Love this song, love S&G, but I find it depressing how many people wax nostalgically and lament the "demise" of music. You're being lazy and listening to what's on your radio instead of searching and asking and listening. For starters check out Death Cab For Cutie and Fleet Foxes, and imagine your ears are as young as they were when you listened to S&G.
@Morkimo -- COMPLETELY. I think it's easier to know in retrospect when music was genius, instead of recognizing that same kind of genius in the present with music being presently made. Also-- people who make statements about the "sad state of music in the world today" are ignoring the influence that them aging has on the perception of the world. I'm 39, and I know I'm not nearly as open and maleable as I was to accepting new/current music as I was when I was younger.
this is one of those songs that instantaiously transports you to another place and time. to this day i can still tell you exactlly where i was and what i was doing when i heard this song for the first time
I love this song,it has been with me since I was a kid but,it also reminds me of one of the worst days of my life.I love listening to it but it also pains me greatly. . . of loss,of grief,of moments I can never take back and will leave an open wound inside me that can never heal.It does make me think that life is a meaningless nightmare.
im 19 and i seem to have grown up in the age when real music died. 95% of the music after 85 is shit. what happen to passion?! Today its all about the money
Do you want to write a song and don't think you can do it? You can. Get a guitar, an acoustic guitar. Now do this. Remove the D string and the high-E strings. This would be the string closest to the floor and the fourth one up from that. Next, tune the remaining strings to F#,C#,C#,F#. ( or GDDG)
What I have just turned you onto is a very easy tuning that is neither Major nor Minor, but is full sounding and covers two octaves.
Fret just 1 or 2 notes and strum, let your voice follow. Fret more
I always thought this song was about being a ghost. Watching over your loved ones but not being able to talk to them or feel them. Being so close yet so far.
the true artists are around, and the Internet will democratize the world of music... it will eventually separate the good from the bad.. it's up to us as consumers of music to make that happen by spending money on the good stuff...
@MASAI97 nope, Im 14 and love them too, Only just remembered when my dad used to play S+G songs in the car and straight away found them on here. Brilliant songs
Isn't it amazing how Paul can make one guitar sound as if it is SO much more than just one instrument. Never ceases to impress. Bet none of these so called "artists" now could even come close.

This ALWAYS has me thinking of Dustin Hoffmann in "The Graduate" - probably because this is the theme song for that film in which Dustin Hoffmann starred in...
that song really relate to the generation ,since computers people are more isolated,now adays,its sad and so afraid to comuicate to each other and the bullying that goes on in scholls is so sad,
but rap is so old its been around since the 70s it so old it boring,,i like regie better,but the music producers seem to think the youth like the crap they put out..there must be some great bands out there who havent got a chance to ,get there music out .,.thank god for youtube,,
Jeeze - where is this performance? The audience looks really unhappy to be there. What a waste - if they only knew what treasures they had in front of them...
Though I do believe everyone is entitled to their own opinion, I don't believe you should generalize today's music as, well, not music. I happen to enjoy a lot of music, as well as certain Simon and Garfunkel songs. I do agree that a lot of rap is a bunch of stupidity wrapped up in garbage, and that certain songs just aren't good. But music is a form of art, and if you know anything about art, there are no bounds. Art has no definition, therefore, neither does music.
Has anyone noticed that music nowadays has no effort? Its techno music that does not sound good. The only techno music I like (this may sound weird coming from a S&G fan) are Aphex Twin. The rest of music is some talentless performer talking into a micraphone. The computer does the rest for them. And what's a musician without talent?
Beautiful song that truly touches the human soul wherever one lives. xraycat30, you are right; where has the real music gone? music that conveyed the feelings that reside in the deepest part of our hearts. I was lucky to have been a teenager in the '60s; we had such diversity in music, in social change, in feeling that our generation could actually make a difference; what happened? Did everyone just sell out? No one has a heart any more and it breaks mine to realize it. Where did the hope go?
It is so telling of America today.We went from qaulity(S&G) to crap(RAP) in such a realitivly short period of time.The culture is sick and only getting sicker.Is there a cure?
@TheVengence1988 yes, i do believe there is still hope! I am fifteen years old, and i first heard sound of silence through the movie Watchmen. S and G's songs bring you deep within yourself, to a point where music rarely takes you. I am also in a band, and we're trying to make our lyrics meaningful as well. But its hard, as the simpler the lyrics, the easier they are too sing. The only cure, to introduce the Youth to these bands, is to create remixes in which they will enjoy
@ILOVESHIT2000 yes...the fact that this song was featured in a movie that came out 40 years after the song did will forever ruin this song...that makes sense
That depends on which studio version. The first was folky, like this one. Then after they broke up and Simon went to England, the song started getting heavy rotation on radio and the producer decided to overdub a band on to the original recording, thus creating the folk-rock fusion of SoS that most are familiar with.
@goldendome10383 I think you're referring to the studio version from the Sounds of Silence album. But the original from Wednesday Morning, 3 A.M. was the best and that's the way they preferred it. They actually weren't very pleased with the re-dubbed version on Sounds of Silence. It was the record company that wanted an electric version so they brought in some studio musicians to play over the original track. If you ask me, I love both, but the original is the best.
its so weird how paul can play so good but it never seems like hes actually playing guitar. he never seems to move. but his fills are really brilliant. great song.
Amen, S&G are real artists...real musicians. 100% genuine. Very rare today. The saddest part is how young people seem so detached from their true feelings as contemporary culture saturates them with falsehoods about what it is to be human beings. So much so that the majority can't even appreciate S&G and the like. It really is a dark age of culture...especially musically speaking.
I THINK this song was on a soundtrack for an old b & w movie.
I believe it was about when the London Underground rail system was being built and they came across a spaceship buried deep beneath London. I think you can guess the rest...
Back then people were a little more respectful and didn't speak during a performance or have cell phones going off. Plus they knew they were being taped for tv or whatever.
(yes I know they didn't have cell phones back then)
if you wait till the end of the song, the credits appear and they are all written in German- therefore this is a German audience in the 60's. Many of them are dressed in suits. The performers are both Jewish - if that makes any difference , I don't know. This song sold many records -a big big hit- It was also played in the movie "The Graduate" - a blockbuster for all actors and director who won an oscar for his effort-Mike Nichols.
thanks for straightening me out. It just shows my lack of knowledge of languages. Perhaps the real reason for the audience being respectful was simply because the listeners were Dutch.
This is so early that Art is actually introducing the song, the very song that catapulted them to stardom and was to become one of the best songs ever written in the English language.
All these decades I wondered about the meaning of the lyrics.
