBE]

You've gotta f*ckin dart in your neck!!

[JRidberg1]

Love.

[karolinkab3]

Bardzo mi się podoba ta piosenka.Bardzo bardzo pozytywnie ocieniam.Takie piosenki to są wspomnienia z tamtych lat.Szkoda, że już nie wrócą.Co to da jeżeli będę się modlić do Pana Boga jeżeli już się nie cofnie czasu.Piękny utwór.

[oldsoul247]

Amongst the noice is the world a melody still rings

[MetalThrashinMad91]

11 million views? o.O

That seems a little high for a Simon and Garfunkel song...

[MrWhiteBlur]

@MetalThrashinMad91 seems a little low to me.

[medaldude710]

what does this song even mean!?!?!?

[yvmora]

@medaldude710 I think it's about not speaking up when you should, for remaining silent when you see oppression and suffering, and ignoring those who cry for help. For such a noisy place, no one really listens to anyone else in this world. No one listens and no one wants to help. That's the "feeling" I get from it. Maybe I'm putting too much thought into it but it makes me feel a bit sad, and that I should "listen," and stop being so selfish. If no one listens, it's silence.

[nicksummers96]

@axwhole the song you're thinking of is Dust in the Wind by Kansas

[1407Fatima]

perfect!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[kungfuseadog]

Story of my life.

J'aime, j'aime, j'aime ♥♥

[danny156wc]

What are these comments about here?? I would have expected comments on this video. It is still a great classic, and I will probably like it forever.

[newsleaker1]

gay song

[Geotubest]

The dislikes were from people who forgot to turn the volume on.

[TonyDanza4Lyfe]

The Godfather, I know you were good, BUT THE GRADUATE WAS THE GREATEST MOVIE OF ALL TIME...OF ALL TIME!

[1337w0n]

Sound example of perfect song.

[atticbasementattic]

I know people are against this censorship shit, but I don't know if it's okay you are making money off of 15 second ad on these guys singing.

[ctwomey]

@atticbasementattic Ad? I don't see any ad. Oh, that's right! I have AdBlocker. Heh.

[wackyfella1]

how could one person dislike this let alone 380??

[mingmingruxu]

great 。i like this sound ，full of saidness

Greatest example of the best decade ever in music...the '60's! I'm an old sick
