Simon & Garfunkel-Sounds Of Silence (studio)

[joshmarsh1]

I love grunge, its my type of music, but when it comes to going to sleep, its always this, great song.

[nmbr1Weersfan]

How do 16 people dislike this video?? They must have been on their way to a Lil Wayne concert or something... Idiots

[TaperTomStrizak1959]

This was my grade school graduation song. As we sang it, I had no idea how prophetic and timeless it was. Today I understand it's message and hear the great American sound of silence.

[jmr348]

@TaperTomStrizak1959

You're living in a time of endless wars, endless federal tyranny, corporate bailouts for the priviliged class, and a ballooning federal debt. We are printing money like the Weimar Republic in Germany which led to the rise of Adolf Hitler. Our Congress is debating a defense authorization bill that says American citizens can be detained on American soil without cause by the military. Few are saying let alone doing anything about this. Whoever picked this song nailed it.

[superted1968]

dreams are beter than nothing.

[Desperadounico]

If this isnt a hippie song then I dont know what is.

[WildFlower436]

You MUST check out A Cub Bellas version of this song.... unreal!

[nooyawkfun]

Ah, turntable. Brings back childhood memories of listening to this on vinyl.

[Wilk1993xD]

Zgwałciłem przycisk Replay ;)

[TheSilentcarnage]

Timeless.

[aegrisomnia07]

Is there any way to let Simon & Garfunkle know just how profound they are??

......I hear you words, your arms have reached me...I never want to reside in the realms of silence. Thus I talk to speak, and listen...not just hear.

[VITRUVVII]

This song is so beautiful that hurts!

[ZiSt1989]

how this only has ~270k views, and plonkers like Hanna Montana and this Beiber fag count millions and millions of views?!

world is truly unfair :|

[Desperadounico]

@ZiSt1989 I'd say it's because there's no gimmick here. People are used to commercialism now a'days they wouldn't know good music if it came up to them and slapped them in the face. But this really is a beautiful song, the kind of song that makes you reflect on life no matter how old or young you are.

[castersugarman]

The tempo changes in this song just add this beautiful human element. It's hard not to yearn for the return of music like this. Stunning song.

[roskam001d]

''Hello Grampa my old friend'' I love that Simpsons song; so glad I found the

real one :-)

[64098]

This and the original 1964 version are major '60s masterpieces. Thanks for adding this to the collection!

[IH8BIEBER]

ok well this is gettin old same comments for a week this need to be top everything all the time so thumbs up the video, not the comment then add to favorites... and hope people will stop with the flame wars long enough to enjoy the music. and for the love of god, post some good comments about the song, the way it changed you life, how the nostalgia wells up anything make the world feel how you feel share your emotions and always enjoy the music never stop enjoying what you like.

[dearymesunny]

way to go ......

[TheJlew36]

14 people are freaking RETARDS

[Helldiv3rr]

First heard it when I was 8.

It's been almost 9 years since I heard it last... brings back memories :)

[shavoisgod]

I first heard this when I was watching 'The Watchmen' and it's played over the funeral of The Comedian, I got obsessed with it after I heard it then

[whiterabbit75]

14 people can't hear the sounds of silence.

[fedaykin21]

I love how vintage this sounds

[therealvaliantthor]

@fedaykin21 I hope I sound this good when I'm vintage...

[HQFOX2]

thumbs up ruined youtube for me....

[thikapuhnuh]

i have never lost that "first tme thrill" from this song. it will always be a top five song of importance to me. and i'm 58

[SophiaLaiho]

I could listen the bass very good!!!

[PlaneAndTVtechfan]

Why are some people making negative comments about the sound quality? With Simon and Garfunkel, it's about the LYRICS. Some people IMHO, get so spoiled with the pristine sound of today's CD's and MP3 players. I guess some people here are too young to remember vinyl records and how they sound.

[maxspal]

Paul Simon should be Poet Laureate of the United States. His words are amazing whether sung or spoken.

[nantelen]

watch?v=mCQfvsnk5IU hello everyone! enjoy this song with HQ sound and lyrics! <3

[Vorgaak]

hi im 12 what is this

[RaWrrr095]

@Vorgaak

WTF?

