22 people are so wrong. I was born in 1984. I wish I was born 30 years earlier so I could experience this music. This is music. two men, instruments and vocals. No "Boom boom"! My Late dad's favorite song. Love you dad and miss you loads. :-)
This song makes me sad. Reminds me of a man who taught me a great deal, including bringing me the knowledge i never knew existed. Common sense and mystery of what was and thoughts of things to come. I never knew of this song before him. We laid him to rest in the year of 2009. Rest In Peace my friend.
There is a good reason to hit dislike on this vid. It makes you realise just what a magical time in music you missed out on by being born too late... At least I had the 90's before the internet took away all the enchantment.
Good music isn't dead, just harder to find. Back in the day you could find the greatest music around by turning on the T.V. or radio. Today you gotta dig deep, you'll find it. Just sift through the bullshit. P.S. Simon and Garfunkel are incredible.
Such exquisite and perfect harmonies. Hauntingly beautiful yet simple guitar. And deeply moving lyrics. Truly one of the greatest songs ever recorded.
It's just amazing and unbelievable to see how two men and one guitar can project an excellent image, sing great and dress like men unlike the new generation of clowns who scream and smash guitars to hide their lack of talent.
I have only listened to TWO SONGS by these guys and already i think i like them better than the Smothers Brothers...
I bet none of the people at my school know who the hell Simon and Garfunkel even are, they're al into rap and so oblivious to all the classic musicians of the late 20th century. They don't know what they're missing out on
I normally hate the nostalgic comments because if you search there is still a lot of good and serious music nowadays, but what i really don't like at my time is the fact that people allways need to be entertained by a performance. Most can hardly imagine going to a non classic concert where you sit and listen. So you have to play load and without punctuations or pauses. That is killing the sound of silence.
You are very gentle, people who dislike this just have garbage instead of a brain... the don't understand anything about talnt, about skill, about creating, they know nothing, I'm sure they just love facebook and msn and cellphones and they just think of nice cars; it's too sad, nothing like the 60's mostly in England, real music, real talent and real CONCEPT. I'm sure people who don't like this don't have music talent at all.
best night ever was sitting around a campfire with me and a mate playing this song, and everyone else randomly harmonizing with us on the 'sound of silence' part (they didn't know the words), beautiful night, beautiful song.
@Rocketman1337z you siad cant believe my parrents used to listen to this crap but yet you are on here commenting on this vid why you here if you dont like it no1 cares what you think about this song i bet you still sing into a hair brush lisening to barbie girl faggot dont post stupid shit
J'adore cette chanson, c'est une prière du plus profond du coeur et ceci, j'admire Paul Simon relate du GÉNIE et, ceci est extraformidable que cette chanson restera pour l'éternité Bravo Paul Simon
@deadmanAstroNubZz far from it; there is a massive memory filter on old music, you only remember the good songs, so it seems like music used to be better than it is now.
This is absolutely my favorite song on the planet, it speaks to me like no other music can. It makes me think about my past and my old troubles in life and helps me get through new ones.
This is absolutely my favorite on the planet, it speaks to me like no other music can. It makes me think about my past and my old troubles in life and helps me get through new ones.
How do you go from this to the performance they did of this song at Monterey Pop in only one year? It's like they transformed from '50s mainstream into '60s counterculture overnight.
Youtube won't let me post the link to the Monterey video, but it should be in the "suggestions" if you're interested.
im a young black male from the rougher sides of town and I can appreciate this music so lets break the stereo typing. All it takes is a little bit of an open mind. This is GREAT music, and should be treated as such.
Wow, back when you actually had to have talent. Just think about that......... no studio sound, no sound tracks, just a guitar, microphone and your voice, maybe drums.
@sonuEEE yeah,I heard it for the first time quite recently...People should provide us with such songs, not britney and shakira and beyonce and lady gaga.I mean as good as they are, we SHOULD first learn to appriciate such songs as these...
@ValkyrionxXx why jonas brothers? you sir don't make any sense. this wasn't even funny. I do not like the jonas brothers but that doesn't make me talk shot about them for no reason. you really should be ashamed. this has been a comment. peace out.