[Garion1227]

I am glad we have the internet and sites like Youtube so that the younger kids out there can hear and learn what real music is and learn what it means to have a talent to share with the world.

[mrovelino]

@Garion1227 golden words

[RaWrrr095]

@Garion1227

but the kids of today don't need the internet to hear this.

im 15 and i love this song, cuz my mother hasa cd from simon and garfunkel. i can't stop hearing when i was little and today too ;))

[Garion1227]

@RaWrrr095 You are one of the lucky ones then!

[Jostipi]

Good song but too bad that the sound is fucked up.

[PlaneAndTVtechfan]

@Jostipi It's an old VINYL record. The way people used to hear music before CD's came out.

[crysstew]

A very powerful and beautiful song,it sends a chill down the spine and makes me wish I were born twenty years earlier,nice work beerrox711;)

[mirabal36]

regarding poor qaulity, this is not the issue of this video. Its about Simon & Garfunkel, bringing us into a time and era; and how it felt back then you can just close your eyes and experience the moment of that time. I could just see my sister walking with her white go go boots, to school and her beautiful bumble bee hair do, and her long eye lashes, wow and the rally marches, what a time. A time when people cared, and spoke about what they were feeling.

[SergeiMikhaus]

@mirabal36 i hate being born within the last 20 years, all I can do is watch videos with nostalgic frustration at what I would have loved.

The decades of my life are utter shit, I can only dream of the 60's.

[SkilledCobbs]

@SergeiMikhaus Ahh but sir, even in times of utter shit, people, and life for that matter, can still come through. Sorry for the run-on sentence, but just keep your confidence and stop thinking about it, simply because that usually makes things worse than they are. Have a good one.

[BUTCHESBOY]

@SergeiMikhaus love it anyway.......it's alright.......if you get that......you get the 60's

[mikesb79]

Thanks for posting this!!! Love this song!!!

[titusjewell]

tracking errors, poor sound quality

[vargollo]

@titusjewell that gives is the mystic

[louswire]

@titusjewell the quality of the song shines through the quality of the recording.

[kimipan8]

eternal song!

[leeroy2000y]

this song gives me chills with all the harmonies they do and the live versions in my opinion are better than the studio versions.

[Allenoxxe]

the lonlyness of this, the solitude that can not be bridged... few songs go where this one takes us.

[Flyboy207]

@Allenoxxe This, and The Boxer, are my defining songs. This one more so.

[mercuryandzeppelin1]

BELLA CANZONE.

[PonyfacioStupidVids]

makes me cry

[4gtg4]

Still one of the most poverfull songs alive.

[fecongoht]

[finalfantasyextreme]

Amazing song :(...Just heard it on the simpsons (obviously the parody version ) and just had to listen to this, just then fell in love with this song.

[ZammyBomb]

@davesfarmfan121 Man, nobody cares what your age is, nobody is gonna say, "Oh, he´s only 14 and he likes music from 1964, ooh" no man, if you like it good 4 u, you are not like the idiots who like gaylord bieber and transmorpher gaga, but please, please, stop thinking someone who you donñt know is gonna like you because being a youngster listening to old music.

[time4action101]

@ZammyBomb ... I was a bit more than a child, maybe 10 (I'm 58 today)... 'cobblestone', a pain the neck to change, as the city (Providence, RI) had to dig---big time, anyhow I found one of the few 'pain in the neck' cobblestone streets left and walked down it humming this to mysellf...-:) & snunk into see the "Graduate" not much later... 'kids' couldn't go to see that 'material back then...

[111tag111]

@davesfarmfan121 faggot

[tawj66]

@111tag111

faggot ? Why the fuck do you bother making a comment at all. You really don't get the sharing community spirit at all do you. If you don't like a song, and the type of people who listen to that genre, don't waste our time with your stupidity.

[111tag111]

@tawj66 I like the music I just dislike the little kids who love to smoke weed and tell the world about it..

[woodstockallways]

@davesfarmfan121 14...? getting high..?! wow! But i like your taste in music :D

[yoyoyodog100]

@davesfarmfan121 fuck you

[JimInFlames]

if you dont cry when you listen to this song you dont have feelings

[em3rica89]

[jakepoop333]

I don't. I want to, but I can't... FUCK YOU, QUIT JUDGING ME!!!

[killerlavaman]

how bout a tear drop

[MikeDillon003]

really? guess im some sort of demon, cause i just thought it was a good song!

[Metaller19]

usuallay im not listenning to this kind of music, but this is a great song!!

[JabberOff]

Especially the last verse.

[JabberOff]

Still powerful.

[wheeler1]

thanks for putting the WHOLE song up! every other video on here that I've seen cuts off the last verse!but, it is a bit faster than the song, I know!lol

[nooyawkfun]

Thanks for the turntable. Reminds me of my youth listening to my older sisters' S&G collection.  I wish I had been old enough to attend and appreciate their concert in Central Park.

[Defiant2Delusion]

Thank you for posting:) great classic

[thepro15]

im 15 & not really a music person, but i saw watchmen & this song and the times they are a changin by bob dylan are truly great songs

[jrussell5]

why did u say ur 15 when on ur profile u say ur 25 and hav a pga tour card?

[UncoRocker]

Cos some people spin shit when they trying to make a point, and more often then not, THEY FAIL

[TheBreakingbejamin]

15 years old and not a music person? :O

What is this world coming too.

[RustyRhino88]

this song is perfect for anything!

[TopNotchStoner420]

This song is perfect for LSD<3

[bassguitarfreek]

Always loved this song. I wish they still made music like they did before my time.

[lukeskywalkerrules]

Same here i always feel i missed my time, what a great song

[straubi1990]

it's just amazing that their live performances of this song are even better than that great studio version...

it's not like today... in these days the artists must be able to sing, today computer's doing most work :)

[soleilnoir89]

i'm twenty now and added the song to my playlist, because i grew up with it and because i adore the artists.

there are some who will keep this music alive, even though the quality should last to do so.

great song - chapeau!

[angelo062367]

great song, what a classic, thanks for posting. i love this song. kids today don't know what great music truely is

[Nikolocalypse]

i agree kids my age are totally ignorant to great music like this i can't stand rap and hip hop

[kham2914]

agreed

[Halfcocked445]

I'm guessin' your parents and grandparents were sayin' the same thing about the music you listened to! Taste is relative my friends...I'm sure kids will tell that same old story to their children.

[DurhamSkateboarding1]

i love this song

[KlausDoitschlaaand]

watchmen ffs

[RustyRhino88]

ive been looking for the version with the drums ever since i seen the watchmen! it makes the song!

[Quincy910]

Yes! Aww yeah. You gotta have the drum beat. Mmmmm

[chm393]

Why do kids argue on commentboards of amazing songs like this? Aren't we supposed to be talking about the music?

[TheUberMuffin]

there is no place for intelligence on youtube

[hadriewyn]

finally! i spent my entire afternoon trying to get THIS version thank you!

[applefrog111]

i agree studio is always better than live

[23flowergirl]

Excellent music, brilliant lyrics. Masterpiece.

[molotov623]

[XxxXBUGIARDOXxxX]

[mwebber69]

Me too, but this is Simon & Garfunkel

[robodude360]

yay 44 secounds

[Intrafacial86]

Amidst all of the covers and live versions, I finally find the original.

Thank you for uploading this. I hop it reaches the top of the list.

5/5

[virgy45]

My favorite song when I was a child. This may be a dumb question, but is this recording made from that record? If it is, that is an amazingIy well-preserved record.

[beerrox711]

yes it is and "it would have sounded better if id used a direct drive" as some one suggested very early on

[virgy45]

No, beer, just listened to this again, and I don't see how it could be better. Maybe since it was from an album that I so often listened to it, perhaps it is its authenticity that makes it better than so-called perfection. No complaints here. 5/5

[sernoserbo]

true poetry

[ebertnroeperfan]

beautiful

[awesomeojoe123]

you're a fag necrohuff....

[semiballpenman]

This song owns apples to the CORE!!

[Psycho5ocial]

[iloveandianddani]

Great song, perfect in that movie Watchmen

[KlausDoitschlaaand]

true! ;)

[uhohlookwhoshere]

In the movie they used a version with a drum part, very similar to this version. I like it a lot better with the extra part.

[Killoea]

[Rebirth2401]
